Correct answer
Hold the handlebars firmly and reduce speed
Hold the handlebars firmly without becoming rigid, and reduce speed to preserve a control margin. Gusts may change strength or stop suddenly; anticipate changes when leaving sheltered areas or passing large vehicles and correct the path smoothly. Accelerating or weaving increases risk. No technique guarantees that wind cannot deflect the motorcycle; if control cannot be maintained, stop in a permitted, safe place.
