2025 Aussie ISDE Team Fundraiser Night

Rally behind the self-funded Aussie riders as they prepare to represent the green and gold on the world stage in one of the most prestigious and gruelling off-road races in the world – the 2025 International Six Day Enduro (ISDE) in Bergamo, Italy this August.

On Thursday, August 7, at the Lane 88 Penrite Museum in Wantirna South, Victoria, an unforgettable evening will get underway in support of the teams heading to Europe to represent Australia on the world stage.

The night will feature a stellar line-up of guest speakers from across the motorsport spectrum — past and present. A major highlight will be Shane Watts, 1997 125cc World Enduro Champion and 1998 ISDE Outright Winner, who will share stories from his remarkable career.

Event organisers are calling on all fans, collectors and former competitors to bring along ISDE bikes, memorabilia, or team kit to display proudly on the night. Organisers are working to secure an incredible piece of Australian motorsport history – all three Australian ISDE Outright-winning bikes – under one roof!

Thanks to the generous support of Penrite Oil, the venue will be packed with giveaways, prizes, and a raffle overflowing with premium parts and accessories. Motorsport lovers will also have the chance to bid on one-of-a-kind items in our live auction – including a one-off, signed banner from the 1995 Polish ISDE, autographed by the Australian Junior Team who clinched Australia’s first ISDE team victory (kindly donated by Geoff Ballard).

Funds raised on the night will directly assist the Men’s, Junior and Women’s Teams, plus the three club teams representing Australia in Bergamo; endeavouring to cover the significant travel and logistics costs to compete on the world stage.

“Whether you’re a fan of dirt bikes, road racing, rally, or classic machines – there will be something for everyone,” say the organisers. “Bring your mates, bring your memorabilia, and help us celebrate and support Australia’s best as they take on the world in Italy.”
