Ride Nation - Mary Ellen O'Connor review

Tag your ride-or-die. The one who answers "we ride" at 6am in 40 degrees. #RideNationNY #RideOrDie #NYRiders

$20,000. One bike. One lucky rider. The BikersWin giveaway is live and 100 percent free to enter. Entry link in the comments. #RideNationNY #BikersWin #20kGiveaway

Storm King Highway is still the one to beat. Route 218 clings to the cliff with the Hudson wide open below you. Put it at the top of the spring list. #RideNationNY #HudsonValley #MotorcycleRoads

New York law is simple: every rider and passenger needs a DOT helmet. Check for the DOT sticker on the back, not just a cool paint job. #RideNationNY #GearUp #ATGATT

New York fact most riders miss: no-fault does NOT cover motorcyclists. A car occupant gets PIP for their own bills, you get nothing, which is why strong health coverage and SUM matter. Questions before you ride again? O'Connor Law, no cost to talk. 914-595-4502. #RideNationNY #NewYorkLaw #NYRiders

This or that: George Washington Bridge at sunrise or the Verrazzano at dusk. Pick one. #RideNationNY #NYCMotorcycles #TwoWheels

Imagine rolling out of the shop this winter on a brand new bike you did not pay a dime to enter for. That is what $20,000 buys the BikersWin winner. Link in comments. #RideNationNY #MotorcycleGiveaway #WinABike

Seven Lakes Drive through Harriman never gets old. Easy sweepers, tree cover, and a lake around half the bends. Save it for a clear weekend morning. #RideNationNY #BearMountain #MotorcycleRoads

Dropped your helmet in the driveway? Replace it. The foam that protects your head can crush on an impact you never even felt. #RideNationNY #GearUp #RiderTips

Here is the one that surprises everyone: NY no-fault leaves motorcyclists out. No PIP for your own medical bills or lost wages after a crash. Want to know how you are actually covered? Mary Ellen O'Connor, O'Connor Law, 914-595-4502. #RideNationNY #KnowYourRights #MotorcycleSafety

Fill in the blank: My winter layup ends the day _____. #RideNationNY #NYRiders #BikerLife

Free to enter, riders 18 and up, drawn December 10. Two minutes and you are in. Entry link in the comments. #RideNationNY #FreeToEnter #NYRiders

The run up to Bear Mountain and back over the bridge is the classic metro escape. Twenty minutes past the Palisades and the city is gone. #RideNationNY #BearMountain #HudsonValley

Helmets have a shelf life. Most makers say swap it around 5 years, sooner if the liner is packing out or the straps are fraying. #RideNationNY #GearUp #ATGATT

Caption this: your bike under the first snow of the season. Best line wins. #RideNationNY #TwoWheels #BikerLife

Ride Nation NY, tag a riding buddy who needs a new bike. One of you could walk away with $20,000 from BikersWin. Link in comments. #RideNationNY #BikersWin #NYCMotorcycles

Palisades Interstate Parkway northbound early is a gift. Smooth pavement, river on your right, barely a truck in sight before the coffee crowd wakes up. #RideNationNY #Palisades #NYRiders

That jacket is only armor if it has armor. Look for CE-rated pads at the shoulders, elbows, and back, not just foam pretending to be protection. #RideNationNY #ATGATT #GearUp

Because NY no-fault skips motorcyclists, your own health coverage does the heavy lifting after a wreck. Check it before you need it. Questions about your protection? Mary Ellen O'Connor and O'Connor Law, 914-595-4502. #RideNationNY #RiderSafety #KnowYourRights

Poll: heated grips or just tough it out? Drop your vote. #RideNationNY #NYRiders #TwoWheels

Why not you? Somebody wins the $20,000 BikersWin giveaway on December 10. Might as well be a New York rider. Entry link in the comments. #RideNationNY #20kGiveaway #NYRiders

Cold Spring makes a perfect turnaround. Park by the river, grab lunch, watch the trains, then point it back down 9D. #RideNationNY #HudsonValley #MotorcycleRoads

A back protector is the cheapest insurance you'll ever buy. Slide a CE Level 2 insert into that empty jacket pocket before your next ride. #RideNationNY #ATGATT #RiderTips

New York only makes the other driver carry 25/50/10 liability. In a serious metro crash that limit runs out fast. Wondering what is left for you? O'Connor Law, no cost to talk. 914-595-4502. #RideNationNY #UninsuredMotorist #NYRiders

