What can I say the day was saved by you both- what brave if not wet souls you were!
so many roads to travel - so many ways to get lost!

I suppose, if you think about it weirdologically, (stay with me folks).....

If only @ 25ish Buells were there, out of all of UKBEG members,.....

and @2 Raptors were there (i didn't actually count but i think that's a fair estimate) from the UK Raptor Chapter.....

Then, as a % of membership, we probably had a better turn out than they did!


:thumbsup: WAY TO GO, RAPTOR CHAPTER, WE SHOWED 'EM!! :thumbsup:



(Is it REALLY worth inviting the Buells next year? seeing that we've obviously taken over.) :suspect: :mrgreen:
To a Raptor....EVERYTHING else is just prey !!

WOOHOO!...TWINS!

That is the funniest thing I've read in ages :happyhappy:.....

Thanks for attending - it does mean a lot if riders of other makes support the event.

A few more pictures of a rather soggy day:

The Buell line-up took place after a few had already left but we still put on a good show with the Lancaster.....

For the first time ever at Em's Day we had 4 Dutch registered Buells in the line-up...

I couldn't go because of events within the family and was seriously pissed off. Then I saw the weather and thought that maybe I was glad I had an excuse not to go, but thought that I would still like to have done anyway. However, the two blokes on Buells who I was to ride down with didn't make it either. They got to the other side of York before one of their belts snapped (on the bike) and they had to come back home.

It was just detined not to be this year...
