The New Piccadillys - Judy Is A Punk

Dave Skooter Farm introduced me to this inspired cover, telling me it was the original (he played me the 7in), saying The Ramones version was the cover. I almost fell for it. G

Dirt Quake III

Here's the official poster and a few more details on Dirt Quake III.
The event is on Friday and Saturday July 18-19, at King's Lynn, Norfolk, and a slightly different format to previous Dirt Quakes.

Friday night will see a full DTRA short track round and we hope plenty Dirt Quakers will come out to watch the racing, ask questions, pick up tips, have a few drinks, listen to the music, meet old and new friends and get in the mood.

There are plenty of hotels near by and we're going to work with the track to organise camping (different to 2013).

The next day the Dirt Quake classes will take to the track (with an extra class for the DTRA's Thunderbike framers).

Classes this year are the three established groups: Chopper, Inappropriate Road Bike and Street Tracker/Street Scrambler plus we're thinking of a new Vintage class for bikes that fall between these camps.

If your company would like to become a sponsor, please get in touch.

Entries for the event will open closer the date. If you don't want to miss out on news, sign up for our mailing service, by emailing dirt at sideburnmagazine.com

DIRT QUAKE USA - for all our AMerican followers, stay tuned for news on Dirt Quake USA, happening in the Pacific North-West on May31-June 1.

Motorcycho Norm's Vegas Vacation

Norm from Motorcycho flew down to Vegas to watch the indoor short track and to snoop around the Mid-America Motor Auctions. In the pits he took photos of this tough Yamaha TT500 with an old Sideburn sticker on its tail. It was being raced by Mitch Gallagher of the Reno Wrecking Crew.

In the auction room, housed in the same hotel, Norm even got to try on one of his hero's helmets - one of Evel's last jump lids that the current owner bought for $80,000. The owner let him try it on because Norm has that very helmet design tattooed on his arm.

If you like the cut of Norm's jib (and if you don't I fear you're in the wrong place) check out the Motorcycho blog or buy the Motorcycho fanzine from the Sideburn webshop. G

Kenny-Cam

More from the Superprestigio - this time Kenny Noyes' (the man behind the recent 2013 Dirt Track Festival in Spain) helmet cam.
Kenny rode like a demon - win it or bin it. Crashed out in two, won two, was on the podium in both the Superprestigio and the Grand Final.
If you're thinking of starting to race dirt track, don't think that's it's always like this, but this really makes me look forward to the next season (even though I'm not in the same league as these guys, the first corner feeling is the same).
Thanks to Geoff Co-Built for the link. G
