🏍️ Riding While Pregnant…
I’ve been tossing around an idea and wanted to get your thoughts. As some of you know, I’m pregnant with baby #2. 💛 It’s got me wondering… would anyone actually be interested in a little series where I document my riding (or not riding!) throughout pregnancy? Not as advice, because every pregnancy is different and everyone’s circumstances are different. Listening to your own body (and your healthcare team) always comes first. More as a real-life journal of: • When I decided to stop riding • How my confidence changed (or didn’t) • Comfort, gear, and bike fit • The emotions that come with taking a break • Getting back on the bike after baby I feel like it’s a topic that isn’t talked about much, but I also don’t know if there’s actually any interest in it. So tell me… 🩷 Have you ridden while pregnant? 🩷 Would you be too scared to? 🩷 Is this something you’d genuinely be curious to follow, even if you’re not pregnant yourself? I’d love to hear your thoughts! 👇

🖤 Tell us one cool/random thing about you (that doesn’t have to do with motorcycles)
Okay I want to know more about the humans behind the helmets 👀 Tell us one or more cool, random, unexpected or niche thing about yourself that doesn’t necessarily have to do with motorcycles! Could be: - weird skill - unusual job - hidden talent - random life story - hobby - country you lived in - something nobody would guess about you I’ll start 👇 - I’m 5’4” and ride a KTM 1290 Super Duke R so I basically look like a child stealing a motorcycle - I spent most of my teenage years living in mainland China and became fluent in Mandarin within about two years (reading/writing too, although I’d definitely need practice now 😅) - I’m also a French-trained chef 👩🏻‍🍳 Your turn 👀🖤

Mini Lesson: How To Sit On A Bike At A Dealership (Without Feeling Awkward)
One of the best things you can do when researching motorcycles is actually sit on them. A bike can look perfect online and feel completely wrong in person… and vice versa. A few dealership etiquette tips that most people aren’t told: 1. Always Ask First Some dealerships are happy for you to sit on bikes. Some prefer a staff member move the bike first. Some don’t allow customers to sit on certain models. A quick: “Would it be okay if I sat on this one?” goes a long way. Even if you then tell them to leave you alone for a second. 2. Don’t Sit On Bikes With A SOLD Sticker This one’s pretty simple. If a bike has a SOLD sticker on it, leave it for its new owner. If you’re not sure whether a sticker means sold, ask. Some dealerships use stickers for different reasons and it’s better to check than assume. 3. If You Change Gears, Put It Back A lot of riders don’t realise this. If you click through the gears while sitting on a bike, try to return it to neutral before you get off. Dealership staff often have to move dozens of bikes around every day. Finding random bikes left in gear can be frustrating when you’re trying to push them around the showroom. 😅 4. Harley Riders: Beware The Beeping Many Harleys are left in transport mode or have their security systems active. If you sit on one and it starts beeping… 🚨 Stop pressing buttons. 🚨 Stop touching switches. 🚨 Step away. Because the next sound may be the full alarm system announcing your presence to the entire dealership. 😂 5. Ignore The Spec Sheet For A Minute When you’re sitting on a bike, focus on: ✅ Can I comfortably reach the ground? ✅ Can I reach the controls naturally? ✅ Does it feel manageable? ✅ Can I imagine riding this for an hour? The goal isn’t to impress anyone. The goal is to find a bike you’ll actually enjoy riding. 👇 What’s a bike you thought would fit perfectly… but didn’t? Or a bike you almost ignored until you sat on it and went: “Oh… I get it now.” 😍

And I bought brand new because it was the same price or even less in some cases as the used ones I looked at. Crazy.

I’m tossing around a couple of ideas for MotoMuse as we grow and I’d love your honest feedback. Would you be more interested in: 🎥 Free long-form content (YouTube-style videos) covering topics like: - Choosing the right bike - Confidence building - Bike fit & comfort - Lowering motorcycles - Buying from dealerships - Beginner rider tips - Real rider stories and reviews OR 💬 Small-group or one-on-one sessions where you could ask questions specific to you, your bike, your confidence, your riding goals, etc. (This would likely be a paid option if I go ahead with it.) OR 👀 Both? Most importantly: What would you want to learn? If MotoMuse could help you solve ONE motorcycle-related problem right now, what would it be? No wrong answers. I’m trying to build what YOU actually need, not what I think you need. 🖤🏍️👇

@Luce Taverner I just read the Dealing with Dealers lesson. Dude that was incredible. I have spoken to friends and family who have purchased from dealers and they did not have that depth of knowledge. I'm going to reread it later....and take notes, because for someone like me (still shopping around for their first bike) that stuff is GOLD. Thankyou so much, it is supremely helpful. (The stuff about finance vs cash I found really interesting...I never thought about it like that...)

@Luce Taverner yes absolutely about the experience… I already went into our local dealership (on two wheels) just for a look…they were so awesome and sat me on a bunch of bikes even though I told them I wasn’t buying today. But now I feel like I can definitely go on there and not feel out of my depth which is important to me. Thanks again ! 🥰
ASK LITERALLY ANYTHING THREAD
No judgement. No stupid questions. No gatekeeping. Need help with: - choosing a bike? - confidence? - dropping your bike? - gear? - learning? - cornering? - height concerns? - what CC to get? - convincing yourself to finally ride again? Ask literally anything below 👇 Beginner questions, experienced rider advice, weird questions, emotional questions, all welcome 😅 If you’ve been riding a while, jump in and help someone out too — your advice could genuinely change someone’s riding journey.
