Sometimes the weather can catch you off guard, but with the right gear and a good mindset you can persevere. There was an early snowstorm here yesterday and several folks had ridden their two-wheeled machines to work.
I can honestly say we were happy to see the posts on Facebook and various other social media. Pictures of people cleaning some snow off of their seats; putting on the right gear and riding home.
It's a bit of a shock coming out from work and seeing your bike waiting for you like this. Believe us, the bike will still start and take you home. All you need is the right gear to get you there in comfort. That is where we can help. We have been riding in this stuff for decades and have the gear to keep you warm and dry. The right attitude is up to you ( but is so much easier when you are warm).
Don't be afraid of some bad weather.
Come by and let us get you ready for anything nature can throw your way.
Having the right gear really does allow you to enjoy the ride!
Every so often we feel a need to talk about one of our vendors and just how much we like their products. This time it is Cheeky seats. This dynamic duo from a small town in Pennsylvania makes a great line of products, gear and generally great stuff. They build everything from fantastic slip-on seat covers, and tire covers, to capes for keeping you warm in the cold.
Is your bike seat a little dull and boring in its lifeless black cover? Do you need a little style for your ride? Then you need to check out the amazing choice of styles and fabrics you have to choose from. Cheeky seats has so many options to choose from that it can be hard to make up your mind. That's the great thing about their seats covers. They really are custom fitted covers that can installed and removed in about 15 seconds. Feel like having the tiger fur on your stella? You can stretch the fitted cover (made just for your seat pattern) over your stock seat in about 30 seconds. Its a rainy night and you want to run the checked pattern one instead of the fur? Easy, strip the old cover off in 10 seconds and install the waterproof checked one for a rainy night. It really is that easy; here we can show you.
See how easy? Did we mention that you can own more than one? OH YES, if you need a good practical waterproof cover for daily driving with a little style. They have you covered (see what we did there?)
Think you are headed to a rally this weekend and want something a little more eye-catching for your ride? They might just be able to help.
Their newest addition to the line is the Scooter cape, a great idea to keep you warm and dry on these cool days, and this one has great style
There is even some safety built into this guy for riding at night, check out the reflective piping under light. We have been testing the prototype here at Scoot Carlisle for quite some time and have had several comments on just how bright this stuff is in the dark.
If you want to check one of these scooter capes out in person we have them IN STOCK at the shop ready to go home with you. We have several of their seat covers in stock and even some on our bikes. Be sure to click on some of the links and check out some of what they have to offer. If you are local to us, we are a dealer for all they sell and you can get it from us. If you read our blog from afar be sure to send them your business. You will be supporting a small business, and some great folks who are part of the scooter community. This is all they do at Cheeky seats; make us look good with quality made products and great customer service.
