    Hi All,

    Just got back from the Island Classic (Saturday). Big shout out to Stu (@George Jetson) and the Club250 guys who I rode down with. Hopefully they all got home in one piece.

    Normally, I do a report with all the 2fiftycc bikes in attendance, so this year I'm going to just show the bikes that caught my eye. I tried to find Dave Moss (Team USA) in the pits, but was told he wasn't here this year and was in NZ?

    Anyway, enjoy the following images. I'm sure Stu, Alex, Trav and some of the other Club250 guys will be posting images and videos (I think there's video on the club250 facebook page already).

    CBX1000

    Once upon a time, you'd see a few CBX1000's in the pits or bike park. Now days they're everywhere. Here's a few I liked for different reasons.

    This one was out the front of Team Ireland's pits. Custom body and turbocharged.

    This one is what I'd love to have...single-sided swingarm, USD forks, custom everything. IMG_4877.jpg IMG_4878.jpg

    Great day out Frank thanks for coming glad you had a good time and made it home safe. We're all good, we left just after the final race which was a screamer (around 5pm). I have plenty of photos and videos but even my sunscreen didn't protect me from getting cooked today so I'll try to handle an upload in the next few days.

    Saw a few people admiring your little 250 as well... hopefully you'll find her a good home.

    Good to hear you all had a good time. It's hard not to with all the bikes and racing going on. Looking forward to seeing pics/vids from you guys. See you at the next get together I can get to.

    Frank

    P.S. I'll have to change my avatar if I find a buyer for the wife's GSXR. Any chance I can get some of those pics Trav took of the bike?

    Here's a few snaps of the 250 contingent, including @Frankster and @MashtX. I reckon the GP in October we might be able to get a few more, we had a great day out. My only regret was that Trafs and I wished we could ride but him being naughty and me consistently having an "almost" bike to ride...

    But it gave us the opportunity to take some cool shots so why not.

    And a few of the day... including one of (about 3 or 4) offs we saw... at least this guy got up - there was one that looked a bit nastier and had the paramedics involved.
