Can you dig it?


Lima, Ohio. Boy-oh-boy, that place sounds cool for someone stuck in rain-lashed England.

Hot Dock's 8V Harley






Now just because your bike sports H-D™ badges on its tank, don't make it cool. In fact here at SB, we are very picky when it comes to Milwaukee heavy metal. But this tarmac mongrel; built by Keiji Kawakita in Tokyo, is more frisky than a Glaswegian pit bull & we suggest you don't dare pat its radial 4 valve head.
"GRrrrr WOOF WOOF!"

Fuel injected, AP six-piston brakes, Ohlins front and rear...

I hate racing in the wet



The Americans are sensible, they just call the race off. The stupid Brits try to race. This is Sideburn's GI on his Knight Rotax at Stoke in 2006.

Kill, maim, destroy



It's what it was built to do. Anyone got a spare triple they'd donate to us to build one of these?

Great Britain - World Champions*




From Marco Belli (via Babelfish)

"We arrived back yesterday from Muhldorf, in Germany, where we raced the 2008 Trophy of Nations. The 1000m track close to Munich is a Superfast sand oval, really well maintained by the local muhldorf Club, who is sustaining dirt track from years.
8 representatives of 8 european countries were there to fight for the first place, but as a prevision, it was Team England** who scored enough to be again the Winner Team. The race for the best rider was a different music as it came in my hand since I won all my heats and also the thrilling 12 laps 1000m track final; during which my Team fellows, Magnoni and Talamona, showed consistence and gained good results: this meant we, as Team Italy, finished as the best third Team of the day.
So the final classification is England, France, Italy and Holland.
Another good goal for dirt track, let’s hope for anybody else who is willing to organize the 2009 Trophy of Nations."
