  • When Did Enduro Competitions First Start? Motorcycles Specifically
    When did Enduro competitions first start? Motorcycles specifically intended for enduro competition first appeared at the International Six Day Trial (ISDT) now called the International Six Days Enduro (ISDE). The ISDE was first held in 1913 at Carlisle, England. The ISDE requires an enduro motorcycle to withstand over six days and upwards of 1250 km (777 miles) of competition; repairs are limited to those performed by the rider with limited parts. The ISDE has occurred annually, apart from interruptions due to World War I and World War II, at various locations throughout the world. The early events were a test of rider skill and motorcycle reliability. The earliest ISDE courses used the dirt roads common in that era. Today, most of the routes are off-road. In 1980, the ISDT was renamed the International Six Day Enduro (ISDE). Scottish Six Days Trial The Scottish Six Days (Open Reliability) Trial is an internationally recognized motorcycle competition, which has been running since 1909 (with breaks for the two world wars) making it the oldest motorcycle trials event in the world. Motorcycle riders from all over the world compete in this extreme sport, covering as much as 100 miles a day on road and off-road routes around Lochaber on each of the six days. The event is a trial of the skill, consistency and endurance of the riders, as well as a test of the specialized motorcycles used. Photos above were taken at Scottish 6 days trial 1955 Section A Scottish 6 Day Trial 1955 When was the first Dirtbike Invented? The first motorcycles were produced by companies like Indian, Harley, BSA, and Norton.

  • Early Motorcycle Involvement
    Early Motorcycle Involvement: In 1967 I bought my first used motorcycle for $200. It was a 1965 Yamaha YA-6 125cc bike that gave me my first taste of freedom from home. I couldn't possibly afford a car. My Dad couldn't participate in helping me buy a motorcycle because he was out of town, so my Mom went out with me and helped me load the motorcycle into the side of our large VW Microbus. I didn't know how to shift, so I drove around the neighborhood (which was my daily newspaper route), in 2nd gear. Silly as it sounds I just left it in one gear and kept going around and around the same "course" until finally a police car pulled me over. I was having a great time "practicing" on my new motorcycle and I explained that I wasn't speeding since I couldn't shift out of 2nd gear, and he let me go without a ticket. He told me to go home and to give my neighbors a chance to get some sleep without that noise buzzing by their house every 5 minutes. BMW R27 single vertical cylinder 250cc Motorcycle Coast to Coast: In 1967 I fell for a used white BMW model R27, which was a vertical single 250cc that wasn't seen much in the USA. I ended up crossing the USA from CT to CA in 7 days on it. By the time I reached San Diego, the generator was acting up, and I was fairly tired of riding the interstate highways.

  • 2019 Mx & Enduro Motorcycle
    2019 MX & ENDURO MOTORCYCLE HISTORY Ever since the company was founded in 1976, Öhlins has represented the very pinnacle of suspension technology and firmly rooted itself as an intricate part of the motorsport industry, underpinning countless world titles. That very technology has subsequently been adopted not only as the gold standard of aftermarket suspension, but is also by car and motorcycle manufacturers around the world. Back in the 1960’s, Kenth Öhlin was an up-and-coming motocross rider and showed an innate talent for mechanics. He knew how to bring the best out of his material and soon he saw himself engaged in modifying his competitor’s bikes. By the time he started his business he had already designed exhaust pipes, engines and – of course – shock absorbers. Öhlins soon became synonymous with advanced suspension. The products were not only superior in terms of technology, but as Mr. Öhlin was, and is, a very meticulous man the quality was always outstanding. The first world championship was won already in 1978, as Russian Gennady Moiseev took the 250cc title on an Öhlins equipped KTM. Since then, more than another 350 world titles have followed. The success continued in road racing and soon also in the automotive segment, in racing as well as in rally, all adding to the motorsport pedigree. But don’t think that Öhlins was content, not for a minute. The company continued to grow, adding electronically controlled, semi-active suspension to its portfolio under the trademark CES. Today, this technology has revolutionized the car industry and can be found in a wide range of products from premium car manufacturers.
