Thanks to everyone who attended today's UKBEG event at the National Motorcycle Museum. A beautiful summers day and a ride on a Buell to meet friends old and new - does it get much better?
There were 19 Buells in total, 8 of which were S1's. We didn't quite reach double figures but it was an impressive line-up nonetheless. DaveH's immaculate S1WL was easily the best S1 there. It's a stunning machine and the best we've seen in recent years. We hope it didn't piddle on you on the way home, Dave.
It was good to see Steve (Ursus) from Erik Buell Racing getting back to his roots on the S1WL, it must have made a nice change to riding the EBR 1190RX all over the place.
Thanks also to Dave and Julie from Northants V-twin, who were riding their Ulysses and XB12SCG, for bringing along a few of their HD buddies with them, it made for an interesting collection of bikes.
We've now held 4 specific Buell model meets at the NMM and although the numbers attending haven't been very large, those that have made the effort have enjoyed the day out and they're certainly worth continuing with.
For those of us that like lists

.....
Ulysses meet, 14-04-13 = 11.
1125R/CR meet, 12-05-13 = 6.
9R/12R Firebolts meet, 15-06-14 = 9.
S1/S1WL meet, 27-07-14 = 8.
Next year we'll do X1's and Blasts
