great insight on the ISDE 2012 in Germany

[MastaMax]

I've been following this amazing thread for a while, it's the story of a kid who got selected in the USA team for the ISDE (international six days enduro) in Germany:

What I found so funny and really didn't surprise me was:

Over 43 riders received speeding tickets today. The police are out in force.

Haha typical Germans (not saying any neighbor country would do any better), so ridiculous...

Loads of videos following the event as well, but the thread on TT really makes you see the competition from a racer's point of view.

3 videos from the first day (yesterday):

Sorry Max, NOT CORRECT and NOT TYPICAL GERMAN! I was standing 500m away from that. The police just written tickets for that, not like the finnish police last year, They took their license at once. For those riders was the ISDE 2011 finished at the first day. You can ask here everybody, include the riders how lucky they are with this tolerant law here in Sachsen. Please, get a better information before posting things like that.

I've probably been in Thailand for to long to think that it's stupid to give speeding tickets on a world racing event, also haven't been a single time in Germany without getting aggressively stopped by the police (maybe they just don't like Swiss number plates).
Anyways that's not the subject... You're lucky to be there and see the whole event, must be amazing to see those riders fly on the trails.

Video of day 2 and 3:

In fact, everybody was to fast. The police just gave tickets to those riders, whose was so fast, that in normal cases the driving licenses were gone. And only on the first day to show them, We have an eye on you. The ISDE rules are 100% clear for the pieces in the public traffic.

I don´t think, the police is keen to catch Swiss numbers. We say this from the Austrians and the Italians says this from Swiss and the Dutch from French. Maipenrai, it´s normal. I pay every year about 10 tickets. As a German in Germany.

Back to ISDE, it´s 6 o´clock and we have the 1st time heavy rain. This will be a hard for everybody. The riders must give everything. I guess today we have 50% off.

Sorry, here are german + english translations

[h=5]"In Frankreich wurde es Toyota untersagt, Werbung zu zeigen, auf denen die Fahrzeuge auf losem Untergrund stehen. Alle vier Räder müssen auf Asphalt stehen! Nein, das ist kein Witz... ### According to a court decision, vehicle ads or commercials in France have to show all four tires of the vehicle on solid ground (street), NOT off road. Nope, that's not a joke."[/h]
