Sit far enough back on the seat that you can keep your arms straight.

Keep your knees away from the gas tank.

Left turn

Right turn

Instead of or in addition to mechanical turn signals, operators may use hand signals to indicate turns or stops. If an operator's left arm is bent at the elbow and pointing upward, it means the operator plans to turn right or change lanes to the right.

6. When approaching an uneven surface, such as a bump or pothole, you should rise slightly off of your seat:

So your legs can absorb the shock.

So other drivers can see you better.

When riding over an uneven surface, rising off of your seat will allow your joints to absorb some of the force of impact. This will make it less likely that the impact of the surface will throw you off of the motorcycle.
