I’m sure many of you still remember the 1996 ISDE in Hämeenlinna. The competition received much praise, both for the smooth arrangements and promt and fast result service. This is why the Enduro and Cross-Country Rallies Commission of FIM referred to it as the best enduro race of that year. With regards, After 15 years, it is again the turn of Finland to organise the FIM International Six Days Enduro. The Finnish Motorcycling Federation can Juhani now demonstrate their updated skills and competence in the 2011 event and organise an interesting competition.
