    It seems like the last two days of the 2016 ISDE Spain will have a Vintage class .
    Any thoughts on what will constitute Vintage?

    It would be interesting if younger riders (non veterans) ran the classic bikes while the older rider(from 1980 and earlier) have the choice of classic or modern. After all it should not just be about the machine but also those that rode them

    The way I understand it , is that the class wil only run the last two days.. would be better to run the first two days when the trails aren't so rough..

    imagine spending all the effort and $$ that Mr Typpt has spent on his works of art then flogging the poooh out of it at the 6 days.....

    im over competing with these old girls, too hard to get them to a competitive level and keep them there. much happier riding vintage rides with no time clocks or winners.

    just another thought though, be good if some snoozer like big Dave Knight got on an old bike and took it up to the new bikes for a couple of special tests....

    100% agreement on that! Besides, in my case the greatest limiting factor in that equation would be the rider.

    The reason it is the last 2 days is that the final day is usually a trail ride for 2 hours to the final Motocross. One hardish days riding would be fine.

    Also, by this point in the event a 3rd of the competitors will have retired, leaving space to have a vintage class for a bit of fun. We will be going for sure!!!

    I think it would be great to see Knighter out there and he does own an SWM, however after yesterdays cock up with being disqualified for missing a time check I reckon he has fallen out of love with the ISDE.
    For sure Rob and I will be joining Andy if we can get entries.

    If I am not mistaken, Mr Typpyt is only working on motocross , not any endurance types. But they would rock at the final motocross special test:)

    MMMM. I am going to have to build a standard looking bike for myself first, if those regs are anything to go by

    Yep Andy
    looks like the 300 is out and the Zoke magnum conventionals too.
    Looks like even putting an 86 fork with disc on a non 86 husky (i.e. on and 83 or 84) is not allowed.

    The year cutoffs seem very odd and not well thought out at all.
