From your friends at Glenn Curtiss Motorsports

The weather sure has cooperated for riding motorcycles so far. Many of you have stopped by already to say "hi", to pick up a couple cheap tires, some accessories and to see what's new in the store.

You've noticed that Glenn demolished some walls in our Parts Department to make room for new apparel and accessories. If you like to wrench on your bike, stop in and enter our REVIVE YOUR RIDE CONTEST. It's your chance to grab a $10,0000 pre-loaded MasterCard to buy a whole lot of motorcycle-related stuff.


TOP SUMMER TIPS, YOUR QUESTIONS ANSWERED

Our staff at Glenn Curtiss Motorsports staff has been in the powersports industry for more than 60 years, people trust our advice. It's common that we answer hundreds of questions a week. We love it, because it keeps us sharp. Here are the top questions we answered last month.

Q: DO I NEED A MOTORCYCLE LICENSE TO RIDE A SCOOTER?

A: It depends on the size of the scooter.

If the scooter engine is 49cc or smaller and is made for one person to ride, then you need a valid driver's license, but you don't need a Wisconsin motorcycle endorsement. If the scooter is 50cc or greater, usually built for 2 passengers, then you need a valid driver's license and the motorcycle endorsement. We suggest a helmet and proper clothing no matter how large or small the scooter. For motorcycle training, we recommend Road America Motorcycle School or Moraine Park Technical College.


Q: HOW TIGHT SHOULD MY HELMET FIT?

A: Your helmet should fit snug, but not tight.

You shouldn't have a headache after you wear your helmet. Manufacturers have different specs for sizing too. If you're a medium in a Nolan doesn't mean you're a medium in a Scorpion helmet. The padding should conform to your head and loosen within the first couple of months. When this happens it shouldn't be too lose either. It's a good idea stop back in and have Dave or Glenn in our Parts Dept. take a look. They've have been trained by the experts to make sure you receive the proper fit on any of the gear you purchase here at Glenn Curtiss Motorsports.

Q: HAS IT BECOME EASIER TO GET FINANCING?

A: Yes, banks and credit unions have eased up and are getting back to the business of loaning money.

At Glenn Curtiss Motorsports, we have several lenders we can use to get the best rates for every customer.


Q: WHAT IF MY CREDIT ISN'T PERFECT?

A: We have options to help you improve your score.

We've all seen the We've all seen the commercials on TV with the guy that can't sing and has bad credit. Do you know what your credit score is? Do you know what's on your credit report? Once a year you can write to the three credit reporting agencies and get a copy of your credit report sent to you. What do you do if your credit is not so good or you find false info on your credit report? We just began working with Vertisel a company that walks you through the process of cleaning up your credit report. During the 90 Day Credit Improvement Program they'll go through your report and help you clean it up. Your sure to be back on track in no time. We have added a link to Vertisel on the home page of gcmsports.com.



Q: HOW CAN I BE SURE TO THE BEST DEAL?

A: Buying the wrong cycle or ATV at a low price isn't a great deal.

Too many people base their bike/atv purchase on price alone and don't get the vehicle that will work best for them. At Glenn Curtiss Motorsports we know that price is always a factor, but we want you to know that the real value is getting the RIGHT VEHICLE at a right price. That's why we're nosey and ask lots of question. In most cases, we offer you several choices in your price range that would work better than what you thought you needed. We want you to enjoy your ride from the moment you leave our parking lot.
