    Paul Clipper just published a neat little book on the 1982 ISDE in Czechoslovakia.
    " ISDE 1982, The Year the USA Almost Won".

    Available on Amazon.com

    Good back-story on one of the most difficult ISDT/ISDE events...no Trophy Team finished all 6 riders...and how the USA Team lost the win based on a Jury decision.
    And since our Trophy Team was Husky mounted, there's plenty of Husky photos.

    And a Pop Quiz: Honor system...memory only...no looking it up...and Joe Chod can't answer for at least a few days to give others a chance: There was only one US Gold Medal, who won it?

    My guess is the 3 "Wiseco 100 milers" were the infamous Blackwater...correct?

    It says 3 "100 Miler" series crowns, then 5 GNCC crowns when the series name changed. I think Lojak won it one time, not sure though.

    how can alot of offroad and Enduro heroes not be in the HOF?

    no money in it.....MX guys get all the glory and girls.

    MX guys like the singer or lead guitar player.....offroad more like the bass players

    They just finally inducted Burleson last year.... You have to be kidding me, as I figured he was in a long time ago. Harden got in before King Richard, so Lojak not in doesn't surprise me now....

    Norm, Burleson was in a long time ago...1999.

    He was elevated to HoF Legend last year.
