A motorcycle rider should not wear loose or too long
clothes to avoid danger.

mind, relax and be careful.

The safety of two-wheel vehicles is influenced by sitting
position. The rider should sit on the central part of the
seat cushion. If the rider sits on the rear part of the seat,
the load of front wheel will decrease. As a result, the
handlebar will swing and cause danger to the rider.
When making a turn, it will be easier for the rider to
steer the motorcycle by leaning the body inward slightly.
The motorcycle will lose its balance if the rider fails to
keep his body leaning inward.
When riding on a damaged or macadam road. Slow
down the speed and hold the handlebar tightly.
(3) CARRYING GOODS
Keep a good sitting posture to operate the motorcycle
properly.
The feel of the handlebar will be different when carrying
goods on the motorcycle. Overloading may cause the
handlebar to swing. Avoid riding with overload.
