Radio Silence

Dear Sideburn Blog readers
Apologies for the lack of posts lately. As you might know, I handle a lot of the blog duties and I've been busy with the magazine, a couple of bike projects, and The One Show (plus trying to have a personal life). Something had to give, and it was regular posts here.
Rest assured, lots of posts coming soon.
Also, if you want to share any of the stuff you're up to, racing, projects or anything else, in the form of a blog post, please email them to us at sideburnmag @ gmail dot com (I've written like that in an effort to avoid the Russian spambots).
Cheers
Gary Inman
Editor, Sideburn magazine
Thanks for the honest update, Gary — it makes sense that the blog had to take a back seat with the magazine, bike projects and The One Show all on your plate. Looking forward to the posts you have planned, and the invitation for readers to submit their own racing and project write-ups is a nice touch. For anyone studying Chinese alongside their moto interests, [url=https://hskkit.com/]HSK[/url] resources can fit into a busy schedule too.
Totally understand the radio silence, Gary! Between the magazine, The One Show, and bike builds, something’s gotta give. If anyone’s putting together video updates on their projects and wants to clean up the audio—say, stripping out background music to highlight engine sounds or voiceovers—I’ve been using removebackgroundmusic.com lately. It handles voice/music separation cleanly, and could be handy for DIY build vlogs. Looking forward to seeing what’s coming down the pipe!
Totally get the radio silence, Gary! Juggling the magazine, The One Show, and bike projects is no joke.
For any readers filming their own builds to send in, if you need to isolate your bike from a messy garage background, I highly recommend using this web tool to cleanly export alpha. It’s a lifesaver for getting transparent VP9 WebM or ProRes files easily.
Looking forward to the new posts and everyone's project stories!
No need to apologise—keeping the magazine, bike projects and real life moving is plenty to juggle. Looking forward to the next posts, and it could be fun to see readers use a photo drawing generator to turn a favourite racing or project photo into a sketch to share alongside their stories.
Completely understandable—keeping a magazine, projects, and real life moving at once is a lot. Looking forward to the upcoming posts and the community stories people send in; for anyone preparing visuals for a project write-up, this replace text in image resource could be handy.
