Little Em's Lancaster Bomber event, 30th July

[Little Monster]

Hi all

One of the Buelly folk has mentioned this to me, a few of us having attended last year. Because of the links that Little Em (who I did not have the honour of meeting) had with the monsters, we are apparently "always welcome."

Have listed as national event as it's hardly in my region and people may want to come from pretty much anywhere. Lovely roads, a loud plane and nice to mix with the Buellys at an event dedicated to one of their own and a fellow biker.

I've nicked the rest from the ukbeg forum ......

This is our main UKBEG event of the year and is named in honour of Little Em who passed away 22-04-04. Sadly missed but never forgotten.

Location details: www.lincsaviation.co.uk
Start time: 10.30 am.

Entrance costs £3.00 per person - normal price is £6.50. Girls on Buells get in free.

This year we have some special guests, the Vincent HRD Owners Club.
www.voc.uk.com

Only Buells and Vincents will be allowed to park within the Aviation Centre - all other makes have to park in a seperate, secure area.
We're hoping to have 100+ Buells at this event - fingers crossed .

Timetable:
12.30 - 1.00 pm Photo-call for Buells with the Lancaster and Spitfire.
1.30 pm Lancaster Bomber taxi-run.
3.00 pm Spitfire flying display.
4.00 pm Lancaster Bomber taxi-run.

We may have a few other things taking place, but I'll post details as and when they're finalised.

Accommodation details for this beautiful part of Lincolnshire if anyone wants to make a weekend of it:
The Bull - Horncastle - 01507 523 331
Admiral Rodney - Horncastle - 01507 523 131
George Hotel - Spilsby - 01790 752 528
White Hart - Spilsby - 01790 752 244

Two places are available in the Lancaster bomber during a taxi-run. One place at 1.30 pm and one at 4.00 pm. The cost is £150.00 () and you can book direct with Harold Panton at the Aviation Centre, tel 01790 763 207. Each taxi-run takes 6 or 7 passengers and places are much sought after. Most of them are booked months in advance.

So, if your loved one wants to treat you, leave this notice in a prominent place .

I know people have expressed interest at previous Buell events so I thought I'd pass the information on ASAP.

Did you not see my name on the list above this reply of yours, the one with your name and mine? ;)


Any type of bike is welcome, and regardless of the bike element, it is worth it to stand next to a lancaster and watch it spark into life with its 4 V12 merlin engines one by one. The vibrations are scary, the noise is better than any duke and the sight of something so special is not to be missed. And they're doing it twice on the day. Oh and a display by the spitfire... which is not your crappy fly past or gentle ride but a full scale attack, hard banking top speed display at close range. Fantastic stuff.

Should l come on the Fazer or the Duke :confused:

I hope thats not a serious question. Meeting Friends on V-Twins, at the home of a V-Twin engined Lancaster, and a V-twin engined spitfire, on the day the Buells are meeting there. Oh they have V-twin engines by the way. ;)


good luck gettin out of work.

[Richard_S]

I’ve secured the keys and Loan of a pad in Lincoln.... how far away from there are these shenanigans due to be held?

oh and btw apparently the roads up north are dangerous, so I am only allowed to go if I promise to wear my fluorescent shoulder pads. Forewarned is forearmed.

yours with airfix, glue and goggles x

[Paranoid Dave]

how should i know how far it is, my map dont go up that far?

The place is in east kirkby, about 10 miles at most from Spilsby. That should be easy to spot on your map.

Indeed, the world is not a romantic place therefore it is the duty of us bad men everywhere to "do their bit" and generally spread the loving.

hey you...

[Paranoid Dave]

It's now been confirmed that all bikes arriving on the day will get access into the complex for parking on the tarmac. The buells will have one area, vincents another and then any others. I have read there may be over 100 buellsm buell UK are even turning up with oficial van and stock, mcn are going to do a little promo for it in next week i think it is. Some buellers are travelling +400 miles to get there, for this one meet! :eek: i think one is coming from scotland too.
Providing the little one flashes her boobs at god and asks for sunny weather i'm sure it will stay dry for us :lol:

[Richard_S]

nobby is racing at Donnington that weekend so out of the loop, and besides I have made the error of becoming a "social couple" before and it is not to be repeated.

yours in a filthy mood with a new 35sq foot storage unit x

[A Yerbury]

message understood. we may even get our own little parking spot again.
Alex.
ps. yes very wonky indeed although I now have herculean biceps.

[Little Monster]

Unfortunately, I can't come. I'm on Mum duty, it's my son's birthday. Plus the Monster is having its service that day too.

EXPENSIVE WEEKEND FOR ME!!!

[Julie]

sorry i can't make it - my parents are coming to see me for the day.

but hope you all have a great day and Little Em will be looking down x

[Little Monster]

guess we'll have to take our own photos then without you birds there - doh!

mand - treat your son for his birthday by letting him watch a monster having a service - that's saved you some pennies.

xx

[bod]

Would have come but don't finish work while 1PM :(

[logyk]

Hope to make it ....as long as I get my bike back from its service :cool:

Sorry, I won't be coming.

:( ..................

[Tigerlily]

.....it can't be helped I'm afraid.......


