Anterior knee pain: In general, it is not uncommon for some knees to develop anterior knee pain after keeping them flexed over a period of time: also to include sitting through a movie or a prolonged back seat car ride. Your doctor can diagnosis the specific subset of anterior knee pain you have after a thorough history, exam and imaging. Fortunately, physical therapy often helps in many cases.

Lighten up: It is probably caused by holding on for dear life and gripping too hard with the insides of your knees. Do not grip so hard or do not ride on the back of a motorbike which in itself is fairly dangerous.