Bear Mountain loop or a Hudson Valley backroad crawl? Tell us your pick. #RideNationNY #HudsonValley #TwoWheels

Beacon on a Sunday is worth the ride. Main Street coffee, the mountain behind you, and 9D waiting for the way home. #RideNationNY #HudsonValley #NYRiders

Gloves are not optional in a get-off. Your hands go out first every time, so ride with full-finger gloves that have real palm and knuckle protection. #RideNationNY #GearUp #ATGATT

The city is full of minimum-limit and uninsured drivers, so UM and SUM are your real backstop, not a nice-to-have. Add them and check the number. Hurt on two wheels? Mary Ellen O'Connor, O'Connor Law, 914-595-4502. #RideNationNY #UninsuredMotorist #MotorcycleSafety

Name the road you dream about all winter. Go. #RideNationNY #NYRiders #RideOrDie

The BikersWin giveaway costs you nothing but two minutes. $20,000 toward the bike of your choice. Drawn December 10. Link in comments. #RideNationNY #FreeToEnter #BikersWin

The Taconic is a beautiful road and a serious one. Long clean sweepers, but the pavement changes on you and the county lines show it. Read it, do not trust it. #RideNationNY #HudsonValley #MotorcycleRoads

Winter gloves are a whole different animal. Insulated, windproof, and long enough to seal under your jacket cuff so the cold air stops sneaking in. #RideNationNY #ColdWeatherRiding #GearUp

Hit-and-runs happen in NYC traffic. If the driver vanishes, your own uninsured motorist coverage is what stands in for them. Not sure you carry enough? O'Connor Law, free to talk. 914-595-4502. #RideNationNY #UninsuredMotorist #NYRiders

Tag the rider who taught you to counter-steer. They earned it. #RideNationNY #RideOrDie #TwoWheels

Countdown is on. December 10 the BikersWin winner takes home $20,000. Are you entered yet? Entry link in the comments. #RideNationNY #20kGiveaway #NYCMotorcycles

Deer own the Taconic at dusk. If you are riding it as the light drops, back off and cover the brake through the tree lines. #RideNationNY #HudsonValley #NYRiders

Cold hands mean slow hands on the levers. Heated grips or heated gloves keep your fingers working when a NY morning drops into the 30s. #RideNationNY #ColdWeatherRiding #RiderTips

New York runs on pure comparative negligence. Your recovery is reduced by your share of fault, but it is never fully barred. Questions after a crash? Mary Ellen O'Connor and O'Connor Law, 914-595-4502. #RideNationNY #NewYorkLaw #KnowYourRights

This or that: espresso before the ride or after. There is a wrong answer. #RideNationNY #BikerLife #NYRiders

Riders 18 and up, this one is free and the prize is real. $20,000 toward any motorcycle. Link in comments. Questions after a wreck? O'Connor Law, 914-595-4502. #RideNationNY #BikersWin #NYRiders

The Bear Mountain Bridge deck is fun and treacherous. Metal grating gets slick in the damp, so relax your grip and roll straight across. #RideNationNY #BearMountain #HudsonValley

Heated gear is the trick to stretching your NY season. A heated vest keeps your core warm so your body stops stealing heat from your hands and feet. #RideNationNY #ColdWeatherRiding #GearUp

Finish it: You know it is garage season in NY when _____. #RideNationNY #NYCMotorcycles #BikerLife

Picture the bike you have been eyeing all year. Now picture $20,000 to make it yours. That is the BikersWin giveaway. Entry link in the comments. #RideNationNY #MotorcycleGiveaway #WinABike

City Island is the shortest getaway in the Bronx. Cross the little bridge, cruise the strip, and it feels like a different coast. #RideNationNY #NYCMotorcycles #NYRiders

Layer smart for a real New York winter. Wicking base layer, insulating mid layer, windproof shell. Cotton under your jacket just holds sweat and chills you out. #RideNationNY #ColdWeatherRiding #RiderTips

New York law is simple here: every rider and passenger must wear a DOT-approved helmet. It is the law and it saves lives. Questions after a crash? Mary Ellen O'Connor, O'Connor Law, 914-595-4502. #RideNationNY #MotorcycleSafety #ATGATT

Favorite bridge to cross on two wheels. One only. #RideNationNY #NYCMotorcycles #NYRiders

Tag two friends from the crew. If one of them wins the $20,000 BikersWin giveaway you are getting a ride out of it. Link in comments. #RideNationNY #20kGiveaway #NYCMotorcycles

