I realised we spend a lot of time teaching people how to ride motorcycles, but almost nobody teaches people how to be a pillion. How to sit comfortably. How to communicate with your rider. Why bikes lean. What to do when you're nervous. How to survive a full-day road trip without wanting to throw yourself into a ditch. 😅 So I put together a course covering everything I wish more pillions were taught from day one. Whether you're brand new, ride with your partner every weekend, or you're starting to wonder if you might want your own bike one day, I hope it helps. As always, it's completely free for MotoMuse members. 💙 Have you ever been a pillion? What's the one thing you wish someone had told you before your first ride?

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.” 😍

I've just released a brand new course: 🧠 Dealership Insider This one is a little different. It's based on my years working inside Australian motorcycle dealerships and covers things like: ✅ Trade-ins ✅ Negotiating ✅ Timing your purchase ✅ Finance myths ✅ Dealer red flags ✅ Floorplan explained ✅ Smart buyer questions As a founding member, you've got access to it already. 🩷 I'd absolutely love it if a few of you could jump in, have a look, and tell me what you genuinely think. I'm not fishing for compliments — if something is confusing, boring, missing, too long, too short, whatever... tell me. I want to make this as useful as possible. If you do enjoy it, I'd also love to hear: 💬 What was your biggest takeaway? 💬 Did you learn anything that surprised you? 💬 Would you recommend it to another rider? Your comments will help me improve the course and (with your permission) may also help me show future members the kind of value we're building here at MotoMuse. ✨ Thank you for helping build this community from the ground up. Every course, review, challenge and conversation exists because people like you decided to be here early. 💖 Now go be brutally honest with me. 👇

Before we dive into body position, communication, cornering, and all the fun stuff, we'd love to get to know you. Tell us a little about yourself: ✨ What's your name? ✨ Where are you from? ✨ Who do you usually ride with? ✨ How many times have you ridden pillion? - Never - A few times - Regularly - I'm basically a permanent backpack 😆 ✨ What's the thing that makes you most nervous about being a pillion? ✨ What's the thing you're most excited to learn from this course? And for fun... 🏍️ If you could jump on the back of ANY motorcycle tomorrow, what would it be? Remember, there are no silly questions here. Every experienced rider and pillion started somewhere, and this community is all about learning together. We can't wait to hear your story!
