I AM LOSING MY MIND A LITTLE BIT 🫠
When you can’t ride for weeks or months because of weather,injury, health, pregnancy, life… How do you cope?

I miss my bike and the regular brain reset.
currently considering starting a book club because apparently I need a new personality until I can ride again, I’ve got a stack of motorcycle books ready to go so hit me with your recommendations!

What do you do when riding is off the table?

Buying your first motorcycle can feel a bit overwhelming, especially when you don’t have someone who knows bikes to help you out. 🏍️

So I asked experienced riders what they wish they’d known before buying their first bike — and put their advice together into a guide to help you avoid a few rookie mistakes.

Had a read and still have questions? Drop them in the comments! And if you’ve been riding for years, share the advice you wish someone had given you when you started. Let’s help the next lot of riders out. 🤝

question for the experienced riders

What do you wish someone had told you before you bought your first bike?

I'm putting together an article for MotoMuse to help new riders figure out what to look for when buying their first bike, and I'd love to hear your advice.

If you’re a shorter rider struggling to get comfortable on your bike, lowering it isn’t automatically the first thing you should do.

Suspension setup can make a HUGE difference to how a bike feels underneath you and it’s something I think more newer riders should understand before they start changing the height of their bike.

I’m currently chatting with suspension specialists to get the proper answers (rather than just repeating the usual motorcycle internet advice)

I’ll be putting everything together into a MotoMuse article soon, with practical advice specifically for newer and shorter riders.

Keep an eye on MotoMuse.com.au I’ll share the full article when it’s live.

What’s one thing you’ve always wondered about motorcycle suspension?

Okay, MotoMuse crew… I need your help 👀

I’m looking at what I want MotoMuse to be doing next year, and I want to make sure I’m actually creating stuff you want and need, not just posting for the sake of posting.

So tell me: what do you want more of?

Bike reviews? Gear? Beginner stuff? Buying advice? Confidence? Short rider tips? Real-life riding stuff?

And PLEASE send me your bike and gear reviews! 🙏

There are already heaps of reviews and articles on the website, you can search for your bike/gear, and comments are now switched on too.

So if you can’t be bothered writing a whole review, just find the same bike you own and chuck your experience in the comments. Easy.

And when we hit our next review milestone, one lucky reviewer is getting a .moto cleaning kit 🧼🏍️

So… what do you want to see from MotoMuse? And what are you riding? 👇

You’ve saved up for the bike… but have you thought about everything *after* you buy it?

Insurance, rego, gear, servicing, tyres, fuel… and all the random little things you somehow end up buying once you own a motorcycle.

I’ve written a quick MotoMuse article on the costs new riders often forget to budget for.

Worth reading before you blow the whole budget on the bike 👀

One of the first things I tell people when they're buying their first motorcycle is to stop looking at the price of the bike for a minute. Not because the price of the bike doesn't matter. Obviously it does. But if you've got $10,000 to spend and you're thinking, *“Great, I can buy a $10,000 bike,...

This one is HUGE for newer riders.

And I think we put way too much pressure on ourselves to somehow never make a mistake
A slow-speed drop is frustrating, embarrassing and occasionally expensive… but it doesn’t mean you can’t ride.

Learning slow-speed control, getting comfortable with your bike’s balance and knowing when to put your foot down can make a massive difference.

And if you do drop it?

You’ve just learned something about your bike and yourself.

Have you dropped your bike? Tell me where it happened because I guarantee you’re not the only one 😂

A little MotoMuse life update 🤍

After being kept off the bike by injury, I now have a much happier reason for staying off it we’re expecting a new baby in the new year.

There won’t be any fresh riding footage from me for a while, and posts may be a little slower, but I’m still here. If you need advice, have a riding question or simply want someone to chat bikes with, my messages are always open.

MotoMuse isn’t going anywhere. I’m just in a different season for now and I’ll be back on the bike when the time is right 🏍️
