Route Of The Legends Motorcycle tours based on historic ISDT (International Six Days Trials) racing events as well as other off the "beaten track" tours

Route of the Legends is a soon to be launched Adventure Motorcycle Travel Service primarily focused on delivering historical tours based on the International Six Days Trials (also known as the ISDT), which ran from 1913 to 1980. The ISDT as the name implies was a yearly six day long distance and endurance trials event conducted primarily in Europe (although there was one event held in the USA in 1973). Most of the original events were located in a specific country and region, however, in the early years there were some cross Europe events held that crossed multiple countries. Our aim is to replicate the original routes as closely as possible, staying within the road laws of each country (meaning we will primarily be on paved roads). For more information on the ISDT in English: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Six_Days_Enduro

In German: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internationale_Sechstagefahrt

For your information, the ISDT transitioned into the modern International Six Days Enduro (ISDE) in 1981 due to the event becoming more of an enduro style race and motorcycles evolving into lightweight machines completely focused on off road racing.

I was so lucky to bag a copy of "40 Summers Ago" from an estate sale after looking for a copy for years. I even got it in a box set with a t-shirt and a little plastic statue of Steve McQueen. I got it for a bargain (cheap) as currently this book starts at $600 and goes up from there and the box set is over $1000. So much great background covering the famous "Hollywood goes to the ISDT" event in 1964 in East Germany.

After some research I was able to piece together this composite for all 6 days of the 1932 ISDT, based out of Merano, Italy. That's about 40 hours of driving with no traffic jams etc. I'm still in awe of the distances the riders covered on any ISDT prior to say the mid 1960s as all the motorcycles were basically big, heavy street bikes with knobby tires installed. Add in the fact that in 1932 there was no such thing as responsive road maintenance crews and the result is some very hard and exhausting riding. Hoping to scout these routes for a future ROTL historic ISDT tour.

Now compare this to the previous video...this is the very first ISDE held in 1981. You can see why the venue was changed due to bikes becoming so much more capable off road, lighter, faster etc. But, this led to the move away from public roads and also a lot less of a spectator sport.

A lot of folks don't understand that the modern day ISDE, is completely different from it's predecessor, the ISDT. The modern event is pure Enduro racing. The original format was a time trial, some on the roads, some on gravel roads and some on "goat paths". Due to the design changes of motorcycles in the late 70s and long travel suspension, better off road capabilities etc, the ISDT was replaced by the ISDE in 1981 and along with that the whole event changed to a very off road oriented competition. This video from the 1960 ISDT in Austria, showcases some of the style of riding in those earlier events. Personally, this old format was much more in tune with what most motorcycle owners experienced on a daily basis and in my opinion more enjoyable to watch. Credits to Duke Video.
