Hi David, I hope you enjoyed Morgan Park last weekend. I had a mixed bag, but definitely enjoyed myself. There a few QEMSC members looking at heading down to the Island Classic in January. We are tossing around the idea of shipping the bikes down with a transport company we have used in the past. Can you add something to the QEMSC website and maybe send an email to our members asking for any interested parties to contact me on 0407 657 329 or dkavney@hotmail.com. Indicative costs are around $300 per bike to ship return. If we can get some help from the club it will be cheaper. It certainly beats driving. Thanks, Damien Kavney
