The Sideburn is a dirty bike lifestyle title that celebrates the stripped-back, bull-free, go-fast, turn-let ethos and aesthetic of dirt track racing. It also digs improbable road trips; widowmaker hillclimbs; shed-built; home-brewed racebikes; have-a-go heroes; hopeless zeroes and unearthing stories no one has ever written or read before.

We are preparing for our annual visit to the Bike Shed Show, where we will have a stand with the DTRA, and we'd like your help. We are looking for bikes to fill the flat tracker and street tracker display, that haven't been shown at any of the previous Bike Shed Shows. Bikes can be from any age or era.
We can't help with transport, so it's a case of you bringing and collecting the bike yourself. This is what the Bike Shed say:
Your motorcycle will need to be available for the entire show period, delivered to Tobacco Dock in Wapping on the 24th of May (before 3pm) and collected on the 26t ..read more

This bike was built to race in the UK DTRA flat track nationals, vintage two-stroke class. It was originally a 250 Stiletto but has been modified to replicate the 250 DMR (Dick Mann Replica) factory flat-tracker. This involved de-raking the frame and fitting 19” wheels front and rear to match the DMR geometry along with hand-made bodywork and exhaust to factory spec. It’s fitted with 35mm Betor forks and yokes, an authentic Grimeca rear disc brake and original Amal carb and Motoplat electronic ignition.
The bike starts well and performs superbly, regularly finishing in front of much ..read more

Deus Ex Machina are auctioning off the bike they nicknamed Paloma, a special Husqvarna FE450, that came second in the 2023 Baja 1000 (that was actually 1300 miles, the longest Baja ever). The bike came second in the Pro Moto Unlimited Class, and second overall in the 2023 World Desert Championship. Deus made a film about the Baja race and the build up to it (below).
But you have to be quick. The auction ends on Saturday!
The FE450 was race-prepped by Ciaran Naran, and painted by our old mate Nico, Ornamental Conifer.
The online auction is being handled by Iconic Motorbike Auctions in Califor ..read more
