It appears that Buells are just like buses. You don't see one for ages then three turn up at once. At least that was what it must have looked like when I came across two 1125 s Friday afternoon near Buxted in Sussex. Didn't have chance to say hello to the riders but if you're reading this, hello guys!

Cheers

Richard

Probably keep it simple, 7 mile lane and on to the A21, along to Flimwell and left thru Hawkhurst and follow our noses from there......unless you have a better plan

Never mind 'Avalaugh' we were in the pub by then.........We saw 3 1125rs and 2 Uly's in the short time we were there.

Decided not to stay in the car park too long as I was feeling a little illegal what with the Black Visor, small plate and the pipes un bunged, and the local plod in attendance.
Funny how the Rice burners seemed so legal and quiet today

Haha well funny, the plod were cool actually, they had a good look over my bike asking the usual questions, like is that a harley engine then :) Never mentioned the super loud HMF pipe, butchered tyres, black visor or really used knee sliders !

Did you look over there Triumph bike ? it was given to them by Triumph and was covered in trick bits like carbon fibre, adjustable rear sets etc. As far as coppers go they were a good bunch to be fare.

Still wouldn't of liked the riding on the way home though :shut:

Yes, one of my mates stayed in the car park and he did say the 'bill' were fine.....apparently if 'he' could read your small plate then it was legal?, wasn't fussed by dark visors, as long as they werent too dark :? and wasnt bothered by loud pipes as long as they werent too loud :? :?

Left Rye on my own and did get back a touch quicker that the run down :evil: cant tell you any more as I would then have to kill you................ :D
