First one of the year

   We have snow today, earlier than we would like, but we are ready none the less.
                  
The snow has started, but if you are of the same mindset as we are. It won't last forever and there are plenty more good days to ride. The snow won't stay, at least not yet.
Remember, don't leave your bike out in the cold. We have motorcycle AND scooter covers in stock. If you are one of our customers that tucks your ride away for winter; we have you covered as well. Make sure you remember to put fuel stabilizer in the tank and run it through the fuel system, and come see us for a maintenance battery tender as well. If you spend a few dollars now; you will be riding in the spring instead of bringing your ride to us in the spring to get it running again.
 
As for us? We have the fire on, the coffee is hot and we have winter projects to get finished for our customers. If you feel like stopping by, we are open and usually working on something interesting this time of year.

It must be fall

    The temperature drops and the weather gets cold, but if you shop here and watch our blog you know we can keep you comfortable on two wheels this time of year. The days are often sunny and well dressed riders can enjoy an extended season. The leaves change and provide for some beautiful sights and you should try to ride out to enjoy them.
 
     Here in the shop things begin to look a little different as well. The heat is on ( as well as the coffee )
                                                                              
 
So feel free to stop by and have a cup of joe and talk about your latest adventure, or ask us about ours.
 
The shop is slowly evolving, getting new gear and starting to get the finishing touches we didn't have time for in the spring.
 
The other thing you may notice; if you walk around to the shop side, is a full workshop this time of year.
 
This is the time of year to talk to us about those long term projects and dreams you have in the spring. We are far too busy in the warm months to tackle those long projects, but if you ever wanted a big bore kit on your buddy 125...now may be the time. We have to schedule them carefully, as we only have so much space. At the moment we have 2 engines apart on our bench; so make sure you schedule in advance.
 
The snow (eeeek) isn't on the ground yet, we have the gear to keep you and your ride going this fall. There is still PLENTY of good riding days, and besides, for the local Three Mile Island Scooter Club its parade time.
 
So we will see you there!

Winter prep

    There are lots of new things to take into account when storing a bike for the winter these days. We know what to expect and how to help prevent problems in the future. We carry scooter and motorcycle covers in stock.
      The problems of E10 fuel can be dealt with by using the correct fuel stabilizers. We carry Star-tron for day to day use, and K100 fuel stabilizer for storage. The K100 is the best stuff we have seen so far, far outperforming the other stabilizers under long term storage conditions. A few ounces of K100 will prevent a carb clean or stale fuel problems in the spring.
     If you bike has to live outside and doesn't have a warm cozy garage or shed; we can sell you a good cover to help keep the elements at bay.
      Whatever your storage solution, make sure you come see us to save yourself some headaches and money in the spring.

Buy a buddy

 
It is the "sell a buddy" sale. We have 3 buddy 125's left in stock this fall; buy one of these now and get $100 off the purchase price and FREE installation of any accessories you buy with the bike. This is the time of the year to get the good deals, and there is still time to ride before it gets too cold.

KEEP RIDING

   Don't put them away yet. We have the gear to extend your riding season; and allow you to ride in the fall and spring in comfort. The silk glove liners, cold weather  gloves, and balaclavas are IN STOCK.

     Electric gear has always been an option on bigger bikes with ample charging systems, but on small displacement motorcycles or scooters the charging system just wasn't up to the task. The problem has finally been solved with battery power. There is now no reason you can't be warm on your vintage small frame vespa in a parade or even your dirt ride in the woods. The mobile electric warming gear is not just good for two-wheeled use, but soccer games, hunting or any outdoor adventure that might make you cold.
    There are several styles to choose from, vests, thin under gear, even gloves, but what we keep in stock is a thin jacket that can be worn under your riding gear or as a stand alone jacket that can be worn as everyday apparel.
                                                                 



    The battery is a small unit concealed in one of the front pockets. The jacket will provide full power for about 3 hours on one charge, and will run 6 hours on a 50% setting. The battery is available as a separate item for $39.95 ( so you can easily carry more than one). The jacket comes with one battery and a charger included.
     Courtney decided to do a simple demonstration of just how easy it is to stay warm.

   And just look at her face once we turn the heat on; does this lady look warm or what?!
                                                                             
                                                                     
     We plan on using  several batteries this winter for skiing  and hunting as well as riding. The recharge time is less than 2 hours, and there are car chargers as well. So, you can always have a fully charged battery on hand.

There are serious discounts on both the green Hooligan
                                                                         



And the white Stellauto.


If you are seriously interested in either of these rides, stop by and see us, or give us a ring.  The bikes come with warranties, just like new.
