    Sideburn 45 Is Here

    I'm into my 13th year of making Sideburn, and I'm pleased to say I'm as excited about SB45 as any issue we have previously published. I know, I know, sounds like marketing codswallop, but it isn't. I think of the business of Sideburn endlessly. I consider the content of the magazine, what will hit, what might miss; what should be in and out; who should be interviewed before who. Then I realise I'm overthinking (everything.

I'm not sure where the track is, but one of the interviewees says the East Midlands, so too not far from Sideburn HQ, but in cosmic and style terms Leicestershire 1981 seems like a different universe.

    Krazy Horse Flat Track Night: MEGAPOST

    Krazy Horse themed their first late Thursday night of 2019 as a flat track night. The late nights, the first Thursday of the month from spring to autumn, are big, everyone's welcome, bike nights. There's a huge barbecue, a band and Krazy Horse work with their neighbours to allow loads of parking for the crazy variety of vehicles that turn up. Mark brought his beautifully turned out Trackmaster Triumph. This used to belong to Guy Sutherland, and Rob will be debuting it in the
