Dirt Quake Ladies Final


There's quite a bit before and after that you can skip through, but this is a good onboard taste of the 2016's Dirt Quake Davida Helmets Ladies final shot by first time racer Katrina James. If you don't skip through it, it's an example of exactly what it's like to compete in a six-lap amateur flat track race from leaving the pits to getting back in one piece.

'Hurricane' Katrina takes a brave, wide line on her Kawasaki ZXR400 (not the ideal dirt tracker, but totally proves Dirt Quake's ethos).

Up ahead is Vikki from the Bike Shed with Kiki coming up strong on El Solitario's Zaeta. Watching this makes me think, Who wouldn't want to compete in Dirt Quake? It reminds me why entries sold out in a week.

The top three in the Ladies class are being awarded special Davida DQV Classic Jet helmets. Like all Davida helmets, they're made in England and hand painted in the Birkenhead factory by the company's staff. These special editions use elements of Lennard Schuurman's Dirt Quake poster. Davida do things properly. G

Dirt Quake V Merch

 
This Dirt Quake V event merch is so good we're even giving the infidels who can't make it to King's Lynn next week the opportunity to get hold of some.

All the designs are elements of the wonderful event poster made by Lennard Schuurmans, the Dutch master. He could well be my all-time favrouite moto illustrator, and I see him as the new Richard Scarry. I'd love to see his version of What Do People Do All Day or Lennard's A to Z.

We have two adult T-shirt designs, one kids T-shirt and a super sticker pack.

Go to sideburn.bigcartel.com to order yours

Dirt Quake V - DATE CHANGE

Due to reasons beyond our control we have to change the date of Dirt Quake. The original date was 8-9 July. It is now

15-16 July

It's still at the Adrian Flux Arena, King's Lynn. Very sorry if this causes any grief for people, but there was nothing we could do to make the original date work because of change in circumstances at the track. Fortunately they found us another date in their packed summer schedule.

The superb poster for this year's event was created by the Dutch master, long-time friend of Sideburn and a Dirt Quake racer himself, Mr Lennard Schuurmans.

Tickets will go on sale in February. Race entries open in late-April. Keep an eye on the blog for details.

We're delighted to say Bikesure, motorcycle insurance specialists, have come back on board as the title sponsor and we have a new sponsor, Motone - a supplier of machine bolt-on parts for custom, street tracker or cafe racer.
Harley-Davidson Europe have come on board as a sponsor
W&W Cycles are returning again
Bike Shed MC are our media sponsor

If you'd like to sponsor Dirt Quake, please email me at dirt@sideburnmagazine.com for details.  G

Rusty Gold Motorshop

Announcing another great shop stocking Sideburn, this time in the Netherlands. Zoran was/is involved with the Rusty Gold Swap Meet and set this shop up earlier in the year. He has some great, still hard to find brands like Eat Dust, Edwin, Roland Sands, Iron and Resin, Biltwell, Wrenchmonkees, Barn Fresh...
This is what Zoran (below) says:

Rusty Gold MotorShop is Amsterdam's first vintage/custom/urban motorcycle lifestyle hotspot. A combination of exclusive 'moto culture' related clothing and accessories on the one side and a coffeeshop/hang out on the other. 

Here you can touch everything, try on whatever you like and even enjoy a strong ass espresso while you're at it. But to also service you when you can't make it to the store, we launched this Webshop. It carries (almost) the complete selection and stuff bought online can also be exchanged in the 'offline store'.

Dirt Quake IV - More Belgians!


These fellas came all the way from Switzerland Belgium for Dirt Quake IV and had a blast in the Inappropriate Road Bike class on their Royal Enfields and Honda Africa Twin Transalp.
I think Lenny Bubble Visor's crash is caught on Stuffed Monkey-Vision. G

Update: No idea why I thought Switzerland.

The Black Arrow on Bubble Visor

Lenny at Bubble Visor sent me some questions to go with some photos of my Suzuki street bike project, the Black Arrow, taken at Racefit last summer. You can see more photos and read the Q&A at Bubble Visor.
Massive thanks to Mat for these photos. They were taken a few months ago and the bike is now a runner with a custom wiring loom, chain, the whole lot! G
