A lite flurry of reservations for May!!

It's a though suddenly everyone is thinking about getting away in May. Since I have received many emails this week about May reservations, I'd like to bring up "attire" during this very unpredictable month.
It can snow, rain, sleet, be cold, be nice, be sunny... so everyone needs to be prepared for it all.

Once temps dip below 58F, it starts to get very cold on a scooter. Even around 60f, folks usually wished they had gloves with them.

Here's how you will get cold.

1. Fingers. They are just out front there, in the cold, clinging to those handlebar grips.

2. Ears (and face) My helmets don't really cover your ears, and your face is exposed.

3. Torso. It's the wind blocker.

And this brings me to the list. The list of things to wear to be warm on a scooter.
If you are generally an outdoorsy person, you probably have most of this anyhow.

(Of course, if you have regular motorcycle wear, that is pefect)

1.) Gortex or Windstopper everything: Gloves, Jacket and even pants are helpful.
2.) Ear coverage with out a metal band going over your head.
3.) Fleece.

Personally, I use: Fleece with a windstopper shell over that. Windstopper gloves. Ear Bags.

Anything to keep you warm is good. I've had riders show up with their own helmets, and in snow suits. :)

Also, keep in mind that the colder it gets, the worse the engines will perform. Once it gets below 55F, I will do my best to discourage from going out to ride, especially in Rocky Mountain National Park.
