- Mike's Suzuki GT650
From Sideblog Hey Gary,I wanted to do an SR600 (I'm a thumper fan )but there hard to find over-priced and everyone does them. The Suzuki has a great chassis but its an ugly street bike and I've never seen one as a street tracker.This is only my second build but I knew the bike had potential and I like the look of the motor.The suspension is lowered 3" front and rear.I replaced the front rim with an 18" the rear is the stock 17".The fender I found at tractor supply for $20.00

- Am I mad?
From Sideblog I love silicone sealant. OK, I hate using it, and by the end of an intense session I tend to look like I've taken moneyshots from the entire sixth form in some bizarre public school initiation. However, it's useful stuff and just lately I've become attached to having a small tube of the gunk in my toolbox. At first, I bought a little tube and immediately regretted forking out stupid money compared to when you buy one of those big, trigger-operated do-the-bathroom jobs.So... in these days of plastic toothpaste tubes,
- A Miracle
From Sideblog Oh, they happen. Sideburn's Hauler, the ex-Post Office LDV Pilot, passed its MoT yesterday. Another 12 month's happy hauling and I still haven't stopped smiling. I even treated it to a new alternator belt. GI
- Netley Marsh Autojumble

- Sodium Distortion update
From Sideblog From Jason who is back in Washington after a week on the Salt. He's been having fun on the Supercharged Buell-powered Sodium Distortion and is sporting Sideburn's latest design, the Race Bike shirt.'Hi Gary, Got the latest issue, Awesome! Bonneville was a great success, set two records and reached a top speed of 150.151 mph. Jason'
- Springfield Mile Photos
From Sideblog Great shot that shows exactly where riders take one hand off the bars for drafting down the straights. Johnny Lewis (10) has two hands on while Jake Johnson (5) is reaching for the fork leg. It's right there, give or take a few bike lengths. Nope, that's not Steve Red Max leading them out, but Willie McCoy who came 4th in the Main. There were 17 finishers (Brandon Robinson was a DNF). The fastest lap of all 17 riders was a 34-something second lap. How close is that?Werner, Smith and
- SB#6 now at the ABC Amsterdam

- The Bryan and Chris Show
From Sideblog The second Springfield weekend of the year saw Bryan Smith win Kawasaki's second ever National Mile after he won last weekend at Indy. Kawasaki had a great weekend as Wiles won the Singles short track the night before. Chris Carr is showing there is life in the old (er) dog yet. He won the Dash for Cash (for the six fastest qualifiers) just like he did last weekend and came second to Smith, missing the win by less than 5/100s of a second. Mees was third. More on Springfield later.
- Cow Foot Racing
From Sideblog Not really. Ridley Street Market in Dalston, east London, is set in a cultural, ecconomic, social and graphic time warp. Jews, Asians, Greeks, Turks, West Indians and shaven headed east end barrow boys muscle in together. Hackney council are threatening to chuck some money at it to sanitize it, which would be a shame (if that's not too patronizing a reaction?). If they did have their own racing team this is what their number boards would look like. BP
- Wendy House
From Sideblog With SB#6 out the door, my computer dead, my bike on blocks; but the sun out, I was forced into the garden. The Daddy kit shed I ordered months ago was finally delivered on a flatbed truck that blocked the whole street for 2 hours while it was off loaded, until it transpired it was the wrong one. So all reved up with my wife screaming 'How much bloody longer do your tools have to litter the kitchen!?' I set to on building a shed for the kids by chopping

- The other cool Kawasaki at Indy
From Sideblog From Roger...This is the other cool Kawasaki at Indianapolis for the mile. This bike belongs to a "keep at it because you love it" kinda racer you always root for. Jason Griffin didn't make the 32 rider field at Indy on his Kawasaki, but that's not the point.I've seen him at Lima a few times too. The point is that his right arm is missing other than a bit of a stub. The right sleeve of is leathers is sewn shut after about 4 inches. (Read
- Grayson Perry: Genius
From Sideblog Grayson Perry is without doubt our favourite Turner Prize-winning transvestite artist, and that's before we realised he was a fan of old Harleys. Thanks to John and Andy Ford for letting us know about Grayson's planned road trip. Follow his trip, from the perspective of his teddy bear Alan Measles here.

- Bog philosophy
From Sideblog There are few things I like better than sitting on the bog and meditating over a copy of the Classic Bike small ads, but this one made me think about more than the inflated prices of pre-unit TR6Cs. Don't let time creep up on you, get the fuck on with it (said the king of procrastination). MP
- Merinero exhibition in Spain
From Sideblog It's a big Harley show plus an art show on the side.This exhibition will take place in Building Moruno, located in Plaza del Mar, from September 4 to 12.
- Coolbeth came and kicked our asses
From Sideblog From Shane in NY State. I have known about you guys for a long time. I read about you online, and was going to get a subscription a while ago and just have been super busy racing and working. We do a lot of stuff here at my local club and the turn out is always really good. The last two "local" races I was at Kenny Coolbeth came and kicked our asses. So that's always neat. I attached a picture of me riding one of my bikes.Thanks Shane
