Racing started today.
USA currently in second behind defending champs Australia. The General, Ryan Sipes, finished second overall on the day (yeah, the flat track guy who finished 8th at the Nashville SX). Australia leads by about 19 seconds over USA, who's about 2 minutes ahead of Italy in 3rd.
The US is also second in the Junior Worlds class as well as the women's class, with the women only about 5 seconds behind Germany.

No winning threat anytime soon...
The lifes work and legacy of Kurt Caselli lives on through the effort the US Six Days team has become.
3 riders in the top 5, hell of a start!
Oh yea, kick ass Team USA!
Safe to say his riding has eclipsed mine...
Go Aussies!!
I followed this young blokes Six Day effort, through his Dad's blog / videos, the last time he did it - in 2014.
He, his Dad and Family are there this year, doing a good job with videos. There's 4 others previous to this day one, covering preparation etc.

And, the pre-event show (with a certain Beta rider with both wings still intact) :

Actually, a hell of a bummer for the Brits - they've so many fast riders, it seems strange they haven't swept the 6 Days.

There are so many YouTube videos of each day - I'm all stocked up with munchies and 'beverages', for my own version of the Six Days - I'm nursing 2 blown out (for the bazzillionth time) knees after being a bit foolish last weekend.
The Italian Federations videos are always good, but they tend to be a bit behind others, as they go hard on the Pasta and Vino - as I will be doing, too!
Handily won all 5 tests so far today.
They are killing it this year!

More like, Life Happy Bogans!
That's how most of us are in the Motorcycle community (I hope) ....... better than being Grizzle Guts Grumps, like so many 'normal' people seem to be.
PS :
Like so many OZ words, 'Bogan', can, and is, used in both a derogatory, and, complimentary / fond way. We're a weird mob, we Aussies. In this case, I use it in the 'fond' way.
The first, in 1973(?)
The last one, in Tulsa, broke the camels back, so to speak. Problems with insurance liabilty for spectators, being just one, so virtually no access to the public. Which was bizarre, as it was held entirely on the John Zink ranch, of over 30,000 acres, with the intent of that being to avoid land access and insurance issues, I think. You can find a video of the event on You Tube - ISDE1994 Tulsa USA International Six Days Trial - by the way.
I do hope it gets to the US again, but , it may well be impossible. So many obstacles, including the 2 you mentioned, Titan1, from what I read.
