Steve McQueen was prohibited from racing...his studio didn't want him at risk. When he was offerered a spot on the USA's ISDT team in the sixties, he accepted under the name Harvey Mushman.
Wait , you mean Harvey Mushman wasn't a real guy ???

Kudos lads...! There are Female teams and Juniors as well. Full report in the American Motorcyclist.
The Winning Team are all AMA Motorcyclists of the year also. Well deserved.
I remember as I reckon some of you do also, when the ISDE was the ISDT... International Six Days Trials.

fun paragraph:
This year’s ISDE was the first for the FIM’s Enduro Vintage Trophy, in which American Fred Hoess, competing on a 1986 WR250 Husqvarna, won the overall.
Hoess has competed in 25 Six Days prior to this year’s special vintage competition.
“You know, I rode here in Spain in 1985 on (basically) the same bike I rode this year and I’d have to say on Day Five, when we were riding in the mountains and you’d look up at the scenery and smell the two-stroke oil and the smell of burning clutch plates, I’d swear just for a second I was back in Spain and it was 1985 again,” Hoess said.

A landmark victory in a sport that requires many skills (and superb riding is just one of them).
