Another goodie from Adi Gilbert.

Motor Bike Expo - thirsty work

The packing for Verona took less time than I'd anticipated. See you at the Motor Bike Expo at the weekend. We'll be on Mr Martini's stand. MP

Tomorrow

Don't forget, the Classic Off-Road Bike Show and jumble at Kempton. Sideburn has a stand in the main hall along with Red Max Speed Shop, Dirt Track Riders Association (the new organisers of racing in the UK) and Co-Built. We'll have T-shirts, sweatshirts, the Flat Track Bible.

And, for those in East Anglia, Saturnalia in Norwich. G

Racefit x Sideburn

If you're going to Motorcycle Live at the NEC, that starts on Saturday, make sure you check out the Racefit stand. They're stocking Sideburn too, so you can buy the latest issue from them. G

Classic Off Road Show, Kempton

With the new magazine and Thursday's launch at Edwin we forgot to tell you all Sideburn is having a stand at the Classic Off Road Show and Autojumble at Kempton.
It's organised by the same people who run the famous Kempton Autojumble and it's supposed to be a good do. Only £6 in and free parking. I bet there'll be some great project bikes up for grabs. Come say hello if you're going. Red Max will be there, so will Co-Buitl and the new UK Dirt Track Riders Association.
Saturday 6 December. G

Rollerburn Show Bikes

Once upon a time you'd wander into a machinist's shop and after being given a muddy mug of tea (if you were lucky), and having averted your eyes from the customary naked siren calendar, you'd start to gaze at their grubby pin-board with its mad array of photos. Bikes they had either worked on, owned, or merely dreamed of; torn from magazines. Any gem of actual information was savored. If you were really obsessive you might ask for a phone number to track down a current owner or maybe even try to find a back-issue of said magazine (if you could work out which magazine, which year, and which month it came from).
Then came the internet, and things became almost boringly easy. The spread of cross-breeding influence has spread like a sexual disease. However even with the wonders of technology, one will always spend helpless hours trawling the murky depths looking for info, and the hopeless quest for HiRes photos of a particularly special bike, whose only proof of existence is a thumbnail you found on a forum, you think, but you cant remember where.....
Imagine you could actually pour over this bike in reality.
You can. Sideburn has amassed a pant-wetting selection especially for Rollerburn. Hibrow to lowbrow; blinging to backstreet lash-up, Ridden or until now hidden, but each very very worthy. BP
