What should you tell your passenger before riding about cornering?

Explanation:
When a motorcycle turns, you and your passenger need to lean into the turn together. Tell your passenger to lean in the same direction as you, so your combined weight stays over the bike’s tires. This keeps the gravity and centrifugal forces aligned with the tires’ grip, helping you maintain balance and control through the curve. Leaning opposite the rider or staying upright disrupts that balance and can reduce traction, while standing up is unsafe for riding.