We could always organise a meet up sometime, half way between Manchester and Ipswich......


...........What do you think?









What's the betting that some smart alec will come along and point out that this place (sorry forgotten where it is :o ) is half way between them!.........Geography is not my strongest point! .......But I'm good at pointing out the bleedin' obvious! :lol:

[Paranoid Dave]

i hate to say it but i did think exactly that before i scrolled down and saw you'd beaten me to stating the obvious.
We are off to heacham H/H weekend, thats the top of norfolk by the wash, maybe a bit far but thought i'd mention it.

This event is advertised in MCN today (wednesday) and they are estimating between 100 - 150 buells. I think there are loads of vincents going and we have 15+ ducati's planned. Plus others too, i'd say thats not bad for a non weekly slightly specific bike meet. :D Can't wait.

H/H weekend??? :confused: When's that then?

[Paranoid Dave]

it's near the bank holiday weekend, or the Happy/Holiday weekend as i call it :rolleyes:

[Little Monster]

stop hijacking this thread or i'll hijack 10 of yours - that's what yerbs and richard_s's threads are for :p

weather is looking distinctly shocking. if it's pissing it down everywhere i'll be staying indoors, albeit i will honour anyone going by wearing my pink leather bike jacket in the house. (have i mentioned my new jacket :cool: )

decision to be made tomorrow night me thinks.......

[Paranoid Dave]

the forecast for the last few days as well as the next few has been very bad, downpours etc. But in realist they have been warm and on the whole sunny. I too will sadly stay home if it's nast weather but the odd shower i can deal with as that's what waterproofs were made for.

Would be a shame to see it a washout but i have the feeling it will be mainly dry, fingers crossed everyone.

PS, sorry for hi-jacking, but you're welcome to come too ;)

[Little Monster]

boppy cant play out - something to do with waiting for a cable to arrive.

am going to consider weather NOW

right - rabbit and i are the only ones coming from manc it seems so we're going to check weather at 8am tomorrow and if ok, set off.

fingers crossed and hope everyone turns up
:p

[logyk]

Post before you leave Sue.........I will be there ....even if I decide to use the 4 wheeled toy. :cool:

[Little Monster]

Rabbit and I will likely come on bikes but if defeated by weather up north (spilsby looks fine) we'll come in car so we can see everyone.

see y'all tomorrow xxx

[Little Monster]

It's gotta be BIKE

weather forecast for way home bad but it's sunny at my house now!

see ya there xxx

[Rabbit]

Good shout!

[Little Monster]

lovely to see everyone (what happened to tonyleeds?)

as predicted, ride there was fine, lovely and warm at the event and got **** wet through on the way back. ride back for me and rabbit was beautifully interrupted by a few scoops with rich and alex and later a coffee at the king of burgers. it's quite possible that nonnie did get home before us despite her 45 minute frequency wrist rests.

here's blowing a raspberry to r and a for not inviting me to join in in the hot tub action :p

[A Yerbury]

where is the boy with the rose tinted view picture?

Here you are, discovering that the world is a prettier place through rose coloured spectacles...xx

nice girdle by the way :p

[Richard_S]

and to think I was ribbed for cracking the very same pose whilst positioned to the right (conformation photographs still required).


ps she was none too pleased ref the aerial. Miserable so and so.

[Paranoid Dave]

Well i dont know about you lot but i had a remarkable day. And that remark would be "how the hell did i not get wet?" There were a few damp patches on the way to east kirkby, and coming home there were puddles everywhere, boston had had a soaking and most of the places we went through were drying out. Yet not once did we actually get rained on ourselves. :D

Its not a day of fun filled entertainment, but for people like me who like to sit, chat, watch and listen to all things engine, a great day once again.

[Little Monster]

as discussed with scrumpster and rod, my jacket was plastered in dead bug juice......not any more, after power blasting it in the rain on the motorway, it's clean. hurrah!

richard_s - aerial?

[A Yerbury]

well I still don't see a picture? and do not daRE REDUCE ME! the Sellers household comes fitted with many wondrous things one of which is an enormous plasma uber television (perfect for discovery moments ch 504) ...atop this piece of equipment is a brown shonky bakerlite aerial, the kind more suited to a landcaster bombers comms set up. the cat thrashed it not us....
Alex.
ps the aerial is not essential for ntl cable reception but I believe it was a conversation piece.

hmmmm. finger must have slipped. let's try that again........here you are (hopefully)

[A Yerbury]

much nicer, thank yee.

[Nonnie]

Well, I had another grand day out. Loved the Spitfire display so much I could have had a cry! Wow, loved the noise and atmosphere of the Bomber and was well impressed there was no vomiting in any oxygen masks. Well worth the long trip which seemed so much quicker on the way home but then I suppose there was drinking to be done and bands to see.
Great company, weather and fun. I really enjoyed the whole day. Can you tell?!

Signing off now to play with Captain Farquaharquason in his Spitfar for a har.

[Julie]

Have you guys got any photos (not of yerbs tho) from the day i'd like to see them?

[Paranoid Dave]

see if these work

[A Yerbury]

...managed to sneak into the back of that one, sorry julie.

Alex the omnipresent.
