Extra to the published UKBEG 2013 Events Diary, this event is just a bit of fun and an excuse for a ride out. We're trying to get as many Buell Ulysses in one place as possible for an informal meet. We hope to get some great photos and share our passion for this marvellous example of American engineering :D....

:yup: All sizes of rider are welcome, from the vertically challenged to those of us not so vertically challenged....

We're hoping for a good number of Ulysses models - it'd be interesting to see what 'adventure' touring and other modifications people have made.

Thanks for the heads up Chris. Sorry I cant attend as I have two conflicting dates that day....1st is that I am working at our first dealer in Wales (Swansea) at their Grand Opening event but also trying to squeeze in the annual Toy Run to the Childrens Cancer unit at the John Radcliffe hospital in Oxford. Seeing those kids (babies up to 18) taking cancer on the chin before many of them have had any life, its really tough. Not sure how I am going to fit both in, but I guess I will be cranking the XT up some! :twisted:

Have fun!

Allan
2010 XB12XT (with uprated horn and Zeppelin seat pads...lovely!) :shock:

Allan - that's a shame, it would have been good to meet up again but it looks as though you'll have a busy weekend :ill:...

Regarding the meet itself we've made formal arrangements with the NMM and they will provide a sectioned off area in the car park for our motorcycles. It will be clearly marked and located to the left of the entrance to the Museum building. If we can find somewhere to fix one up there may also be a Buell banner flapping gently in the warm breeze :D...

For those of you that have never been to the NMM before it's located just off the roundabout on the M42 junction 6. The turn off to the Museum is marked with a brown tourist sign.