Garage season is here. If she is going to sit until March, top off the tank, get her on a tender, and keep the tires off the cold floor. #RideNationNY #NYRiders

A good base layer beats one bulky sweatshirt. Thin merino or synthetic traps heat without turning you into a marshmallow on the bike. #RideNationNY #ColdWeatherRiding #GearUp

Carrying a passenger in NY? They need a DOT helmet too, every ride, no exceptions. Gear up before you roll out. Hurt in a crash? O'Connor Law, free to talk. 914-595-4502. #RideNationNY #RiderSafety #ATGATT

Caption this: five layers, one cold morning, zero regrets. #RideNationNY #TwoWheels #BikerLife

Free. Riders 18 and up. Drawn December 10. There is no catch, just a link in the comments and a shot at $20,000. #RideNationNY #FreeToEnter #BikersWin

One dry cold day in January is a gift, not a dare. Ride it slow, watch every shaded overpass, and be home before the sun drops. #RideNationNY #NYRiders

City traffic is camera-dense and driver-distracted. A hi-viz layer or reflective vest buys you the split second a cager needs to actually see you. #RideNationNY #GearUp #NYRiders

New York gives you three years to file an injury claim, but do not let that fool you. Evidence fades fast, so the sooner you get advice the better. Mary Ellen O'Connor and O'Connor Law, 914-595-4502. #RideNationNY #KnowYourRights #NYRiders

One winner. One bike. $20,000. Somebody in this community could be it. Entry link in the comments. Questions after a wreck? O'Connor Law, 914-595-4502. #RideNationNY #MotorcycleGiveaway #NYRiders

Salt and brine on the metro bridges eat chrome and brakes alike. If you sneak a winter ride, hose her down warm the second you are back. #RideNationNY #NYCMotorcycles

Reflective tape on your helmet and panniers costs a few bucks and lights you up under every set of headlights in the metro. #RideNationNY #RiderTips #NYRiders

Crash involving the MTA, a bus, or the City? A much shorter Notice of Claim clock, roughly 90 days, can apply. Miss it and your case can be gone. Ask early. O'Connor Law, no cost to talk. 914-595-4502. #RideNationNY #NewYorkLaw #KnowYourRights

Tag your winter wrenching buddy. Garage season needs a co-pilot. #RideNationNY #BikerLife #RideOrDie

The clock is ticking toward December 10. Every day you wait is a day you are not entered in the $20,000 BikersWin giveaway. Link in comments. #RideNationNY #20kGiveaway #NYCMotorcycles

Black ice lives on the overpasses first. The Cross Bronx, the Deegan, the Hutch ramps freeze while the flat roads still look fine. #RideNationNY #NYRiders #NYCMotorcycles

ATGATT is not gatekeeping, it's just math. Every ride, all the gear, because the crash you don't plan for is the one that finds you. #RideNationNY #ATGATT #BikerLife

Public entity involved in your NY crash means special rules and a tight deadline, often about 90 days for the Notice of Claim. Do not wait to ask. Mary Ellen O'Connor, O'Connor Law, 914-595-4502. #RideNationNY #NewYorkLaw #NYRiders

This or that: cruiser rumble or sportbike scream. Pick your sound. #RideNationNY #TwoWheels #NYRiders

December plan: no plan. Clean the bike, sort the gear, and start mapping the Bear Mountain run you will make the first warm Saturday of spring. #RideNationNY #BearMountain #NYRiders

Sneakers give out the second your foot twists under a bike. Over-the-ankle boots with a real sole keep your feet where they belong. #RideNationNY #GearUp #ATGATT

What is the one mod you are planning during layup? Spill it. #RideNationNY #BikerLife #NYCMotorcycles

Ride Nation NY, this is your friendly reminder that the BikersWin giveaway is free and you are not entered yet. Fix that. Link in comments. #RideNationNY #FreeToEnter #NYRiders

Potholes are the real winter enemy down here. Freeze and thaw chews the FDR and the BQE into a minefield by February. Pick your line early. #RideNationNY #NYCMotorcycles

Waterproof boots earn their keep in a NY fall. Wet feet at 40 degrees end a ride fast, and there's no warming them back up on the road. #RideNationNY #ColdWeatherRiding #GearUp

Filtering forward at a red light feels efficient, but it is not legal in New York either. Hold your lane and stay clean. Hurt in a crash? Mary Ellen O'Connor and O'Connor Law, 914-595-4502. #RideNationNY #MotorcycleSafety #KnowYourRights

