AMCN Sixteenth Annual Island Classic

Two CBX bikes will be competing.

Bike No 666 - The 'Beast' Rider Mick Dibb competing in the Period 5 Class.   Mick has been selected in the top 13 from Australia to compete in the International Challenge.

Bike No 6  - Rider Trefor Lenegan from Western Australia, competing in the Unlimited Forgotten Era Class.

From the www.mcnews.com.au - Island Classic, International Challenge

The International Challenge, a team event for the fastest 45 riders from Australia, New Zealand and the United Kingdom, is dominated by large-capacity 1980s-vintage four-stroke Superbikes and F1 machines. However, five Yamaha TZ750s and four Suzuki RG500 GP two-strokes will ensure a competitive mix of machines for the four International Challenge races.

The visitors will have their work cut out against the strongest Australian team yet assembled for the event, with Gardner (1980 Honda CB1100R), Campbell (1980 Suzuki RG500), Phillis (1980 Suzuki GSX1100), multiple Australian Historic champions Peter Guest and Karl Corpe (both 1978 Kawasaki Z1Rs), multiple Pro-Twin champion Craig McMartin (1978 Irving Vincent) and Formula Xtreme front-runner Michael Dibb (1978 Honda CBX1000/6) heading the local challenge.
