Smile Buell & European V-twin Festival, Saturday 16th July 2011.

Hi DSC members....

Details for this years big V-twin festival have now been finalised. Since 2006 we've had fantastic support for this event from the Ducati clubs and hope for the same this year.

UKBEG Emma Radford Buell & European V-twin Festival - Saturday 16th July 2011.

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 8th 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 raised over £600.00.

In addition to approx. 100 Buells, there'll be Italian bikes from Aprilia, Cagiva, Ducati, Morini and Moto Guzzi. British bikes will include Brough Superior, Hesketh and Vincent.

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

Provisional timetable:
10.30 am: Start time
1.00 pm: Avro Lancaster bomber taxi-run
3.00 pm: Avro Lancaster bomber taxi-run
Time TBC: RAF Battle of Britain Memorial Flight Flypast

The admission charge is £7.00 per person – but girls on bikes get in free.

Note: if you're arriving in a group of two or more bikes would you please collect your entrance money together and hand it to a nominated person within your group before you arrive. This would help to speed up your entrance to the event and help us on the gate. Thank you!

The Aviation Centre has full catering facilities.

Thanks for putting a sticky on it....

Given good weather we hope to break all records with this years event. The largest number of Ducati's was 68 in 2008.

I think we can safely say, without fear of contradiction, yesterday was the wettest ever 'Em's Day'.

We thought we'd be lucky to reach double figures but UKBEG members did us (and Emma) proud with a magnificent display of 24 rather soggy Buell motorcycles.

For the record there was also 1 Ducati, 1 KTM, 2 Cagiva Raptors, 1 Moto Guzzi, 1 Laverda and 1 Yamaha.

The event raised £157 for Em's Charity - a decent amount considering the numbers present.

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...
