RTT Motorcycle Handling and Control 2

Question 1

When riding through a curve, where should you position your body weight?

Accepted Answer

Shift weight toward the inside of the curve with the motorcycle

Answer

In a curve, your body and the motorcycle should lean together toward the inside of the turn for proper cornering balance.

Question 2

What is 'target fixation' and why is it dangerous for motorcyclists?

Accepted Answer

The tendency to ride toward whatever you are staring at

Answer

Target fixation causes riders to unintentionally steer toward whatever they are focused on, making it critical to look where you want to go, not at the hazard.

Question 3

What is the recommended technique for downshifting while braking on a motorcycle?

Accepted Answer

Apply brakes first, then downshift while releasing the clutch smoothly

Answer

Braking first slows the bike, then smooth downshifting with a controlled clutch release prevents rear wheel hop.

Question 4

On a highway on-ramp, you notice a car merging into your lane. What is the best action?

Accepted Answer

Adjust your lane position and speed to increase your visibility and space

Answer

Adjusting your position and speed creates a buffer zone and maximizes your visibility to the merging driver.

Question 5

Why should a motorcyclist avoid riding in the center of a lane in heavy traffic?

Accepted Answer

Oil and debris accumulate in the center strip of most lanes

Answer

The center track of a lane collects oil drips, coolant, and debris from vehicles, making it the most slippery part of the lane.
