"Pipe Dreams"
reprinted from BB.com , February 2004
copyright owned by author Welcome to February's edition of Customarily Minded. Winter will be drawing near to a close so in the meantime let's warm things up with a hot topic from the customizing field: Pipes. First off you'll want to decide on slip on mufflers or a complete system. If you're just looking for a new style and a different sound, slip-on mufflers are the way to go (assuming of course it's feasible to use them on your bike, che... -

Selling Your Beginner Bike Welcome to this month's rotation of the wheels of Customarily Minded (hmm, that sounds frighteningly similar to Whizbang's column...I'll have to come up with something else next time around!). For March I'd like to deal with a topic that is a popular one for this time of the year, namely selling a used bike. Things are warming up now and folks will be getting the bike bug agai... -

The V-Twin Enigma Welcome to this month's Customarily Minded. For April we're going to look at the state of the motorcycling market and arguably its most popular engine configuration, the venerable V-Twin. Quick historical fact: While Harley Davidson is best known as the "masters of the V-Twin", it was Indian that first belted one out for production back in 1903 when Harley was just getting the... -

#!%& Idiot Drivers!!! It never fails. Every motorcycle forum I visit has one commonly repeated topic. And I have to admit that I've participated in said discussions more than once. Yes, I speak of nothing other than the infamous rants on the way everyone else drives and/or doesn't know how to drive. You've seen them, you've participated in them, and some of us can even lay claim to starting such discus... -

Chop To It 2: The Next Cut I originally intended to have this up last month, but I couldn't get it finished in time so I substituted an auxilliary article I had drummed up in the past for a rainy day. Unfortunately for that cliche, we haven't seen a drop of rain for a few months out here in triple-digits Southern Nevada, but nonetheless that deadline snuck up and hit me like a hail storm. So you ... -

Chop To It! Welcome to Customarily Minded, where the motto here is "Stock bikes can be cool, but it's the custom bikes that make me drool." This month's topic will deal with a personal favorite topic of mine, one that I've applied to two (working on three) of my bikes. Every now and then I'll get an email on this topic, asking for some information concerning it. If you haven't seen my bikes yet, and you ski... -

August is a special month for me here at Beginner Bikes, back in 2002 BB was reborn with a new look and forum, maturing from the old style tree-branch bulletin board format. Shortly after registering in the new forum, the administrator of BB asked me to join the BB Team, so this is my second anniversary as an associat... -

Bit By The Bug: Coping With The Seven Year Itch This writer's motorcycle gene was triggered in college, during which the activation of said gene was from riding a Puch moped around town, which naturally fed a yearning for something that could better keep up with city traffic. Wanting a 250 Rebel during the entire high school and college experience, I ventured ... -

This Brand vs. That... I cruise through quite a few motorcycle forums, and while nobody can ever stake a claim at having seen every one of them, I just like to keep an ear to the ground about motorcycling in general. One forum I like to drop in on from time to time is one based on the various motorcycle clubs and any/all that are interested in reading and learning a bit about this cultur... -
