Buell & European V-twin Festival, Saturday 18th July 2009.

Chris Jessop · 18-03-2009, 04:24 PM

Hi Monster owners....

Details for this years big V-twin festival have now been finalised. We had fantastic support from the Ducati clubs in 2006, 2007, 2008 and hope for the same this year.

UKBEG Emma Radford Buell & European V-twin Festival - Saturday 18th July 2009.

Lincolnshire Aviation Heritage Centre
East Kirkby, near Spilsby
Lincolnshire
PE23 4DE
Web site: www.lincsaviation.co.uk

UK Buell Enthusiasts Group web site: www.ukbeg.com

This will be our sixth event at this location dedicated to the memory of one of our members, Emma Jane Radford, who passed away 22-04-04, aged just 26. We'll also be raising money for the Papworth Hospital Cystic Fibrosis unit which looked after Emma. Last year we had 280+ bikes and raised over £1200.00.

In addition to approx. 150 Buells, there'll be Italian bikes from Aprilia, Cagiva, Ducati, Morini and Moto Guzzi. British bikes will include Brough Superior, Hesketh and Vincent.

Buell UK will support the event and will have a selection of their current Buell range available for escorted test rides around the stunning Lincolnshire Wolds. You must produce a full motorcycle licence if you wish to have a test ride.

The event will include a Lancaster bomber taxi-run display. If you like Rolls Royce V12 Merlin engines at full chat and red-blooded V-twin motorcycles, you'll really appreciate this event!

The provisional timetable is as follows:
10.30 am Start time
12.00 noon to 1.00 pm Photo-call for bikes with the Lancaster
1.30 pm Lancaster bomber taxi-run
4.00 pm Lancaster bomber taxi-run

The admission charge is £6.00 per person. 'Girls on Buells' get in free.

The Aviation Centre has full catering facilities.

I went last year - a good day out. Great roads on the way, plenty of noisy bikes and a really noisy plane! And Buell test rides (which are fun if a little odd). I hope they get the spitfire over this year.

Nonnie · 18-03-2009, 05:46 PM

It's a fantastic day out. You must go if you can. You must.

18-03-2009, 09:27 PM

Whoo hoo, an event within easy reach. We'll get along to this one (considered a Buell...........seat height thing, be fun to have a look at what they've got there)

No, that's the previous weekend 11th/12th July. Also a great event well worth attending.

Hi Rachel

It'd be good to see you again. Do you still have the Buell?

15-04-2009, 09:42 AM

Hi Chris - yes I do - nearly 15k miles and we're still very happy! It's a wonderful piece of kit and I love it..

How's your collection of beasties going?

Sorry - slight hi jack over!!!

Stafford · 15-04-2009, 10:04 AM

Why are there 2000 tickets available for the Festival of 1000 bikes?

It would be nice to get over to the V-twin day but TBH it's a bit far, hope it's sunny for you all.

Chris Jessop · 17-04-2009, 03:13 PM

For those of you who live a fair distance away from East Kirkby, we have overnight accommodation arranged at the Haywain Motel, 10 miles from the event. Their web site: http://www.haywainmotel.co.uk/

Book early - we already have quite a few UKBEG members booked in.

Rachel - glad you've still got the Buell. I'm down to 'just' 3 bikes now, 2 Buells and 1 Guzzi...

Chris Jessop · 08-07-2009, 09:24 AM

Just bringing this topic back to the top....

Hopefully we'll see some of you guys (and girls) on the 18th - good weather has been ordered!!

Chris Jessop · 10-07-2009, 02:50 PM

A couple of event updates:

Due to the large number of Italian bikes which now attend this event we've introduced a 'Best Italian Bike' award. This is in addition to the usual 'Best Buell' and 'Long Distance' awards.

Also new for 2009 - lady riders and pillions from the UKMOC will qualify for free admission.

Capo · 12-07-2009, 05:48 PM

Is prior registration required? or can we just turn up and enter?

Chris Jessop · 12-07-2009, 09:04 PM

No pre-registration required, please just turn up - you will be made very welcome
