FALL RIDING!

Some of the best riding of the year is now! The weather is cooler and wearing all your gear keeps you warm, cozy and safe. A full face helmet definitely keeps you warm in the cool fall air. We are fully stocked with Corazzo Jackets, warm gloves and of course, full face helmets. Watch out for those slippery leaves on the road!

Cooler air is more dense, so it requires you to warm up your scooter a bit longer than in the summer. You should always let your scoot warm up a good 3-5 minutes the first time you ride the scooter in the morning. If you've let the scooter warm up properly, but still feel your scoot is not running quite right, please give us a call or come on down to the shop. A minor carburetor adjustment for the cooler weather may be all you need!
