Warning
Your passenger should be instructed
that he or she can cause loss of
motorcycle control by making sudden
movements or by adopting an incorrect
seated position.
The rider should instruct the
passenger as follows:
It is important that the passenger sits
still while the motorcycle is in motion
and does not interfere with the
operation of the motorcycle.
To keep his or her feet on the
passenger footrests and to firmly hold
onto the grab handles or the rider's
waist or hips.
Advise the passenger to lean with the
rider when travelling around corners
and not to lean unless the rider does
so.
Warning
The handling and braking capabilities
of a motorcycle will be affected by the
presence of a passenger. The rider
must make allowances for these
changes when operating the
motorcycle with a passenger and
should not attempt such operation
unless trained to do so and without
becoming familiar and comfortable with
the changes in motorcycle operating
characteristics that this brings about.
Motorcycle operation without making
allowances for the presence of a
passenger could lead to loss of
motorcycle control and an accident.
Warning
Do not carry animals on your
motorcycle.
An animal could make sudden and
unpredictable movements that could
lead to loss of motorcycle control and
an accident.
