Finally got time to get on here and say THANKS to CJ and Jane for another wonderful day. Although still feeling guilty that I never got chance to say hi to Jane, double hugs next time I see her.

Glad I managed to surprise everyone by being there...... been really busy over the past few weeks, and just hadn't had chance to post up that we were coming down.

Ed spent most of the day planning what he's going to do with his Buell when he gets one.... yep we got another convert...... I let him have the keys to Binky before we set off, and was not surprised to hear the giggling as he walked back up the drive. Thankfully the scg is just a wee bit too small for him. I'm not sharing my bike!

Yes Em's day is worth the effort, it's almost a 1000 mile round trip for me, and it's the one Buell event that I won't miss. This year I had to be back home on Sunday, and cos of the weather forecast decided to do the very boring run up the motorway. (A1/A66/M6 etc) Was really wet and nasty when I set off, but the weather got better the further north I went which is most unusual. Normally have to put on extra clothes at each fuel stop.Just before I got home I found some corners....... lOl

It was great to see everyone, and Ed is still wondering where you're gonna put that stamp girls?????

Really wishing I could make D3, but just started a new placement, and I'm working that weekend, and can't swap it. :cry: :cry:


:clap: :worthy:

Good to see you and Ed again Rawnie and sorry to hear you never had good weather on the Sunday. I rode over the Humber Bridge up past York and then up the A68 from Darlington and had It dry all the way.
I spoke to one of the contractors at work and he came up the M6 and said it was raining for most of the way.
I guess I was just lucky which is very unusual for me as I usually get soaked. lOl

Vic, the old boy on the pillion of Richies bike, is a proper Dude. He's been around Brit bikes forever. I enjoyed talking to him :yup: 8-)

Very nice pics Robin, really helps with putting names to faces.
Vic is a really nice old boy, the kind of person it is a pleasure to meet. Met him at Mallory a couple of months ago, he is ace. Didn't get the chance to talk at EK unfortunately.... :(

Now, now!! I was only referring to the lower number of Buells at the event this year, and certainly not that I personally was missing. :roll: I am sure there are many others who didn't make it this year, who will be able to get there next year and keep this event going. Making a statement with as many Buells as possible attending irrespective of who is riding them!! :ner: :yup:
