As things stand at the moment this event is still going ahead.

The latest weather forecast for Sunday in the Southern Lake District doesn't look too bad. But things can change as we all know - if we have to cancel I'll confirm no later than 7.00 pm on Saturday evening.

And yes, non Buell riders are very welcome :yup:...

Arge here
Sunday will be fine .
My hair informs me that Sunday's weather will be what Sundays weather is going to be. Pleasant,and possibly mildly damp,
But even on a dry day in the Lakes it is genraly "mildly damp".
Arge.

Just seen BBC weather for Sunday and they have now changed their minds
they now recon it's going to be quite dry [for Cumbria].

Dont forget my Weathair forcast had already predicted this well befor the BBC.

West is best, or it was today. We had a very wet and overcast ride this morning but at least the weather improved as we approached the South Lakes peninsula. In that part of Cumbria it was mostly clear skies and lovely sunshine, although the roads were still wet.

We can't thank you guys enough for turning up :worthy:, it was a very pleasant surprise. There were 4 Buells at Haverthwaite station - all classic XB models.

The 'Meet Thomas' day was in full swing when we arrived and I must admit it was a very impressive set-up. All the main engine and vehicle characters were there, including a very convincing Fat Controller. I can see why it's so popular with children.

I digress, this is supposed to be a Buell meet write-up. After lunch (my Cumberland sausage sandwich :P went down a treat) we had a tour around the back roads of the peninsula through Cark and Grange-over-Sands, down to Devils Bridge. Because of the wet conditions it wasn't very busy at Devils Bridge and there was plenty of room to park. We managed a pretty neat display with our 4 Buells, they certainly created a lot of interest. 'Arge' turned up on his X1 before we left so that made it 5 UKBEG Buells in total.

All in all, a very enjoyable afternoon spent with fellow Buell enthusiasts.

Just a short post to say thanks to cj and the rest of the fellow die-hards for a pleasent sunday ride out.
Good to put faces to names,especialy arge........who didn't disapoint even though his late arival meant he missed the thomas the tank experiance ;)
Hope wobbles didn't get too cold on the way back down the M6 (a gentle hint for some heated grips for xmas wouldn't go amiss eh?)
I will have my name down for a few more dates next year ,maybe even the Ireland challange who knows.

Glad you enjoyed it, Darren.

At Haverthwaite I wondered why Damien (wobblers) was caressing my heated grips with an enviable look on his face :D...
