Tell your passengers when you are about to start from a stop, they should?

• A. Let go.
• B. Tighten their hold.
• C. Look away.
• D. Stand up.

Answer: (B)

When a motorcycle starts moving from a stop, the passenger’s weight can shift quickly and the bike can jerk a bit. The safest habit is to hold on firmly to the rider or to a secure handhold and keep steady so you don’t lose balance as acceleration begins. A firm grip helps you stay in control with the rider and prevents you from moving unpredictably that could affect the bike’s balance. Letting go, looking away, or standing up would increase the risk of losing balance or interfering with the rider’s control. Keep your feet on the footrests and stay connected through a solid grip as the bike moves.
