In cornering, what should your feet be like while the motorcycle is moving?

• A. Keep them on the footrest when the motorcycle is moving. Avoid pointing toes down. Keep them near the controls.
• B. Keep feet flat on the foot pegs
• C. Point toes down toward the ground
• D. Keep feet away from the controls

Answer: (A)

When you corner, your feet should stay on the footrests and remain close to the controls, with toes kept from pointing downward. This position gives you a stable base and keeps your feet ready to respond quickly if you need to brake, accelerate, or shift weight as the bike leans. Pointing toes down can drag them or catch the ground and throws off your balance, while lifting feet away from the controls robs you of immediate control and reaction when the bike is leaned over. Keeping the feet on the pegs and near the controls helps maintain balance, stability, and responsiveness throughout the turn.
