7. To effectively provide protection for a motorcycle rider, pants should:

Be made of a soft material.

Be made of a heavy material.

Fit loosely enough that they flap in the wind.

Be short and expose some parts of the legs.

For your protection, you should wear pants that cover your entire legs and are made of leather or another sturdy synthetic material. Clothing should fit snugly enough that it does not flap in the wind but not so snugly that it restricts your movement.

8. Why should a load be placed low on a motorcycle?

If a load is too high, it raises the center of gravity.

If a load is too high, it may interfere with the turn signals.

It may be difficult to see over a load that is placed too high.

Others can't see your load if it is low.

Placing a load too high on a motorcycle will raise the motorcycle's center of gravity and risk upsetting its balance.

9. When braking on a slippery surface, you should:

Use both the front and rear brakes.

Use abrupt pressure on the front brake to prevent locking the front tire.

Only use the rear brake.

Use either brake, but use only one brake.

When riding on slippery surfaces, you should use both brakes to slow down. Squeeze the brake lever gradually to avoid locking the front wheel and use gentle pressure on the rear brake.

10. You will ______ hear a tire going flat.

Always

Usually

Frequently

Seldom

Motorcycle riders will rarely actually hear a tire going flat. Tire failure is more often indicated by a change in how the motorcycle handles.

11. A motorcyclist is well-protected if they are wearing:

A jacket that allows the arms to be exposed.

Boots with tall heels.

Leather gloves.

Shoes that stop below their ankle.

For your protection while riding, it is best to wear a jacket and pants that cover your arms and legs completely. Boots or shoes should be tall and sturdy enough to cover and support your ankles. Footwear should have low heels that will not catch on the foot pegs or rough road surfaces. Gloves made of leather or another durable material will help protect your hands in the event of a crash while providing you with an improved grip on the controls.

12. When checking tires before a ride, you should look at all of the following except:

Air pressure

General wear

General tread

Shininess

Before each ride, you should check the air pressure, tread, and general wear of your tires.
