Standing up on a motorcycle has nothing to do with comfort and everything to do with balance. Standing, your centre of gravity is lower, the bike can move beneath you and you have a better overview.
Learning to ride standing up
- Start on a straight: Stand up on a flat, quiet stretch and ride a few metres.
- Knees slightly bent: Hold on to the bike with your legs, not your arms.
- Look far ahead: The further you look, the calmer the bike stays.
In Offroad Mindset we work on posture and confidence away from the passes. You'll find all the details in my coaching offers.
