SIDEBURN #10 LAUNCH PARTY !

One to Nine were great , now get a load of ten ! SIDEBURN Mag that is !

And if you're anywhere near Liverpool on Friday get yer Ass down to the Launch party .

OI NORTON U C@NTS , WHERE'S MY F@CKING BIKE .

TWO YEARS SINCE I ORDERED A NEW 961 NORTON , YEAR N HALF SINCE I PAID IN FULL (WHEN THEY SAID IT'S READY AT THE END OF THE MONTH !) STILL NO BIKE . NO REFUND EITHER - YET .

THIS MONTH I SUE THEIR ASSES ORF !

Ok , so it reminds me of some music (funnily enough ) as most things do .

Firstly Roy Chubby Browns best ever Christmas song .....

Oi Santa Claus you c.nt where's my fu.king bike?

I've unwrapped all this other junk And there's nothin that I like.

I wrote you a fu.king letterAnd I come to see you twice

You worn out geriatric fart you forgot my fu.kin bike

Mint , just insert "stuart Garner" instead of Santa and "Bullshitting letters" instead of junk and i think we have it in a nutshell .

Next up we have a couple of Sex Pistol numbers , The great rock n roll swindle LP because whilst playing it , i had It's a Swindle ringing in my ears for days ....

NORTON - it's a swindle.

Also from the "never mind the Bollocks LP , Liar .

Lie lie lie lie liar you lie lie lie lie

Tell me why tell me why

Why d'you have to lie

Should've realised that you

Should've told the truth

Should've realised

You know what I'll do

Reminds me of the Norton Sales team , plenty of lies , more lies and empty promises .

Finally the Cramps , "A date with Elvis " ,

because you're as likely to get a date with the King as get a bike from Norton !

(He's dead by the way ).

But also on this LP (we are talking Vylnil here) the song Kizmiaz ......

Take a magic carpet ride to the olden days

to a mythical land where everybody lays

around in the clouds in a happy daze

in Kizmiaz ..Kizmiaz

Yes that's Kiss my ass ! and i think that sums up my Norton buying experience in full .

Never mind the Bollocks , where's my bike ????

Ahh well , that's just my own opinion and how i feel right now .

I'm still gonna getta Norton and cut it up and make a Streettracker outta it - and i'm gonna call it "The Swindler" - now you know why .

PS - just after i paid for the bike i visited the "factory " at Donington , the engine building room was shut and nobody could find who had the key (really ?) ..... but i put my camera up to the window to get a pic of hundreds of Norton twin motors being made ..... and this pic is what i saw !

Yep , Five half built motors ...... i got a leg up (and more photos ) that was it not much on the shelves and definatley not enought to build 5 motors up !

So i guess , they have supplier difficulties and cash flow problems (which gives you suppliers problems - they don't like non-payers !) as i had expected , but they are still taking peoples money for something they can't supply .... anyone wanna put a word on that ?

Yea we all know what it is ,

The greatest rock n roll Swindle ....

Lots of feedback , fade out singer , wipe up spit from floor and Kizmiaz .

SJ'S 840 STREETSCRAMBLER - FINISHED !

Pipes by Co-built

Paint by Altamura

Build by Redmax

Special parts Dirtylanesussex

tank/seat/bars/etc Redmax

The HAMAMATSU HOTROD !

We showed Steve's new 840 at the Ace this weekend and MCN jumped straight on it for a feature ! The bike has been a labour of love here and we could'nt wait to show it off to everyone . Steve (who supplies Yam spares - dirtylanesussex.co.uk ) rode it in fron Sussex and reported nifty performance from his 840cc big bore motor combined with snappy handling from the lightweight bike - his smile said it all !

This Yam has an 840 cc motor , with H/C pistons mild cam , balancing /porting work , performance stainless pipes and dell'orto pumper carbs.

Vintage Yam DT360 tank , Bultaco Astro redmax seat , Redmax Flattrack bars , Tarozzi rearsets , Koso digi dash , R6 forks and four piston calipers , Mag wheels and Tracker tyres and a very funky paintjob complete the picture .

Steve was intimately involved with the build putting a lot of his heart into finding the right parts and desighning the paint , and it shows . Glenn here in the Redmax workshop conspiring to come up with some real neat signature items across the bike (rear lamp , chain gaurd , heat shields etc ). Credit where it's due .

An enjoyable build - we're looking forwards to Steve's next XS .... will it be a cafe racer or a bobber ?? ... keep tuned .

ROLLERBURN ROCKED MY SOCKS OFF !

Back this mid-day from ROLLERBURN , which obviously was fab .
Great vibe from the start with a lot of like minded Flattrack Hep-cats turning up to display their rockin' bikes around the hall .
Rach said of the Stall/stands there - I've never been to a show where all the stands were interesting , i just don't know where to start ! (however she soon started spending and i'm not sure she stopped !)
Pics / Videos here on Flickr - http://www.flickr.com/photos/redmaxspeedshop/sets/72157628066927189/
It was a cultural mish-mash of art/style/cool/motorsickle mania and music .
Not to mention the surf/skate /cycle culture happening thing going on ....
When am i going to mention the Motorsickle /Rollergirl drag racing and Guy Martin ?
Well , i just did - but first star of the show for me was off his head northern comic - Charlie Chuck - MONKEY !
Anyway when the ROLLERBALL gig started and the Two painted up Co-Builts shot past with Rollergirls sliding on their (sexy) asses past us - then appeared a vision of a third rider on another Co-Built bike towing another Gurl and it was Mr Chuck !
I tell you it was like the ghost of Simoncelli in a 70's dinner suit with a touch of Terets thrown in i even forgot Guy Martin was even there !.
However Rach soon reminded me by tracking him down and Having me take their pic for her !
I got some great Video of that all going on , will load it up when fully awake later .
The minute the Bike engines died out The Stags chimed in hard n fast - anyone who has'nt seen em should and their crazy mix of 60's beat band/garage sounds is worth the trip anywhere .
The first band was just a wall of noise for me - but a lot of people dug it (Hip priests) but i liked the second band from france a lot more (Les terribles) and they had the sound set up a lot better too .
It was great to see a load of my mates over from France too - Hope no-one came a cropper in the Pea soup fog we had all the way home .
You know a thing like this only happens occasionally and i'm glad i was there .
And any time you've been anywhere and wanna tell someone else about it - you know you went somewhere worthwhile and was part of something good .

Thanks to Glenn and Shaun for carting my stall 180 miles and setting it up for me whilst i schmoozed around at the NEC show with Rach that morning !
BIG thanks to the Sideburn team , co-built and Skootafarm boys for makin it happen .
OH and those ROLLERGIRLS for makin it oh so horny .
Not Guy Martin Rach .

This crap video explains how Rollerderby works , but i've got some great footage of the Rollerburn Drag races to load up tommorow !



Second video is of Rollerburn crash - Gurl on her ass ! filmed from bottom of strip - watch her slide , smell the fishnets burn ! mmmm.
Gonna upload a few more vids to my Flickr page tomorrow .
