Are there any get-to-gethers in Bristol for the Buell riding crowd?

In fact, as I strolled out of the pub at lunchtime, I spotted a Valencia orange XB12S* caning it up the road...

Sure, we can meet up, what do you want to do? Eat ice-cream at Sea Wall (on the Downs)? I'm up for that!

I think I may have seen the very same one this morning while walking up one of Bath's many hills from the bus station.

I was just curious whether any organisations or clubs existed. If I buy my Buell this month I could do with some help here and there from existing owners for my many questions and lack of technical experience. :-)

Ice cream does sound fun though ;-)

I think there is a mystical attraction to Buells in Bristol where the lay lines seem to bring out grown men wearing discounted Buell clothing walking down the road saying yeah but no but yerbut. A swift run up the Cheddar Gorge followed for some cheese and a flagon of scrumpy.
A lot of helpful types in that area :yup:

Well there certainly are a lot of Buells in Bristol. I don't mind a meet some weekend as long as there is a cafe involved.

The Cheddar Gorge trip was my first UKBEG meet and its fun hearing the Buells going through the gorge.

I don't mind riding out to an ice cream van or a fry up... 8-)

We need a road with some jumps and berms in it :twisted:
