Greetings,
I stumbled across a video made up of mostly of old ISDT pictures and found it quite interesting, and thought some of you may enjoy it as well. It sure brought home once again the rich history that we are so fortunate to be able to look back upon because of the internet.

Thanks Paul,
That brings back great memories of my trip to the ISDT in Massachusetts. Seeing bikes lined up all in rows in the parc ferme. So many different brands from the 50cc Gilera's to the big BMW's. I remember one morning watching the start, one of the BMW riders kicked his bike and it started on the first or second kick. He threw up his fist and let out a yell, hopped on the bike and took off. He was one happy German. Those BMW's didn't start well on those cold mornings.

GREAT video!
Those guys were amazingly tough!
As much as I love the old bikes, let's face it, compared to the new stuff those things were boat anchors with wheels and a motor.

Too cool for words!!! The ISDT always fascinated me more than any other form of motorcycle competition.