Fill in the blank: The Palisades hit different when _____. #RideNationNY #HudsonValley #TwoWheels

Two minutes now, a shot at $20,000 on December 10. That math works for any rider. Entry link in the comments. #RideNationNY #MotorcycleGiveaway #20kGiveaway

Steel plates are everywhere in the city and they are worse wet. Cross them upright and straight, no lean, no brake. #RideNationNY #NYCMotorcycles #NYRiders

Check your tire date codes. That four-digit DOT stamp tells you the week and year, and rubber older than 5 or 6 years is hard and sketchy no matter the tread. #RideNationNY #MotorcycleMaintenance #RiderTips

City survival tip: watch the taxis. A left-turning cab that never sees you is one of the most common ways riders go down in the metro. Stay wide, stay ready. Crash questions? O'Connor Law, 914-595-4502. #RideNationNY #RiderSafety #NYRiders

Tag a Long Island rider who needs a warm-weather countdown. #RideNationNY #LongIsland #NYRiders

Tread test is quick: if the wear bars are flush with the surface, you're done. Bald tires and wet city streets are a bad combination. #RideNationNY #MotorcycleMaintenance #RiderTips

For-hire cars stop and turn on a dime in NYC traffic. Assume they do not see you and leave yourself an out. Hurt on two wheels? Mary Ellen O'Connor, O'Connor Law, no cost to talk. 914-595-4502. #RideNationNY #MotorcycleSafety #NYRiders

The Cross Bronx is not a scenic route, it is a survival route. Ride it awake, leave a gap, and never park yourself in a blind spot. #RideNationNY #NYCMotorcycles #NYRiders

Cold air drops your tire pressure fast. Check it on a cold morning, set it to spec, and do it weekly once the temps fall. #RideNationNY #ColdWeatherRiding #MotorcycleMaintenance

Delivery mopeds and e-bikes come from everywhere in the city, often against traffic. Keep your head up at every intersection. Questions after a crash? O'Connor Law, free to talk. 914-595-4502. #RideNationNY #RiderSafety #MotorcycleSafety

Delivery mopeds and e-bikes swap directions on a dime in Manhattan. Downtown, assume the lane can fill from anywhere and cover your brakes. #RideNationNY #NYCMotorcycles #NYRiders

Cold tires have less grip until they warm up. Take the first few miles easy on a chilly NY morning before you lean on them. #RideNationNY #ColdWeatherRiding #RiderTips

Steel plates and potholes are their own hazard on NYC streets, especially in the wet. Scan the surface, not just the traffic. Went down and hurt? Mary Ellen O'Connor and O'Connor Law, 914-595-4502. #RideNationNY #RiderSafety #NYRiders

Taxi left turns are the classic city ambush. When you see a gap they see it too, so slow into the intersection and make eye contact. #RideNationNY #NYCMotorcycles

Winter battery tip: a 30 dollar tender beats a dead battery in April. Plug it in before the first hard freeze and forget about it. #RideNationNY #MotorcycleMaintenance #ColdWeatherRiding

Cold kills weak batteries. If yours cranked slow in the fall, it won't survive storage, so test it or replace it before you tuck the bike away. #RideNationNY #MotorcycleMaintenance #RiderTips

Ride your own ride. Not the pace of the guy next to you, not the light you can almost make. Home in one piece beats everything. Hurt anyway? Mary Ellen O'Connor, O'Connor Law, 914-595-4502. #RideNationNY #RiderSafety #NYRiders

The Saw Mill is tight, old, and unforgiving. Short ramps and stone walls, so treat it with respect and keep your speed honest. #RideNationNY #Westchester #NYRiders

Brake fluid absorbs water over time and gets mushy at the lever. If you can't remember the last flush, it's overdue. #RideNationNY #MotorcycleMaintenance #RiderTips

One more time because it matters: NY no-fault does not pay a motorcyclist's own medical bills. Strong health coverage plus SUM is how you fill that hole. Questions? O'Connor Law, free to talk. 914-595-4502. #RideNationNY #NewYorkLaw #UninsuredMotorist

Final countdown, Ride Nation NY. Tomorrow the BikersWin winner takes $20,000. Get your entry in tonight, link in comments. #RideNationNY #20kGiveaway #BikersWin

The Hutch has charm and cracks in equal measure. Lovely under the trees until a frost heave finds you, so keep your eyes down the road. #RideNationNY #Westchester #NYRiders

