Are You A Real Biker? Welcome to October's edition of Customarily Minded. Cooler weather is upon us now that summer is over, and many motorcyclists are out on the road either enjoying said cooler weather or logging their final miles of the year before putting their rides into hibernation for winter.

Reality TV and the Chopper Craze
Paul Teutul Sr. was quoted in an interview earlier this year saying "I think that the motorcycle industry peaked, and now I think it's coming back down. It's just like any other trend, everybody floods the market and everybody comes out of the woodwork" and "I see the trend going back to the earlier choppers, like the ‘70s-style choppers. Those... -

The Swing Americans young and old are rediscovering one of the greatest pastimes: no, not motorcycling...I'm talking about swinging. There are more swings in today's parks than any other recreational item, so it's little wonder why they are attracting so many swingers. Here's an in-depth look at the various types of swings.

PART 5 of 8 - Maximizing the Minimal: VLX-Max September 2000 --- Nearly a year has passed since I brought home a clunker and I had visions galore as to how it should look once running. Visions I had already applied, some yet to be realized, but I was getting antsy to say the least. Yet the beast was a long ways from road readiness. Enter the coworker looking for a bike. Aft... -

The King Takes a Mighty Fall
July 23, 2008 copyright owned by author Welcome to Customarily Minded, an editorial I've all but ignored in the past couple of years in favor of work, paying bills, screwing around online, and getting in that occassional ride. Yes it's true...this article is two years to the datye from my last submission. I've been ranting about Honda's less than stellar marketing campaign for quite some time, and no...that's not the reason I've been neglecting this column. Some folks here have gone so far a... -

Welcome to this installment of Customarily Minded, I am now halfway into my commitment of belting out eight editorials within a ten week span. And if you're keeping track, I fell behind a tad...six weeks in and four more to go. What can I say, we still have plenty of nice riding weather down here in the sun belt!

PART 3 of 8: Waking Up After the Dream October 1999 --- Bike #3 arrives home, replacing Bike #2 which was traded straight up title for title for the new acquisition. Or traded DOWN according to the dealership, it was a 1995 1500 Vulcan that I had for a year and swapped out for a 1995 VT600 Shadow VLX Deluxe. She came home fairly equipped in the way of goodies: "Live to Ride/Rid... -

A Decade of Decadence --- the Life and Times of Shadow Shack's Multitude of Motorcycles
PART 2 of 8 Late summer, 1998. I had just turned 30, she was 45...a recent widower with a fair inheritance. You know, a sugar mama. Why be biased? Young gals have sugar daddies, so there's no shame in putting the shoe on the other foot for a change...right? She wanted to buy me s... -

A Decade of Decadence --- the Life and Times of Shadow Shack's Multitude of Motorcycles Welcome to this installment of Customarily Minded, where stock bikes might be cool but customizing them is what makes me drool. I'm creeping towards the three year mark here at BB.org (as is the rest of the website, I joined shortly after the launch) so I'm going to run a series that should brin... -
