Last flat track action in Europe this year

Looney Tunes

Spotted by Tim White at Barber a few weeks ago. Any more info anyone? BP

More FT500

From Mike in England.

Had a great time at the show, and nice to see you again. The book of Flat Track racing I bought is great too. I think Project FT looks better in the flesh than in pictures, a knackered one has just sold on ebay for 205 quid, maybe you have started something? These guys seem to think so, Move On as I found this pic on their site
Cheers
Mike

Evil Kwacker

Tuner Erv Kanemoto fettles the 2-stroke triple that Don Castro rode in 1975. The rip from those pipes on-song must have been ear bleed inducing. BPphoto Bert Shepard

"I don't know what it is, but I want some"

- The quote of the weekend from a bemused punter; 1 of 25,000, as they gawked at the Sideburn stand, and didn't really 'get' if we were a garage or a beatnik gentleman's club.
Jason's Bonneville Performance Triumph was definitely the crowd pleaser. Dave played schmozzatastic discotheque 45s all weekend on his mono Vestax - even Guy Martin's Dad was moon walking in his loafers. Good to put some faces to names, and to finally meet Princess Leia. BP

Winter Survival

Brand new Sideburn merchandise and something different from T-shirt and hoodies - a scarf. Whether you're a would-be Bay City Roller, Italian football Ultra or just someone who doesn't like having an icy draft blowing down their neck this is the absolutely non-essential purchase you've been waiting for.
Limited edition, made in England, double-sided design, 140 x 20cm (54 x 8in) 100% acrylic. £15. Buy it here.
UP DATE:
Chris Cooke came by to introduce himself at Staffs and bought a scarf. Good man! (The Corpses from Hell T Chris was wearing, was inspired by his own real life gore fest when he lost 2 1/2 fingers in a boating accident).

Traverso solo per amore

Marco and Paolo: good friends, good people and driving the Zaeta project forward. Thanks for the Zaeta scarf. G
PS. We've been tied up with the Stafford Show preparation for the last couple of days so any orders will go out on Monday.

'Ullo John! Gotta New Motor?

Madness Absolutely, 1980, the first album I bought with my pocket money, was musically eclipsed by Ghost Town The Specials, 1981, one of my all time favorite singles (although I didn't crack open my piggy bank at the time). I have absolutely no excuse why in 1982, David Essex Nightclubbing did seem worthy to be my first single. But the same year I made amends with my first picture disc; Alexei Sayle's infectious Ullo John! Gotta New Motor? which is proudly pinned up in my office. Ahh the formative years. BP

Eddie Lawson

We've heard he hasn't been to Yoorope for at least 15 years, but he's in Stafford this weekend. What's more, while the UK's best selling motorcycle title had its interview cancelled, Sideburn's is supposed to be still going ahead. Yahoo.
We have exclusive T-shirt deals and other new merch. Come Sideburn's Stafford Stand for a nosey. In the main hall. M52, follow the crowds.
