When riding on the back of a motorcycle as a passenger, it is generally recommended to lean with the turns in the same direction as the driver. This technique is known as "countersteering." Countersteering involves applying a slight pressure on the handlebars in the opposite direction of the turn to initiate the lean and maintain stability.
By leaning with the driver and following their movements, you help maintain balance and stability throughout the turn. This action also helps keep the motorcycle more upright, allowing the tires to maintain better traction with the road surface.
It's important to communicate and coordinate with the driver, especially if you are new to riding as a passenger or unfamiliar with the driver's style. Following the driver's lead and maintaining a relaxed posture will contribute to a safer and more comfortable ride.
