What Do You Want To Know Wednesday?? Week 3

It's Week 3 and you know what that means!!! 
 It's time for What Do You Want To Know Wednesday????

I'd like you to submit questions...these can be questions about me or whatever question you are dying to ask!  On Wednesdays...I will answer one or two of your questions or find the answer to your question...lol!! Just remember to keep the questions "family friendly", nothing inappropriate please!!!




Kim, over at Millie's Mats, had a question for me last week:
My question is: How can you lean into the turn on a bike? Lol.
I am a terrible passenger.
I just can't do it. As soon as the bike leans, I automatically lean the other way.
No wonder no one will take me riding! Lol


I went to Tips for the Motorcycle Passenger to give you an idea of what to do as a passenger:
"Being a passenger on a motorcycle means being aware of what you need to do to help the motorcycle driver.  As a passenger, you don't really lean into the curve, the driver does.  So when you get on back, place your hands on the hips of the driver until you really get use to being a passenger.  Motorcycles turn by leaning (banking like an airplane), not by steering like a car. So don't be alarmed when the motorcycle leans over to go around a corner. To position yourself perfectly for a turn, just look over the rider's shoulder in the direction of the turn. If the motorcycle is turning right, look over the rider's right shoulder; if it is turning left, look over the rider's left shoulder.

You don't have to do anything else; looking naturally over the rider's inside shoulder will automatically put your weight right where it belongs in a turn. Keep your body in line with the rider's body to prevent the motorcycle from leaning more than the rider intends. (When going straight, it doesn't matter which shoulder you look over.) Never lean out of a turn; you could cause an accident that way, which is another big no-no."

Hope this helps!!!!
