SCOOTERS |
Scooters
are
an
economical
and
fashionable
method
of
transportation.
They
provide
a
great
vintage
style
that
is
fun
to
ride,
and
fits
into
any
lifestyle.
Scooters
were
just
a
mean
of
transport
in
the
fifties,
but
shortly
disappeared
in
the
seventies
and
eighties.
Luckily,
in
the
nineties,
scooters
had
a
come-back,
and
now
into
the
year
2009
scooters
have
become
a
cultural
phenomenon.
Do
scooters
fit
into
your
lifestyle?
If
so,
and
you
have
questions
or
comments,
please
stop
by
the
dealership
and
ask
any
of
the
sales
associates
for
more
information.

and
controls
working

| WHAT
IS
YOUR
FAVORITE
HELMET??? |
| Hannah
says... |
“My
favorite
helmet
would
have
to
be
the
‘Shark
Evoline’.
Shark
works
closely
with
the
European
Brain
Institute
to
enhance
its
safety
features.
Along
with
its’
amazing
safety
credentials,
it
has
cutting
edge
graphics
that
makes
this
helmet
stand
out
from
the
rest.
It
definitely
is
one
of
kind.”

| KEEP
IN
MIND |
| Some
Helpful
Tips |
Packing
for
a
long
distance
motorcycle
ride
is
a
simple,
yet
dreaded
task.
It
requires
a
balance
of
bringing
enough
items
to
fit
your
needs,
but
not
overloading
yourself
with
weight
and
bulk.
After
you
have
planned
your
route,
make
sure
to
check
the
weather
forecast
so
you
will
know
what
you’ll
need
for
the
duration
of
your
trip.
Also,
consider
flexibility
when
packing
your
clothes.
Consider
packing
thin
layers
of
clothing,
rather
than
a
few
thick
ones
because
it
is
better
to
have
the
option
to
stop
and
take
off
or
add
layers
as
necessary,
than
to
shiver
or
sweat
your
way
through
your
entire
trip.
As
for
food,
bring
a
few
energy
bars
or
trail
mix,
and
don’t
forget
water.
These
will
come
in
handy
when
hunger
strikes
and
you
are
30
miles
from
the
next
rest
stop.
The
next
step
will
be
to
load
up
your
bike.
When
loading
your
items,
always
put
heavier,
more
solid
items
on
the
bottom
and
towards
the
sides
closest
to
the
bike.
If
you
do
not
have
saddlebags,
you
should
use
bungee
nets
to
secure
loose
items
to
your
bike,
and
place
a
water
proof
sheet
over
your
items
just
in
case.
The
final
step
is
to
equip
yourself!
Always
wear
safety
gear
when
riding.
Hitting
the
open
road
is
an
exhilarating
experience,
but
this
is
when
riders
are
the
most
vulnerable
to
the
elements.
Besides
packing
appropriate
clothing
for
the
weather
make
sure
you
know
your
route.
If
you
do
not
have
a
portable
GPS
system,
a
good
tip
is
to
tape
your
route
on
your
gas
tank.
Make
sure
you
plan
for
places
to
fill
up.
If
there
is
an
area
where
there
isn’t
a
gas
station
for
a
long
period
of
time,
make
note
of
it.
Incorporate
these
notes
into
your
route.
It
will
be
good
reminders
to
make
sure
your
tank
is
full!
...But
Don't
Overplan!
Once
you
have
planned
and
packed,
it
is
now
time
to
enjoy!
Sit
back
and
enjoy
the
open
road.
Keep
in
mind
that
part
of
the
joy
of
the
journey
is
the
process.
Be
open
to
re-writing
your
plans
when
necessary
and
you
will
have
fun!
