For the 39th issue of Sideburn we venture way off the beaten track in many different senses of the phrase. We visit the secret flat track lair of Damon 'Nomad' York; critique the found footage of movie The Thrill Is On; introduce the wider world to the art of Brian Bowles and Takashi Urashima and follow a street scrambler on a blast through Moscow's streets. There's much more besides, including an interview with Terry Vance, of Vance and Hines, about the XG750R, Greenfield George tests a special XG750R on his own track and there are all the regulars you've come to love.
