On Any Monday Evening...

From our friend Adriaan in the Netherlands. If you can work out how to vote for him you can send him on a moped odyssey...

Riding our lightweight two-stroke steads in the dunes of the North sea coast in the setting sun.. 

Steve, Malcolm and Mert we are not, but like desert racers we still aspire to be good people. Suggest to play the music loud. 

I was fed up reading about people doing fun stuff on bikes, but with a limited budget racing is not on at the moment, so the next best thing was to "race" a moped over three swiss mountains sponsored by some caffeinated sugar water company. 
Greetings, Adriaan

Nostalgia strip

Beautiful, eh? George Brown's Vincent-powered 180+mph Super Nero, photographed at Debden airfield in Essex, England in 1968. More of this high-octane nostalgia at Geoff James' blog, Confessions of an Ageing Motorcyclist. MP

Trip Out

From the makers of Hot Rod Hay Ride, a new 3 day bonanza in Bedfordshire. This weekend! BP

Hot Pants and Choppers

Well, where to start? Only two things are certain here. That front mudguard will never be the same again, and if our man lets go of the fork leg, he'll never get the distortion out.
As for the lady below, let us have your Chopper comments please (oh, and that's a CB radio she's good-buddying into). Much more clean, healthy hot-panted fun over at Hot Pants. MP

Rising Star

My mate Arturo has been working on this BSA Royal Star bobber/chop/special for a while and it's starting to come together. Rome doesn't see nearly enough of this sort of thing. Lots more at The Rising Star. MP

Billy Joel Collection

Sideburn now has a 169 and counting motorcycle collection to rival Billy Joel's. OK ours is only on Pinterest, but we're still working on our first hit single ok.
I'm gonna try for an uptown girl, something, something, white bread, something, something, hot blood, something, something. Hmm, not sure yet. BP

M&M's Tiddlers

Sideburn favourites M&M's is always a good website to hang out. Above is the Yamaha YDS used for classic scrambles.
The bike below is a Kawasaki 250TR. At first glimpse I thought it was a little Brit scrambler.
Read a full feature about M&M's in Sideburn 6. G

Dirt Quake

Can't beat the perverse pleasure of an XS650, a Fireblade, and a Vespa (plus some other nutters) doing battle in the mud. This is Dirt Quake, read all about it in SB#11. BP
