I have just returned from the ISDE in France where some of our guys did well, only a pity that our World Trophy Team were a bit under powered because several of our best riders were saving themselves for their World Enduro Championship events to come soon.
We actually scored 2 class wins, one in the modern stuff and one in the Vintage section. The FIM decided to call the class rules, so the oldest bikes are in the "Classic 72" category. Jason McNee won this class from fairly weak opposition (2 OSSAs) riding a 650 Cheney-Triumph that has a bog-standard touring engine.
No other British bike was entered, although we were well represented on foreign machinery. Now the big question........what Greeves would the panel suggest to enter a future ISDE in this class? Would a Griffon Enduro last the 3 days of intense competition? Would we ever find a rider that would last the 3 days?????
