Remember You're a Rider: The Mindset Guide for New and Nervous Motorcycle Riders
Learn What’s Really Going On Inside Your Helmet
Riding isn’t just physical.
It’s psychological.
Most motorcycle books focus on skills, bikes, and adventures. This book focuses on what’s happening inside your head and nervous system when you ride, and why that matters for motorcycle confidence, safety, and enjoyment.
If you’ve ever wondered why you can be capable and confident in everyday life, yet feel tense, hesitant, or overwhelmed on a bike, this book will help it make sense.
“If someone had produced this work at the start of my motorcycling journey, it would have been like having a Jedi biker in my pocket.”
Jim Sanderson, creator of Biker Down
This book explains:
-
Why learning to ride a motorcycle as an adult often feels harder than expected
-
How the brain and nervous system influence fear, panic, hesitation, and stress
-
Why motorcycle confidence can dip even after years of riding
-
How identity, belonging, perfectionism, and imposter syndrome show up on the bike
-
How menopause and perimenopause can affect confidence, focus, and emotional regulation when riding
-
Why riders with ADHD may experience heightened overwhelm, distraction, or self-criticism
-
Simple mindset tools that help you feel calmer, safer, and more in control
-
What’s normal, what’s not, and what to do next
“Despite 44 years of riding experience, I found the psychological perspective refreshing and valuable. This is a book for riders at any stage.”
Jayne Wilson, MRSC, rider of 44 years
Who this book is for:
-
New riders
-
Nervous or anxious riders
-
Riders returning after a break, wobble, or incident
-
Experienced riders who can’t explain why riding suddenly feels harder
Written by Claire Jones, award-winning mindset coach and later-life rider, Remember You’re a Rider bridges the gap between technical training and the lived psychological experience of riding.
It does not replace professional motorcycle instruction.
It complements it, helping riders understand their reactions, regulate their nervous system, and make better use of their training.
Each chapter includes clear explanations, real rider examples, and practical summaries you can return to again and again.
This book isn’t about being fearless.
It’s about riding with your mind, body, and identity working together so you can be safer, feel safer, and actually enjoy riding.
