What a fantastic turnout Thanks to everyone for travelling such long distances to support our event. Sorry I didn't circulate as much as usual but my gout was playing me up (Cheeky bastid, DaveH, it's cellulitis and apparently potentially life threatening )

As CJ has already proudly declared he won the Best Buell award on this occasion. There were some stunning bikes there but most had gone by judging time (must make it earlier than 1600 in future to allow for those who have a long way to travel home )

SillyB's stunning X1 was still there but as he won last year it seemed fair to go to another home. CJ's XB12X has now done around 40,000 miles I believe and he has kept it pristine throughout. It has just undergone a winter refurb where a few items which have suffered the ravages of time have been powder coated in a very fetching Thrust Blue. And besides, he and Jane put so much into organising events for this motley crew and spent all day cooking so they deserve some recognition.



Chris was also so busy helping out with the catering that he was unable to perform his traditional headcount. I have dug deep into my grey cells to try to recall those who were there but apologies to anyone who I missed. By my reckoning there were in excess of fifty people there on at least 31 Buells. Of those I reckon that twelve of them were X1s and the remainder split fairly evenly between other tubers and XBs. I don't recall seeing a single 1125.

Those present were:- CJ and Jane, Spartan117, Buell Abusa and Fat Slag, Robin and Janice, Dunk1976 and Sarah, SillyB, Jill Brown and Ade, Kevmean and Ronnie, Mojomick, Richie, Spondon440, DaveH, XB4RT, Willy Buell, Pepper, Mr Waff, Blackcab John, Graeme1203, Mac, Chris Dellow and Nik, Coco, Albert666 and Shelly, Barney, S1nner, Dark Horse, Lorraine Godfrey and Del, Jill Brown Mk2, Cheezy, Clever Trevor, Pete Parrott, Cooter, Dilligaf, Navi8tor, Thunderer, Goldy and Max and PedroW. I also saw at least three X1s, an M2 and an S3T which I'm struggling to associate with owners. Please let me know anyone else I might have missed.

Special thanks to those who stopped around to make it such a fun evening as well although don't believe Richie's tales of partying the night away. I think Mojomick and I were the last ones standing and we were tucked up (in our own beds!) by 1 o'clock.

Steve, I was there! You even said hello

Of course, I had to sneak in on the R1 ...............

You're right, I did And I said hello to Ibis. Don't recall seeing Gibbsy or Paul and I definitely didn't see an S1 with a bronze frame. I trust it was there, Paul
