Proper attire


Ask any junkie, "one hit is never enough."
Hence after a 'quickie' at No Future Krew, 3 hours 20 minutes later I'm in a cold sweat, kicking down the door of my Amsterdam junkie pal Bubble Visor to sort me out with another jab. This time we're on So So's

SIDEBURN à Paris




The Rocker Speed Shop in Paris (France not Texas) is now stocking SB magazine. They are also the place to go for bomb-proof Scottish made Aero leathers, Redwing boots, Glory shirts, vintage Levis, and snazzy French Ruby helmets.

Naboo


The bike is off-topic (not so far), but the look is ON - well at least in a festive Christmas panto', Mighty Boosh, kinda way. Beer-mat turban (or pure silk for the more dandy of you), Top Man shirt buttoned to the top, cummerbund, and 80s drain-pipes tucked into engineers boots. We dare you to turn up to your local looking like this.

Or Glory



The off-topic Yann DeBelle de Montby post seemed to go down well, so here's another cufflink related piece. These are my all-time favourites. The skull insignia is from the Queen's Royal Lancers. The QRL, I think I'm right in saying, used to be the Light Brigade, from the Charge of the Light Brigade.
Screw your nazi insignia when the Queen's own force has skull and crossbone badges.

Yann Debelle de Montby

Yann Debelle de Montby

Gary Rancho Cucamonga de Spalding

Bit off-topic (as the fellas at Church of Choppers say), but I (Gary) am a sucker for expensive British shoes and stuff. dunhill have been making great stuff for over 100 years. I was surfing around, dreaming of dunhill Headlamp cufflinks when I saw this waffle on a site relating to the classic British gentlemen's outfitters.. The fella in question, Yann D de M, is their creative director or something. It says...

‘Yann Debelle de Montby spends much of his time travelling the globe visiting Dunhill stores across the world, including Beijing, Tokyo, New York and across Europe, looking for inspiration for the brand while promoting it’s quintessentially English image. He recently returned from the Altai Mountains in Mongolia spending a week riding from Yurt to Yurt looking for exceptional cashmere and putting together a team of ‘Rare Wool Hunters’ in Mongolia. This led to the launch of a cashmere range, which arrived in the stores this Autumn.'

It is so ridiculous, I sent it to Sideburn Ben who came up with this.

Gary Rancho Cucamonga de Spalding spends much of his time traveling the A16, including the Peterborough bypass; sometimes further, even as far as London, visiting bike shops, old speedway ovals, looking for inspiration for the SIDEBURN brand while promoting it's quintessentially Red Neck heritage. He recently returned from the Happy Eater on the A151, where he found the days copy of The Sun newspaper in the toilets. This led to the launch of a chest warming range, which will end up in his own dustbin before he steps in doors.
