Why Riding with a Partner is Good for Your Health

motorcycle trip Ok, so riding with a partner isn’t on one of those top ten lists of things to do in 2017 to improve your health, but I bet I have your attention. Maybe there have been a few studies done on how surrounding yourself with others can improve your mood, but that isn’t what I am talking.

What I mean when I say “good for your health” is that riding in groups or with a partner can actually be a lifesaver. I do understand the need to be out on your own. I get it. There is a lone wolf in all of us. Plus, it is unrealistic to get the squad together every time you want to ride, but there is something to say about strength in numbers.

Whether you enjoy getting out on your snowmobile, motorcycle, ATV, or all of the above, think before you ride alone, especially when it comes to long distance runs or unfamiliar routes. Riding in groups or with a partner offers a safety net, in case anything should go wrong along the way.

If you are planning to ride alone, especially long distances or unfamiliar territory, let someone know. Leave as much information as possible, such as your route, any planned stops along the way, and when you plan on arriving at your destination. While this may sound like common knowledge, keep your phone charged and in a safe, dry, waterproof place, in case of an emergency.

Enjoy the ride.

Whatever you do, enjoy the ride. Here’s to the open road, blazing new trails, the sun on your face, and the love of all things motorsports.

From motorcycles to ATVs to snowmobiles, we love to talk motorsports. Stop in at our Moon Motorsports showroom today or visit us online at http://www.moonmotorsports.com. We have a wide selection of new and used inventory and plenty of gear for the season.

Seize the Day – Get Your Motorcycle Road Ready

Motorcycle

Are you itching to get out on your motorcycle? Maybe you have already had the opportunity to ride this year. The weather this winter has been anything but predictable. Sixty plus degrees in the Twin Cities during the month of February is pretty insane.

I am guessing that if you had the chance, you got out there. You did what every motorcycle loving human being has been waiting all winter long to do. You seized the moment and had the pleasure of hitting the open road, feeling the sun on your face. While it was short lived, those few warm days were awesome.

Get Your Motorcycle Road Ready, So You Can Seize the Day!

While seizing the moment sounds pretty carefree, it actually requires a little bit of planning, especially when it comes to the health of your motorcycle. If your bike has been sitting in storage all winter, get it in for a tune-up. Having your bike tuned up and ready to go is not only liberating, but can also help extend the life of your bike.

The last thing anyone wants on that first ride is to be stranded on the side of the road due to a flat tire, dead battery, or stale gas.

If you haven’t had the opportunity, now is the perfect time to get your motorcycle ready for that first spring ride. We’d be happy to check out your bike, give it an annual tune-up, and have you ready to seize the next unseasonably warm day.

Give us a call at 763-295-2920 or set up an appointment online at http://www.moonmotorsports.com/schedule-a-service-appointment–xservice_request. Our highly-trained technicians will service your bike and have you ready to ride.

Plans for the 2017 Motorcycle Season

To do list

What do you do while you wait for the warm weather to arrive and the 2017 motorcycle season to begin? If you are like most, you can’t wait to get back on your bike and ride off into the sunset. While you daydream about warmer weather and the open road, we put together a few ideas to help inspire and prepare you for the upcoming bike season.

Plan to Attend the 30^th Annual Donnie Smith Car and Bike Show

The show runs March 25-26^th at the St. Paul RiverCentre. Prepare to be wowed! For more information, visit http://www.donniesmithbikeshow.com/

Ride with a Purpose

Are you a philanthropist by nature or do you have a cause that is close to your heart? Good people everywhere are coordinating motorcycle fundraising rides around town, the state, and the country. If you are into group rides, having fun, meeting new people, and raising money for a good cause, get involved.

Tune it Up for Motorcycle Season

If your motorcycle has been sitting in storage all winter, chances are it needs a tune-up. From stale gas in the tank to low air pressure in the tires, having an annual tune-up is the ideal way to ensure your bike is running smoothly and road ready. Schedule your tune up today. If you wait until one of the first warm days, you will probably have to schedule out into the future. Although everyone is daydreaming about getting out on the road, it usually takes a nice, warm day to remind people to get in for a tune up.

Interested in a new bike, new gear, or just want to talk motorcycles? Stop by our showroom. We’ve got a team of motorsport experts that love to talk motorsports. You can also check out new and pre-owned inventory online or schedule that tune up. Safe riding.

Do you find yourself daydreaming of twisting the throttle on the open road? Do you already wear a helmet on your morning commute? Maybe you spend the weekend off the grid on your ATV or Snowmobile? Well, welcome to the Moon Motorsports blog. We’ll be providing you with all the latest news and information on the motorcycle and powersports industry. We eat, breath and sleep everything motorsports.

Moon Motorsports is a third-generation family owned and operated dealership in Monticello, MN, specializing in premium motorcycles and off-road vehicles. Moon Motorsports was started in the mid-1950s by Milo Moon, Sr. In the beginning Moon Motorsports was primarily selling and servicing Plymouth and DeSoto automobiles. Milo’s appreciation for motorcycles soon found more bikes in the shop than cars. Then in the early 60’s Moon Motorsports received its lineup of Hondas and it was all downhill from there.

Fast forward 50 years and our lineup today has expanded to include European models from Triumph, BMW, Ducati to our longtime partners Yamaha, Honda and Polaris. Our passion for the industry combined with driven customer service has now made us Minnesota’s dealer and service center.

We ride what you ride, and know that much more goes into the lifestyle than most people think. Our Parts Department can help you repair your ride or customize it for your individual taste. We also carry an array of gear for sale ranging from safety equipment to casual apparel.

Moon Motorsports has everything an enthusiastic rider like you could ask for. So, in the meantime while you’re waiting for that next ride make sure to visit our website, or come down and visit the store.
