Thought you'd seen it all?




Some superb shots from Jan-Willem of the Dutch Brothers. The European flat track scene is like dirt track being stared at through the looking glass. There is a lot of enthusiasm, but not enough in-depth knowledge to go around (like the Sideburn office). There are some people (like J-W, Boastie and Marco) who know the sport inside out. There are others who just want to take part, and will do it on anything they can get their hands on. We Euros don't have the history or the secondhand bikes. So people build gems like the UK Honda Bros (which was the ONLY bike to beat Chris Carr on UK soil). And this BMW. Maybe he'd heard about the Ron Wood BMWs but didn't see any photos. Jan-Willem fills us in:

"Well, you know the famous 1000m track in Mühldorf, Germany? Well they were familiar with the Dutch short track for a while, tall MX bikes with knobblies. But when when we came with our framer twins, one Bavarian local obviously got inspired! And he was gassing it hard!!"

Thanks Jan-Willem. Keep em coming.
