In the centre of your laneThis was the right answer

When you’re riding a motorcycle, it’s very important to ride where other road users can see you. In normal weather, you should ride in the centre of your lane. This will help you avoid uneven road surfaces in the gutter, and allow others to overtake on the right if they wish.
