Minded: Don't Forget Your Roots
by
Richard
Rose
I
must be suffering from heat stroke, every chime I write comes
up as a rhyme, either that or I'm a poet and don't even know
it! Okay, rest assured I won't give up my day job and try
my hand as a hip-hop artist. Instead, let me wipe my brow
and fasten my DOT approved dunce cap on and take a look at
a topic some folks easily forget, namely what it was like
to be a beginning biker. Click here

We
Still Need Your Help!
While our
future here at Beginner Bikes Magazine is brighter than ever,
we still heavily rely on the help of our community, and need you
to do what you can today to pitch in.
Instead of
the frantic, last minute plea for aid that many of you may be
familiar with from our past, we're now going to host a quarterly
fund-drive every three months with hopes of meeting our financial
obligations for that period. |

Our needs
from now until the end of the year, including hosting costs, office
supplies, patches, legal expenses, long distance phone service
and wages total $6,106.00 and apart from the small amount that
we receive from our Affiliate
Partner programs and merchandise
sales, we rely solely on the help of our community
to meet these expenses. Please click here
today for a number of donation options, and do what you can to
help spread the Beginner Bikes Magazine word. |

Among
many other recent additions to Beginner Bikes Magazine, we're
happy to announce our new "Tip Of The Week" section!
Dealing with a dead battery on the road can be frustrating. It
is always a good idea to keep a set of motorcycle jumper cables
when traveling far from home. If all else fails, try push starting
the bike or have it towed to the nearest service station.

| Welcome
To Beginner Bikes |
In
the pages of Beginner Bikes you'll find bike tests and articles
written with the new and returning motorcyclist in mind. We know
you don't need a top speed of 185 mph. We know you don't want
a bike that requires as many hours in the shop as on the road.
We'll help you find the most enjoyable, safest ride out there.
Beginner bikes are a blast to ride, and not only for beginners.
With their comfort, reliability, and high fun-factor, many experienced
riders prefer them to more intimidating and temperamental machines.
Finding
the right motorcycle for you is, of course, an essential ingredient
in the recipe for enjoying the ride. But this task can prove
surprisingly difficult. We've known many motorcyclists who have
lost a sizable amount of money trading in bikes that were poor
choices for them in the first place. Usually, new riders make
the mistake of buying more motorcycle than they can handle--often
as a result of a persuasive salesperson or magazine article.
It's important to understand that--despite what some salespersons
or magazines might say or imply--you'll have the most fun, and
the most confident, comfortable and safest ride, on a bike built
with the needs of beginners in mind. You can always move up
to a larger, more powerful bike.
Enough
editorializing--where are the bikes?
