Write for Us Motorcycle: Motorcycle Blog Guest Post Guidelines

One result for motorcycle write for us is about writing while riding a motorbike. Another is someone promising to post about bikes if they ever make it as a writer. A couple of rider blogs and magazines have contributor pages, but there's no clear set of guidelines for someone who knows bikes and wants to share it. That's what this page is for. I'd like the mechanic's winter storage routine, the long distance rider's packing lessons after a trip that went wrong, the instructor's advice on group riding.

Not everyone here rides, but plenty of my readers do, and some run small businesses around bikes. Many of them are practical people who like knowing how things work and how to look after them. A motorcycle post should help a rider stay safer, spend less time stuck at the roadside or enjoy the next trip more, and it shouldn't read like a brochure.

60-second motorcycle guest post check

A strong submission can answer yes to all five points:

• Do you ride, repair, teach or test gear for motorcycles
• Is your advice based on bikes and miles you've done yourself
• Does your opening answer the reader's question in the first two lines
• Have you kept out anything that encourages unsafe riding
• Would a new rider understand it without a workshop manual

Read the guidelines and submit your guest post.

What we publish

• Choosing a first bike as a new rider
• Seasonal maintenance and winter storage
• Planning a long tour and choosing a route
• Riding gear fit and what matters most
• Custom builds and restoration stories
• Rider training and group riding etiquette
• Commuting by bike through the darker months
• Running a small motorcycle workshop or gear business

If your post could be published on any motorcycle site with the logo swapped, it is not for us.

What we look for in motorcycle posts

Motorcycle pitches that get a yes share a few habits, and the right column lists the ones that don't make it.

Topic	What gets accepted	What gets declined
First bikes	Advice for new riders based on what you've ridden	Spec sheets with no opinion
Maintenance	A routine you follow, step by step	Shortcuts that skip safety checks
Touring	Trip planning lessons from a ride you did	A diary with no takeaway
Gear	Kit you've worn, with what fit and what failed	A roundup of products you haven't tried
Builds	A custom or restoration project you worked on	A promo for a parts shop

What we don't accept

• Car content with a motorcycle keyword added
• Insurance lead generation articles
• Product press releases
• Anything that promotes unsafe riding
• Posts lifted from your own blog or anyone else's

What you get

• Your article in front of an engaged audience of business owners, marketers and founders
• One relevant, contextual link back to your own site
• A byline and the credibility of an established, high-traffic blog
• Editorial help to make the piece as strong as it can be before it goes live

How to submit

Send your pitch or draft through the contact form. Include the topic, the one specific problem the post solves, and a line on your first-hand experience with it. One idea per pitch works best. You will hear back on whether it is a fit before you write the full draft.

What a strong motorcycle pitch looks like

A weak pitch says "I want to write about the fastest motorcycles ever made." A strong one says "I'm a mechanic who stores customers' bikes over winter, and I want to share the checklist we run before a bike goes under a cover, the battery mistake I see every spring, and what riders can do at home." One is a brochure. The other is worth reading.

The angles that get accepted fastest

• Picking a first bike you won't outgrow too soon
• The winter storage checklist a mechanic follows
• Packing for a long tour after learning the hard way
• Gear fit and why the right jacket matters more than the brand
• Bringing an old bike back to the road
• Group riding rules that keep everyone together
• Lessons from a rider training instructor
• Commuting on two wheels when the evenings draw in

Frequently asked questions

Does Lilach Bullock accept motorcycle guest posts?

Yes. Motorcycle guest posts are welcome from riders, mechanics, riding instructors and gear testers who write from experience. We publish practical, safety minded articles and decline insurance lead pages, product press releases and anything that encourages unsafe riding.

What motorcycle topics do you accept?

First bikes, seasonal maintenance and storage, touring and trip planning, gear fit, custom builds and restoration, rider training and group riding. Each one should give a rider something they can use on the next ride.

Do you accept automotive or cycling guest posts too?

Yes, but car pitches suit the automotive pages and pedal bike pitches suit the cycling page. You're writing to the same editor in every case, and safety and first hand detail matter just as much there.

How long should a guest post be?

Most accepted posts run between 1,200 and 2,000 words. Length matters less than usefulness: a tight 1,200 word post with one clear lesson beats a 3,000 word overview every time. Use short paragraphs, clear subheadings and at least one real example.

Can I include a link back to my own site?

One contextual link back to your own site is fine when it is relevant and helps the reader. Posts written purely to build a backlink with no real value for the reader are not published.

Do you accept previously published content?

No. Every submission must be original and not published anywhere else first, including your own blog, Medium, LinkedIn or a guest slot on another site. Republished or lightly reworded content gets declined, and we check before anything goes live.

Can I use AI tools to help write my guest post?

You can use AI to help with research or tidying your draft, but the experience, examples and opinions must be yours. Posts that read like generic AI output, with no first-hand detail, are declined.

Do you accept sponsored or commercial partnerships?

Commercial and partnership enquiries are handled separately from editorial guest posts. If you are a brand or agency wanting to work together rather than pitch an article, say so in the contact form and you will get the right details back.

How long does a decision take?

We aim to come back to you within a few working days. If the pitch is specific and clearly written, with the result in the first line, the decision is much faster.

Do you edit guest posts before they go live?

Yes. Every accepted post gets an editorial pass for clarity, structure and accuracy, and you may be asked for an extra example or a missing number. The aim is to make your piece as useful as it can be, not to change your voice.

Can I pitch more than one idea?

Yes, but send them one at a time or as a short numbered list with one line each. The strongest pitch goes first, and a single clear idea with a real result almost always beats several vague ones.

How do I submit a motorcycle guest post?

Send your pitch through the contact form with the topic, the specific result or lesson you will cover, and a line on your own experience riding, repairing or teaching on motorcycles. One idea per pitch works best, and you will hear back before you write the full draft.
