What should a rider do when making a slow, tight turn?

Lean the motorcycle while keeping body straight
Shift positions quickly
Close eyes for better concentration
Look in the opposite direction of the turn

The correct answer is: Lean the motorcycle while keeping body straight

When making a slow, tight turn on a motorcycle, it is crucial for the rider to lean the motorcycle while keeping their body straight. This technique helps to maintain balance, stability, and control during the turn. By leaning the motorcycle while keeping the body straight, the rider can ensure that they are able to navigate the turn smoothly without losing control or veering off course. Shifting positions quickly, closing eyes for better concentration, and looking in the opposite direction of the turn are not recommended actions when making a slow, tight turn on a motorcycle. Shifting positions quickly can disrupt balance, closing eyes is extremely dangerous and should never be done while riding, and looking in the opposite direction of the turn can lead to improper steering and potentially dangerous situations. Therefore, the correct and safest approach when making a slow, tight turn on a motorcycle is to lean the motorcycle while keeping the body straight.
