steer the motorcycle by leaning the body inward slightly.

keep his body leaning inward.
When riding on a damaged or macadam road. Slow
down the speed and hold the handlebar tightly.

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.
