While the sun is still shining, and the open road is ride-ready, fall is not too far ahead on the horizon.  The inevitable drop in temperatures will eventually bring an end to the 2024 riding season.  Once the cold weather arrives, time will be of the essence to have your motorcycle serviced before going into storage!  After each riding season, there is a rush of riders who want to get their motorcycle on the service schedule before it goes into storage and sits throughout the cold winter months.  So while you enjoy these remaining rides, do not forget that the time for service is looming!  The best way to avoid that rush and the headache of having to compete with others for time on the schedule, is to be proactive.  Even though there is still time and weeks of sunshine left, you can never schedule too early!  You can contact us today, and schedule your service appointment to align with the conclusion of riding season.  This will allow you to quickly get your motorcycle in for service after its final 2024 ride, without it having to sit stagnant for weeks before being serviced.


As we know, when a motorcycle sits unused for an extended period of time, it can lead to corrosion and degradation in various ways, which may negatively impact the performance and life-span of the motorcycle.  The best way to off-set the extent of those harmful effects is to have routine maintenance done prior to it going unused for the cold season.  Not only does that extended period of time include the harsh winter months, but it also includes those weeks of your motorcycle sitting before post-riding season service!  You can eliminate that unnecessary waiting period, by securing your maintenance appointment today.  Not only will you beat the rush of riders who have put-off scheduling, but you can enjoy the remaining 2024 riding season with ease of mind that once the cold comes, your appointment will be ready, and your ride will be serviced and prepped for storage by experienced technicians, leaving it in optimal condition for the 2025 season.  Even more important than getting ahead of the scheduling rush, is the fact that when servicing your motorcycle our skilled technicians will be able to identify and address any lingering or underlying problems that are present in your motorcycle.  If these were left to develop throughout the winter storage period, they could lead to malfunctions and failures on future rides, putting riders and passengers at risk of danger.  So while it will sit unused for a number of months, the care and treatment of it during that period is just as important as in the riding season!      


Plan ahead, and get your motorcycle’s service appointment scheduled now, so you are not competing with others in the postseason rush!  The transition from riding season to winter storage will be more seamless than ever, and you will get the most out of your motorcycle when you prioritize routine maintenance year-round!
