Now now children, there is nothing wrong with XT's, I campaigned an XT500 for a few year in Pre-85 reliability trials with great success.



If I didn't have the 390 auto to ride, I would have entered on the 500.

Why do things the easy way, when with a bit of effort you can really make it difficult for yourself!!

I am sure that the non Japanese bike riders appreciate this charitable act!

(That's a great shot of the XT by the way).

From the Breaking News section of the VERi website:

Historical precedents cast shadow over non Japanese bikes at 2014 Harrow 100



At the West German ISDT in 1969, no-one was surprised to see this hapless fellow pushing his Euro bike (Simson) across the fields. The two riders behind, are coasting to a stop as their own bikes (Hercules) fail.

Indeed it is said that during the history of the ISDT more boots have been worn out than tyres by riders who selected European bikes over Japanese reliability.

In 1979, the ISDT was held in West Germany again, and a few eyebrows were raised when these fellows were discovered still pushing their bikes around the same area.

When asked what they had been doing for the last decade, the leader responded, "Ve are looken vor und sparken.”

I heard the starting order was going to be shuffled
They are going to let all the Euro's away first so they might have a chance of getting around before dusk

If my sources are correct, GMC will be on one of the rarest BMWs ever made, and probably the finest bike at the event.
If anyone is a shoe-in for a gold medal, its Mr Concepts.
The good thing about telling the truth is that you don't have to remember what you said.
