    DTRA Rnd 2 Sideburn Vintage report

    The Peterborough round of the DTRA Championships is an event with a different atmosphere to any other round. Being part of the MCN Festival there are big crowds, lots of motorcycle industry involvement and the DTRA Flat track racing is the main live attraction. The Sideburn Vintage Class entry lined up 18 riders vying for a place in the 12 bike final. French Sideburn Ambassador Hubert Bastie #2 was back with his Husqvarna running reliably at last and was full of confidence af

    Hells Race Road Trip Pt 3

    I loved Hells Race in 2017, helped by good weather and a fun road trip with Anthony and Anna from the DTRA. Just about everyone who went last year loved it, word spread and twice as many people entered for 2018, riders coming from Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, France, Spain, Switzerland and the UK (including Sideburn ambassador, John Harrison, above). And the weather was even better this year. The owners of Dirt Track Lelystad had changed the make-up of the track, adding, I
