Great turn out today considering. good to see all again and met some more good folks but still missed quite a few. Ta for the burgers ;
Lovely job done on the X1 GB. Only saw one Buell on the road when going home, Goldy and Max overtook coming out of Newmarket.
Good result today I actually spent more at BB than Mrs D did in Cambridge.
Hope everyone made it back OK.

Great work Tony, very impressive.


Thanks very much to Jane and CJ for the burgers, very tasty. After a dry ride up expections were high for the same on the way home. Everything was fine until Basingstoke, then it rained pretty much all the way after that. Hope you remembred to do your flies up today Mick. You seemed to be checking down there a lot once the rain came down . Hope your arms are not aching too much Jerry after a day on the tassle tractor
Lots of people I wanted to chat too but didn't get a chance. Maybe next time.

Its good to Torque

It sounds like you all had a great time, and I'm sorry I couldn't join you, but had to pick my Blast up from MSR today.

After 24c sunshine in Tenerife this last week, today's rain was a little hard to bear!! We did a long scenic route home from Tubbs to get some miles on my Blast, but I was cold, wet and defeated by the time I got home. I really didn't enjoy the last 50+ miles.... !!!

I am hoping for greater things for the rest of the year bike-wise though. I am looking forward to meeting up with you all very soon.

Had a great time today and good to see quite a few of the southern posse made it up despite the weather!
Thanks to Chris and jane and Steve for the food
Apologies for the delaying Rick, Tigs and Kevmeans departure but it was worth it just for the look on Ricks face.

A huge thank you to everyone who attended today's event at Black Bear. It was an excellent day spent with good friends - a fitting way to celebrate UKBEG's 12th birthday. Despite the rubbish forecast you really did us proud ...

There must have been 40+ Buells and approx. 50 to 60 (hungry) Buell enthusiasts. It was so successful that we had to send out for extra burgers and then we ran out of bread buns - my fault , I misjudged the amount needed.

Special thanks must go to Jane for slaving over a hot BBQ and to Steve and the Black Bear team for their superb hospitality and for providing the food.

Great day and thanks to you all for coming. Special thanks to Jon64, he's so enthusiastic about UKBEG meets and got in well before me (and I was very early ) set up the marquee and the barbie before getting to work fettling Buells and giving technical advice.

The usual thanks to CJ and Jane who were so busy cooking burgers and miscalculating bun orders (CJ that is.....definitely not Jane ) that they didn't get to do the normal headcount. CJ reckons he counted 40 Buells, I've just done a quick totting up of the people I got to speak to (sorry if I missed you ) and I've accounted for 30 Buells and 55 people.

Made my Harley customers stand back and pay attention when they realised that the workshop were working on Buells from Bristol, Kent, Heathrow, Hatfield and Yorkshire during the course of the day

Good to see you all and will definitely catch up again at Em's Do at East Kirkby if not before. Rideout from Black Bear meeting at 9.00 to leave at 9.30

Steve

Hey Steve,

I am hoping to be there on my Blast with Roz and, (I suppose I had better mention) my other half on his FJR (sorry peeps!!) We will be travelling up with Roz following on from our travels in Europe. My Blast is being looked after by Roz whilst we are away, so that I can ride it up to Em's do... I am hopeful of great things!!!

Hopefully see you soon.

Thanks for another great meet Jane and Chris.
Thanks to Steve and the crew at Black Bear for the hospitality also.

We did indeed hit the Monsoon belt for the last 75 miles home. I knew we were in trouble when Noah came past, shouting "Hurry up, it's coming".
I couldn't feel my fingers by the time I got home and could barely pull the clutch in. I stripped off in the garage and left the gear there, so as not to flood the kitchen.
370 miles round trip, S1 running perfectly.
Great to see everyone, it looks like Lauwe could be a right old hoot this year.

Respect to Gypsy for hanging on to those Apehangers at 80 in the rain, it was truly lashing down. I bet your armpits are super clean now.
Also to the ladies on pillion who never moaned and kept smiling. A lesson if ever there was one on how to "Harden The Fuck Up.

See ya on the road.
