Sideburn Award Verona

We were honored to be asked to nominate a 'Sideburn Award' for the bike of our choice out of the zillion on show at this years Verona Motorbike Expo. Choosing a top 10 was fairly easy, but it was a close shave to the wining post. Danny Hard 9's sparkly Cub pipped it - now featured in SB#10Danny on the podium, uneasy at being the denim filling in a tweed sandwich. Photo from Freeway magazine. BP

Second Swiss Cub

Following on from his 'Bird Reynolds' Triumph Tiger Cub we featured in Sideburn #8, Danny Hard9 has now had another Cub. As intrigued as we were by the last story, we thought we better put our best dick on it, and so sent Special Agent Arnold on a chilly Euro road trip, to Bern in Switzerland, to get the inside story. It certainly was a journey of enlightenment - if well over budget. You'll just have to wait for SB#10 to read it. BP

Cub

There were countless classy bikes at Verona earlier this year - and plenty of gash ones. But Danny Hard 9's baby Triumph was a pleasant surprise. We pushed the bike through the heaving masses to the prison yard-like parking lot outside. Glaring neon blue sky, glaring sparkly blue metalflake, and a shiny bald head. Some photos just make themselves. Get the full story in Sideburn 8. BP

SB Project Bike Question of Cubes

Bubble Visor [far right; cowboy hat and full-face] our Amsterdam connection concerning all things Japanese and colourful, sent us a query about our project bike...
Hi Ben,
i saw on SideBlog you bought a FT500, cool! i did some research on the bike and i found out it has a twin brother.. the VT500 Ascot [shown above]. is there a reason why you went for the single cylinder, instead of the twin with more power...? Styling-wise there doesn't seem to be a lot of difference between the two [standard bikes]. The FT would be a little lighter which would make some sense :)
cheers Lenny

Dear Mr Bubble,
the FT passed under our balcony like a maiden in the night, and we couldn't resist her charms. Basically. BP.
