    Have Fun Flat Track!! MEGAPOST

    James 'Leftie' Smith reports from this week's Have Fun Flat Track!! event and Mooneyes HRCS in Japan. Thanks James! After ten years of annual pilgrimages to Japan for different reason from work and BMX trips, chopper shows and hangovers from hell. Felt good for this years agenda being Flattrack and eating awesome food with seasoning of those others things. Left London with only a carry-on backpack filled mostly of riding gear and in stark contrast to a sensible person taking

    Have Fun Flat Track Party

    Remember the Have Fun!! flat track crew from Japan that we featured on (and on the cover) of SB36? Sure you do! Well, they're having a big stand at the forthcoming Yokohama Mooneyes Hot Rod Custom Show, then the following two days they're hosting a flat track race meeting at Kawagoe (a train and short taxi ride away, if you're going to the show).

    2019 AFT Champion: Briar Bauman

    Congratulations to Briar Bauman for sewing up the 2019 title with one race to go. We interviewed him before the start of the season for Sideburn 36. When I asked, 'I have $1000 to bet on the 2019 AFT championship. Should I put it on #14?' Briar replied... 'I’m not much of a betting man, so that is a tough one to say. I can be a bit loose at times so maybe not the best idea.' He got that wrong. The Singles and Production Twins classes are going to the final round, with Dalton

    The Great Frog East

    The UK flat track scene has attracted interesting people from a broad range of backgrounds and occupations for a long time. There are the tradesmen you'd perhaps expect of a grassroots, grubby bike sport, but the numbers are bolstered by a fashion designer, pilots (numerous), artists, tattooists, set designers, a doctor, photographers (numerous) and the owner/founder of an internationally renowned design consultancy. The latter is Adam Brinkworth - who races in both vintage

    Stansfield Triumph

    A couple of years ago I decided it might be a good idea to build a bike specifically for flat track/Dirt Quake type events. I'd competed at four Dirt Quakes, three on my old Triumph chop, but I fancied something a bit more suitable/faster. As a small pensioner, a vintage two stroke should be ideal, nice and light and pretty affordable in comparison to old British stuff. A couple of Bultacos and a Honda Elsinore caught my eye but passed by. I only really fancied the Honda as I

    Yokohama HRCS People MEGAPOST

    It's nearly three months since the Mooneyes Hot Rod and Custom Show (HRCS) and I really don't know where the time has gone. I took these photos at the show, in Yokohama, because there were so many characters that I loved the look and style of that I wanted to share. Go, founder of Brat Style, on his custom sand bike with apes and high-rise handshift Cool dude from Addict Clothes, a very classy Japanese brand. He has a vintage racing Norton in the back of his 600cc minitruck.

    Cloud Cuckoo Land: Deus Ex Machina x Ornamental Conifer, Tokyo MEGAPOST

    Somehow it's already well over a month since I flew out to Japan with Bonzorro and Brink for the Mooneyes Hot Rod Custom Show and Brat Style Okie Dokie flat track race. God only know where the time goes. I might not even bother putting Christmas decorations back in the loft because it only seems like two minutes before I'm up the stepladder again to fetch them. There will be a big feature from Japan in the next magazine, SB36, and, hopefully, more blogs from the Japan trip al
