You see, this is the genius of blogs. It's high time that more was known about Ron Mael's time as an amateur racer before he set up the band Sparks with his brother Russell. http://tinyurl.com/mz9g9t
In fact, the band took its moniker from Ron's racing nickname. While dicing with opponents, he was fond of reaching into a small pigskin pouch attached to his midriff and casting behind him handfuls of Scoggins' Lightning Crystals, which would erupt in off-putting burts of bright-white fire. By 1932 he was banned by all major racing authorities and never rode again.
THIS IS THE BLOG OF SIDEBURN MAGAZINE. IF YOU LIKE IT, MAYBE YOU SHOULD BUY A COPY.
Sideburn is a magazine made every few months by Gary Inman, Ben Part and some of the best freelancers in motorcycling. It's a dirty bike lifestyle magazine inspired by oval motorcycle racing, and covers flat track racing, speedway and the road bikes loosely inspired by the racers plus the heroes and zeroes we love.
