Sideburn Magazine

[suzuki27]

Got home today and the back issues of Sideburn were in the letterbox. A bit small and light but the content, for the most part, was a great trip down memory lane. If you like dedicated dirt-trackers & TT bikes then this is magic. Some of the US shots reminded that riders ran , what aussies consider oil track only tyres on "loose" dirt  . There are some beautiful action shots of great bikes and iconic riders.
There is an article called " There is no place like 'Dome' "- and it is a report from the Astrodome TT- and it got me thinking why we couldn't have a similar type event/s in Australia. Vintage friendly together  and exciting viewing. I just have to get one of those sexy Astros or Rotaxes or Yamahas or........

Just did a trip from Capetown to Vic Falls in South Africa with Gary Inman. Gary is the Journo/Publisher of Sideburn magazine. The guy is an absolute character and had me in stitches on more than one occasion.

About three hours after this photo he threw the GS1200 down the road and wrote it off..... fricken hilarious as he tore the skin of his arse cheeks almost to the bone and had to ride the rest of the trip (this was day one) with a backside that looked like a strawberry. What made it more funnier was that he wore the pants from the accident for the rest of the trip and the backside of them looked like they had been raped by a garden mulcher..

The guy is "top shelf" and was fantastic company..

Yeah read about his stack, that ride would have been brilliant, misses and I did johannesburg up to Vic falls then down to captown around 8000km in an overlander truck, would have taken some energy on a bike

Where abouts did you read about his stack?? Actually the ride was pretty easy,  those big Beema's are built for that sort of work.

I can't get over the flat track scene in Europe now, maybe it's because of the coverage Sideburn gives it but it seems to have taken off big time.  Half their luck, how cool would it be racing in a different country every month or so.
