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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
