Motorcycle Summer Safety

Motorcycle Safety

Congratulations! As motorcycle enthusiasts that live in the great state of Minnesota, we are here to officially say that we did it! We survived another Minnesota winter, waiting for the snow to melt, the grass to turn green, and the warm weather to stick around for a few months.

It is SUMMER, so let’s celebrate and ride. Speaking of, what are you riding this season? Do you have any special destinations in mind? Whether you were born to ride alone or you’ve got your squad by your side, we always like to share a few safety suggestions to kick off the season.

Trust No One

Just kidding. Sort of. While there are plenty of respectful drivers on the lookout for motorcycles, there are quite a few people that are just not paying attention. To make matters worse, add in the distraction of cell phones. You are your own best defense. Always be very aware of the drivers around you.

Oh, Deer!

Watch for deer. All year long. While there is an increase in deer related accidents during mating season in the fall, Minnesota’s large and active deer population is always cause for concern when you are on the road. Just another reason to be aware of your surroundings.

Weathering the Storm

When the weather turns bad, pull over and chill out. It isn’t worth trying to beat a storm or ride when the weather is challenging. Again, you may feel confident with your driving, but you never know how experienced the drivers are around you, especially in bad weather.

Dress for the Occasion

Although summer weather in Minnesota can be beautiful, it can also take a turn for the worse very quickly. Wearing proper motorcycle gear to protect from the sun is as important as protecting yourself from the cold and rain. What you are or are not wearing can make or break a ride. Not sure what you need, stop in and visit with our staff.

Tuned up and Ready to Ride

Make sure your motorcycle has been tuned up for the season. This not only gives you peace of mind when you are out for a ride, but it is also good for the health and life of your motorcycle.

We hope you have an amazing riding season. Stop in and visit with us. We’ve got a staff that is passionate about bikes at Moon Motorsports.

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 30th Annual Donnie Smith Car and Bike Show

If you are into custom bikes and classic cars, this is a show you don’t want to miss. In fact, it promises to be the largest of its kind in the Midwest and the best show in 30 years. Not only do you get to look, see, and touch really cool cars and bikes, but you are surrounded by other people that are also into really cool cars and bikes. The show runs March 25-26th at the St. Paul RiverCentre. Prepare to be wowed! For more information, visit http://www.donniesmithbikeshow.com/

Scope out the Scene

As Minnesotans, we have access to some of the most beautiful scenic stretches of road in the country. We are blessed with bluffs, river roads, quaint little towns, lake front drives, and breathtaking rural backdrops. While you wait out the cold weather, get online and plan for a memorable motorcycle ride along one of our scenic byways. For more information and a detailed list of stunning routes, visit http://www.exploreminnesota.com/where-to-go/scenic-byways/

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.

Is this it for the 2017 Snowmobile Season?

Snowmobile Season

Is anyone else wondering what Old Man Winter is up to this snowmobile season? For many, weather this winter has been a blessing, with mild temps and moderate snowfall. It is not too often that we experience 60-degree weather in the Twin Cities, during the month of February.

While it has been a pleasant change for some, the lack of snow that has accumulated and remained on the ground has been frustrating for us, the lovers of the snowmobile. We patiently (well, maybe not patiently) wait during the warm weather months. We hope for an early winter that brings plenty of snow and cold temps, to properly preserve our snow-covered playground. Although, we did have the opportunity for a little outdoor fun midway through the winter, it would have been nice if the snow would have stuck around.

Is this it for the snowmobile season in the Twin Cities for 2017?

What do you think? Is this it for the snowmobile season in the Twin Cities for 2017? Historically speaking, March can still bring us a nice amount of snowfall. While February was somewhat of a bust, there is still hope for a snow accumulating March! A few years ago, we experienced a relatively mild winter, but ended up with a decent amount snowfall that went into the month of May.

While the Twin Cities hasn’t been the best destination for snowmobiling in the last month, there is still hope. There are areas around the state that have snow and groomed trails. If you are looking for quick weekend getaway for a little fun in the snow, check out this listing of snow depth and groomed trail conditions at http://www.dnr.state.mn.us/snow_depth/index.html

Let’s just say that there is still hope for a few more months of quality snowmobile fun. When we do get more snow this month and you have an opportunity to hit the trails, where will you go? We would love to hear your favorite snowmobile hot spots, hidden gems, and amazing trails. Here’s to hoping that the snow flies and we can blaze a few more trails in 2017.

Want to learn more about the brands we carry or our new and used inventory of snowmobiles? Visit us online at http://www.moonmotorsports.com/inventory/v1/or stop by our showroom.
