To control a motorcycle properly, you should:

When riding, sit so you are able use your arms to control the motorcycle rather than to hold yourself up. Your arms should be slightly bent when you are holding the handle grips. To help maintain your balance, keep your knees against the gas tank and your feet firmly on the footrests.

• Sit so you can use your arms to steer, not to hold yourself up.
• Sit far enough back on the seat that you can keep your arms straight.
• Keep your knees away from the gas tank.
• Drag your feet on the ground.
