What is the safest way to carry cargo on a motorcycle?
- A.Stack it as high as possible behind the seat
- B.Hang bags from the handlebars for easy access
- C.Keep it low, centered, and securely fastened, within the motorcycle's weight limits
- D.Carry loose items in your lap so you can hold them
Correct answer
C. Keep it low, centered, and securely fastened, within the motorcycle's weight limits
Why
Low, centered, and tightly secured cargo has the least effect on handling and cannot fall into the wheels or chain. Recheck straps after the first few miles, since loads can settle and loosen.
