The Facebook Group and the Website: Better Together
The Pillion Link Facebook group is brilliant for quick chat, sharing ride photos, and staying connected with the wider community. It's where many members first discover Pillion Link, and it plays an important role in keeping the community alive day to day. But the website is built to do something the group simply can't: help riders and pillions actually find each other, connect directly, and build the friendships the group sparks. Here's what the website offers that Facebook can't.
Find Riders Near You — By Location
Browse members in your area directly, without trawling through thousands of posts hoping someone nearby has commented recently. Search by location, find riders in your town or county, and reach out — all in one place.
Member Profiles Built for Motorcycling
Pillion Link profiles show your bike, your location, your riding style, and whether you're looking for social rides, a pillion, or just good company. A Facebook profile wasn't built to answer those questions, and it shows.
Private Messaging Without the Awkwardness
Message members safely within Pillion Link — no friend requests, no crossing into someone's personal Facebook. The platform makes the first move easier, because the introduction happens on neutral ground that's designed for it.
No Algorithm Burying What Matters
Facebook's feed shows what it thinks will keep you scrolling. Posts from the group disappear quickly, and there's no guarantee the people you're interested in connecting with will ever see yours. Pillion Link puts you in control of what you see and who you find.
No Ads. No Data Selling.
Pillion Link is a member platform, not an advertising machine. Your activity here isn't used to build a profile sold to third-party advertisers. What you share in the Pillion Link community stays in the riding community.
An Optional Dating Layer — If You Ever Want It
If you're open to meeting someone, you can switch the dating layer on at any time. It's completely optional and never the default — social first, romance when you're ready. The Facebook group was never going to offer that.
Articles, Polls & Riding Content in One Place
Pillion Link hosts riding articles, community polls, and member blogs — a hub of content built specifically for people on two wheels. It's always there when you want it, not buried under whatever the algorithm decided was more important today.
24/7 Dedicated Customer Care
If something goes wrong or someone makes you uncomfortable, Pillion Link's team is available around the clock. That's not something a group admin — who has their own life and their own job — can realistically provide.
A Space Where Everyone Is Here for Motorcycling
Every member on Pillion Link is a rider or pillion. The website exists entirely for this community — not as a corner of a general social network, but as a dedicated home for people who love the road and want to share it with others.
The group is how the community stays connected. The website is where it really comes alive.
Join Pillion Link free, set up your profile, and find riders and pillions near you — the full experience the Facebook group always pointed towards.