Squeeze the front lever before every ride. Firm and consistent is good, spongy or sinking means air or old fluid you need to sort out. #RideNationNY #MotorcycleMaintenance #RiderTips

SUM coverage stacks on top when the at-fault driver's tiny 25/50/10 limit is not enough. In a bad metro crash, that difference is everything. Not sure you have it? Mary Ellen O'Connor and O'Connor Law, 914-595-4502. #RideNationNY #UninsuredMotorist #NYRiders

The LIE is a slog until it opens up east. Once you are past the cones, Long Island rewards patience with room to breathe. #RideNationNY #LongIsland #NYRiders

Chain care is 5 minutes that saves a driveline. Clean it, lube it, and set the slack to spec, especially before a cold ride when everything stiffens up. #RideNationNY #MotorcycleMaintenance #RiderTips

In New York your share of fault lowers your recovery but never wipes it out. So the details, the photos, the witnesses, still count. Talk it through with O'Connor Law, no cost. 914-595-4502. #RideNationNY #KnowYourRights #NewYorkLaw

Poll: gear up head to toe or "it is a short ride" energy? #RideNationNY #TwoWheels #NYRiders

Winner drawn. Huge congrats to the rider taking home $20,000 from the BikersWin giveaway. Did not get it this time? Stay tuned, the next one is coming. #RideNationNY #MotorcycleGiveaway #BikersWin

Long Island run: point it east, chase the shoreline, and let the traffic thin out mile by mile. Best after the summer crowds go home. #RideNationNY #LongIsland #MotorcycleRoads

A dry, rusty chain robs power and wears sprockets fast. Warm it with a short ride, then lube it so the oil actually works into the links. #RideNationNY #MotorcycleMaintenance #BikerLife

That DOT sticker is not a suggestion in New York, it is the law for every rider and passenger. It also protects your claim later. Hurt in a crash? Mary Ellen O'Connor, O'Connor Law, 914-595-4502. #RideNationNY #MotorcycleSafety #ATGATT

Drop the mileage on your ride. Round number, no shame. #RideNationNY #BikerLife #NYCMotorcycles

Weeknight bike night is what gets us through the shoulder season. Park up, talk shop, and roll home before the temperature drops. #RideNationNY #NYRiders #NYCMotorcycles

NY roads run salt and brine all winter, and both eat metal. If you ride in it, hose the bike down afterward and hit the hidden spots. #RideNationNY #ColdWeatherRiding #MotorcycleMaintenance

This or that: Bear Mountain in fall color or spring green. Choose. #RideNationNY #HudsonValley #TwoWheels

Missed this round? No stress. There is always another shot coming for Ride Nation NY. Stay entered, stay ready. Questions after a wreck? O'Connor Law, 914-595-4502. #RideNationNY #BikersWin #NYCMotorcycles

Nothing beats a lot full of bikes on a warm Thursday. New faces, old builds, and somebody always knows a new road. Come out and swap notes. #RideNationNY #NYRiders

Brine is sneaky. It clings to your frame, fasteners, and connectors long after the road looks dry, so a quick rinse after a salty ride is not optional. #RideNationNY #ColdWeatherRiding #MotorcycleMaintenance

Uninsured driver, no plates, or a phantom car that ran you off the road? Your UM coverage is the backstop that pays when no one else will. Questions? Mary Ellen O'Connor and O'Connor Law, 914-595-4502. #RideNationNY #UninsuredMotorist #RiderSafety

First group ride of spring always meets at Bear Mountain. When the calendar turns, watch this space and clear that Saturday. #RideNationNY #BearMountain #HudsonValley

Foggy visor season is here. A pinlock insert or an anti-fog coating keeps your view clear when you stop at every NYC light. #RideNationNY #ColdWeatherRiding #RiderTips

After any crash, documentation is your friend in New York. Photos of the scene, the plates, and your injuries all shape a comparative-fault case. Not sure what to save? O'Connor Law, no cost to talk. 914-595-4502. #RideNationNY #KnowYourRights #NYRiders

Tag a Westchester rider who knows every good curve up north. #RideNationNY #Westchester #TwoWheels

The giveaway may be drawn but the riding season rolls on. Keep your eyes here for the next chance to win big. #RideNationNY #20kGiveaway #NYRiders

Bridges and tunnels are their own skill in the metro. Expansion joints, grated decks, and stop-and-go, so smooth inputs win every time. #RideNationNY #NYCMotorcycles #NYRiders

Cheap fog fix: crack your visor at the bottom for airflow, and never breathe straight up into it while you're stopped. #RideNationNY #RiderTips #ColdWeatherRiding

