Winter Storage

Properly preparing your motorcycle for long-term storage is crucial to ensure it’s in good condition when you’re ready to ride again. Here are some tips:

1. Clean it thoroughly: Dirt and grime can corrode surfaces over time, so give your bike a good wash.

2. Change the oil and filter: Used oil contains contaminants that can damage your engine during storage. Fresh oil helps protect internal components.

3. Top off fluids: Ensure your coolant, brake fluid, and other essential fluids are at the proper levels.

4. Fuel system: Add a fuel stabilizer to prevent the fuel from breaking down and causing issues. Run the bike for a few minutes to let the stabilized fuel circulate through the system.

5. Remove the battery: If possible, store the battery in a cool, dry place and keep it on a battery maintainer to prevent it from losing charge.

6. Tire maintenance: Inflate the tires to the recommended pressure to prevent flat spots. If possible, elevate the tires or put the bike on a stand.

7. Protect against rust: Apply a corrosion inhibitor to metal surfaces, and consider using a cover to protect the bike from dust and moisture.

8. Store in a cool, dry place: Ideally, keep your motorcycle in a garage or shed to protect it from the elements.

9. Secure the exhaust: Critters love to make homes in warm exhaust pipes, so plug them or cover them to prevent unwanted guests.

10. Documentation: Take photos of your bike and make a checklist of the steps you’ve taken for easy reference when you’re ready to bring it out of storage.

With these steps, your motorcycle should be in good shape when you’re ready to hit the road again!

Winter Riding

Riding a motorcycle in winter requires some extra precautions. First off, make sure your bike is winter-ready with good tires and appropriate fluids. Layer up for warmth, and don’t forget those gloves! Keep an eye on the weather, and avoid riding in extreme conditions. And of course, ride at a moderate speed and increase your following distance—it takes longer to stop on icy roads. Stay safe out there!

Riding through the Kaleidoscope

New England’s fall season transforms the landscape into a breathtaking canvas of colors, making it an ideal destination for motorcycle enthusiasts. The crisp air, the scent of fallen leaves, and the vibrant hues of red, orange, and gold create a sensory symphony for riders exploring the winding roads of this picturesque region.

The Foliage Tour:

Embarking on a motorcycle journey through New England in the fall is like diving into a kaleidoscope of colors. The iconic scenic byways, such as the Kancamagus Highway in New Hampshire or Vermont’s Route 100, weave through landscapes adorned with the fiery hues of autumn.

Weather and Gear:

Fall weather can be unpredictable, so riders should be prepared for temperature variations and potential rain. Layered clothing and waterproof gear are essential companions for a fall motorcycle expedition. The brisk air adds a refreshing touch to the ride, invigorating the senses as you navigate the twisting roads.

Safety First:

While the fall scenery is captivating, safety should always be a top priority. Wet leaves can be slippery, and wildlife may be more active during this season. Stay vigilant, wear protective gear, and adhere to speed limits. Additionally, checking the weather forecast before each ride ensures that you’re prepared for any unexpected changes.

Motorcycling through New England in the fall is an unparalleled experience for riders seeking a perfect blend of natural beauty, cultural exploration, and exhilarating twists and turns. As the leaves crunch beneath your tires and the autumn breeze embraces you, you’ll understand why fall in New England is a bucket-list adventure for motorcycle enthusiasts. So, rev up your engine, don your riding gear, and embark on a journey through a landscape that truly comes alive with the magic of fall.
