Spring is in the AIR!! At least where I am...

My head is at the shop, getting ready for May already! Reservations are starting to trickle in thru the new online feature on the website, I've designed a new store front sign, the website works, and I'm planning in my head how Spring maintenance is going to flow.

This years spring maintenance is going to be a bit more laborious, as it's time to do valve adjustments, and take a good tire evaluation. When I left in the fall, I was replacing drive belts, and brake pads, so that will continue thru May.
Luckily, a helluva guy named Bill Bergstrom from the front range will be coming up to assist me. He's got a motorcycle lift for the Ruckus, and he's going to teach me to do the valve adjusts. He'll be my fresh eyes on the scooters!

Things I'm still working on: New Maps, more accurate info about the routes like times and features.

Things I'm thinking about: Offering a photography service. We'll take a group photo at a particular destination and the image can be purchased in postcard or greeting card formats.

All I know is I am ready to take a scooter up into the park again! Right now that would require tire chains... but, the vision is there.