Intersections are where NYC riders get hurt most, usually a left-turning car cutting the gap. Cover your brakes and make eye contact. Went down? Mary Ellen O'Connor, O'Connor Law, 914-595-4502. #RideNationNY #RiderSafety #MotorcycleSafety

Congrats again to our winner. If you were not entered, let that be the nudge. The next free giveaway will not wait for you. #RideNationNY #FreeToEnter #BikersWin

The Major Deegan at rush hour is a lane-splitting temptation you skip in New York. Hold your space, ride the buffer, and let the gaps come to you. #RideNationNY #NYCMotorcycles

Storing the bike for winter? Add fuel stabilizer, then run it a few minutes so the treated gas reaches the whole system before it sits. #RideNationNY #MotorcycleMaintenance #ColdWeatherRiding

Route 9W along the river is the underrated Palisades cruise. Overlooks the whole way and an easy pace back to the bridge. #RideNationNY #Palisades #HudsonValley

Storage checklist: full tank with stabilizer, battery on a tender, tires off cold concrete, and a breathable cover. Spring you will thank winter you. #RideNationNY #MotorcycleMaintenance #ColdWeatherRiding

Wet steel plates, seams, and potholes turn a normal NYC street into a trap. Ease off the throttle and pick a clean line. Went down and injured? Mary Ellen O'Connor and O'Connor Law, 914-595-4502. #RideNationNY #MotorcycleSafety #RiderSafety

Poll: solo dawn ride or a big group roll-out? Which are you? #RideNationNY #TwoWheels #NYRiders

What would you ride this spring with a fresh set of wheels? Dream it now, because more giveaways are coming. Questions after a wreck? O'Connor Law, 914-595-4502. #RideNationNY #WinABike #NYRiders

Fall is the best riding we get all year. Cool air, dry roads, and the Hudson Valley lit up. Ride every clear day before the garage claims her. #RideNationNY #HudsonValley #NYRiders

Don't start a stored bike once a month and let it idle. A short idle just dumps moisture into the oil. Either ride it or leave it properly prepped. #RideNationNY #MotorcycleMaintenance #RiderTips

Name your dream Long Island coast run for the spring. #RideNationNY #LongIsland #BikerLife

Stay entered, stay ready. The riders who win are the ones who show up every round. More chances coming to Ride Nation NY. #RideNationNY #20kGiveaway #BikersWin

Leaves look great and hide everything. Wet foliage on the Taconic and 9D is slick as ice, so ease off through the shaded bends. #RideNationNY #HudsonValley #NYRiders

New iron shopping this off-season? Sit on everything. Reach to the bars, feet flat at a stop, and a seat height that fits real NY traffic. #RideNationNY #NewIron #NYRiders

Riders keep learning this the hard way: NY no-fault will not cover your bills after a bike crash. Line up SUM and health coverage now, before you need them. Mary Ellen O'Connor, O'Connor Law, 914-595-4502. #RideNationNY #NewYorkLaw #UninsuredMotorist

This or that: new gear or new tires with the same money. Pick. #RideNationNY #BikerLife #TwoWheels

Winter miles, big dreams. One rider already won $20,000 and the next opportunity is closer than you think. Keep watching this space. #RideNationNY #MotorcycleGiveaway #NYCMotorcycles

Storm King, Bear Mountain, Seven Lakes, and home over the bridge. That loop is the reason we put up with the winters down here. #RideNationNY #HudsonValley #BearMountain

New bike, new brain. Fresh tires need a heat cycle to scrub in, and every clutch and brake feels different, so ease into that first tank. #RideNationNY #NewIron #RiderTips

Ride safe out there this season, and keep it locked to Ride Nation NY for the next giveaway. Questions after a wreck? O'Connor Law, 914-595-4502. #RideNationNY #FreeToEnter #NYRiders

When the salt finally washes off the bridges and the overpasses dry out, you will know. Have the bike ready so spring does not start without you. #RideNationNY #NYRiders #NYCMotorcycles

Off-season is upgrade season. Better tires, fresh brake pads, and a good set of heated gloves do more for your riding than any chrome ever will. #RideNationNY #NewIron #GearUp

Know the law, ride your own ride, and gear up every time. That combination keeps more NY riders on two wheels than luck ever will. If a crash still finds you, Mary Ellen O'Connor and O'Connor Law are no cost to talk. 914-595-4502. #RideNationNY #RiderSafety #KnowYourRights
