How can a motorcycle rider maintain balance during turns?

Relaxing the grip on the handlebars
Extending the legs outward
Keeping the elbows loose
Keeping the knees against the gas tank

The correct answer is: Keeping the knees against the gas tank

To maintain balance during turns, a motorcycle rider should keep the knees against the gas tank. By doing so, the rider can effectively control the motorcycle's movements and position their body properly for the turn. This technique helps distribute the rider's weight evenly, allowing for better stability and control while navigating the turn. Keeping the knees against the gas tank also allows the rider to lean their body into the turn smoothly and maintain proper balance throughout the maneuver. Relaxing the grip on the handlebars, extending the legs outward, and keeping the elbows loose are not effective methods for maintaining balance during turns. These actions may actually destabilize the rider and make it harder to control the motorcycle during a turn.
