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'.

Husky Street Tracker

From Piet in the Netherlands...

I got interested in Flat track racing after a demo in Eenrum (Holland). Talked there to Jan-Willem [of the Dutch Brothers] and build my own Husky flattrack racer (streetlegal) see pictures. I did a race in Zolder Belgium and went with a bought real FT racer (Jorisson/ Wood Honda) to a two-day racing event in Amman Valley. 

I crashed over there, visited the hospital and as being 53 years I tought it was better not to race again. Now I do a training once in a while. My Jorisson Wood-Honda will this year be ridden by Erwin Mulder in the Dutch Flat Track competition. 

So, I am very interested in FT racing; and if you are on the internet, you see Sideburn. I follow the side-blog already for a long periode. Never took the time the buy Sideburn magazine until last week. Do not regret it so far.
