I received e-newsletters from two local shops today. Both pertain to the current season. One is helpful and the other is humorous. I thought you’d appreciate both, so here’s what they had to say:
Twist ‘n’ Scoot considers fall the best riding weather and provides the following Five Tips for Fun Fall Scootering:
1.) Check your tire pressure often with the changing outdoor tempts. The rule of thumb for most scooters – tire pressure should be from 26-28lbs on the front and 28-32lbs on the rear.
2.) During rainy, wet weather have your scooter routinely serviced to reduce condensation buildup in the fuel tank and air filter box.
3.) Use your scooter weekly so the battery doesn’t deplete or make sure you have a scooter-specific charger. Automobile chargers can overheat and destroy smaller scooter batteries.
4.) Now that oil companies are adding more ethanol, 91-93 octane is recommended as the best grade of gas for scooters.
5.) Stay warm! Twist ‘n’ Scoot recommends a pullover “balaclava,” a one-piece hood and neck cover.
Big Peach Running Co. is sponsoring three races this Halloween (Beat the Street for Little Feet 5K, 2nd Annual Big Pumpkin Run 5K and 9th Annual Silver Comet Half Marathon). In honor of all this running fun, BPRC has drafted “A Halloween Poe-m,” with apologies to Edgar Allan Poe:
Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary, over many a quaint and curious collection of running shoes galore, While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping, As of someone gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door. “’Tis some runner,” I muttered, “tapping at my chamber door;?Only this, and nothing more.”
Ah, distinctly I grew sober, as it was late October,?And each separate dying ember wrought another race to run for sure. Eagerly I wished the morrow; vainly I had sought to borrow?time for my heart to follow, the wealth of races galore. Quoth the Peachy, “run some more.”
Have a safe and happy Halloween!
