Peaty Sheffield

Grass-roots mountain bike jumble for all you pedal heads. Heaps of muddy secondhand parts, some new stuff, a few related commercial companies, and a few oddballs like gravity maverik Baybutt (seen here at the Bristol Peaty's show last year). BP

Guess

Something else that came out of a long-stored box just recently. Go on then, what's it off? Make and model. A feeling of intense pride and achievement to the supplier of the first correct answer*. MP
*Sensations of pride and achievement may vary.

UPDATE: Bristol Classic Show and Jumble - This Weekend

Saturday 16 and Sun 17 Feb - but misleading as it's not in Bristol (once upon a time it was held in the docks), it's an hour south at the Bath and West Showground - also misleading as its 50 minutes south east of Bath in Shepton Mallet BA4 6QN. Full info here. Expect misleading scrumpy fueled scramblers. BP

If you're closer to London Sideburn's Royal Enfield is in the AMD Custom Bike Building World Championship at the MCN Show, Excel, London this weekend. Plenty of other good stuff there too, including Racefit, Kriega, Nick Sanders, Black Desert and loads of interesting custom bikes. G

Kempton Park Snaps

I Love Kempton, both the concourse oddities inside - some of which are shamefully never ridden, and the buckets of rusty shite outside. The mind spins up with fantasy projects - the ingredients for which are mostly all here.

I normally manage to come away with at least one tool I didn't know I needed, whilst forgetting what was on my essential shopping list still pinned up in my shed.
Thanks to Dave for DJing, and the new and olde faces that passed by the Sideburn stand to say hello. BP

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

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

Metal 305, Miami, Florida

Autojumble Today

Cheltenham (horse) racecourse, Evesham Road, Prestbury, Gloucestershire GL50 4SH. It's a good size motorcycle jumble. BP
