Sideburn Magazine said...: Look, you've all got it wrong. I chose it because it's ugly, because it reminds me of the 1970s and Britain. And 1970's Britain. Did I mention it was made in Britain? Yes, I love the American sport of flat track, but I want to take my American bike to the races in a British van.

Mick P said...: You plan to take your bike in the back? But I thought that space was severely limited by the six pedalling bays. I like to think Ben will be driving while Gary stands in the back aginst the bulkhead, dressed only in a beer towel loin cloth, body glistening with WD40, as he keeps the pedalling team going by beating time with a chicken leg on an empty Quality Street tin. Or have I got this all arse about face?; 9 February 2010 at 16:31
Sideburn Magazine said...: Your clarity of vision is incredible Mick,
but you forgot to mention the deep-fat fryer and other related equipment, and the stock of frozen meat products that also needs to be subtracted out of the available floor space inches equation.
