NCCR has a new Project to bring 3 EBR race bikes back to America. To be donated to Barber museum, at the MotoAmerica event this year. https://youtu.be/RGE2lZZEhNw Happy new year everyone! Make plans to attend? Maybe move Homecoming this year, to Barber? (Message edited by Redridergr on December 31, 2022) | ||

Since Homecoming ( East Troy) has been waning it might be a worthwhile trip. I don't know if one could still call it a "Homecoming". It's more of a trip to visit "retired" relations in their new luxury home. Even so, the opportunity of a lap, (even a controlled one), around Barber on a Buell/EBR would make it a pretty tempting possibility. | ||

The UK Buell Enthusiasts Group (England) will attend this event. We have booked 3 nights’ accommodation, 19th, 20th, 21st May, at the Hampton Inn Birmingham/Leeds, 310 Rex Lake Road, Leeds, AL 35094.

AL would be cool, its a GREAT museum. Last time I was there was in 09 and even then they had a few Buells on display | ||

I'm in the process of talking myself into going. If Buell enthusiasts are willing to travel to another hemisphere for this event its probably worth the 1000 mile trip. | ||

In addition to the fact that we've always wanted to visit the Barber Museum, this NCCR project may be the last opportunity to bring together some of the key personnel involved with Buell/EBR East Troy. Nothing is confirmed yet, but we are very hopeful that this will take place at Barber. We last visited the USA in July 2008 for the Buell 25th Anniversary in East Troy. | ||

It‘s done. I booked car and flight. We see us at Barber. Greetings Tutte | ||

Tutte, that’s great news, we look forwards to meeting up in May. Court, attending the Buell 25th Anniversary in July 2008 was a great experience. So many good memories, the open day at the Buell plant on the 3rd July, shared with lots of Buell riders and international enthusiasts, the track days at Blackhawk Farms Raceway and Road America, plus brilliant summer weather. You also launched your ‘25 Years of Buell’ book at the Buell open day and kindly signed it, along with Dave Gess and Erik Buell. There’s a 970-word report of our visit to East Troy and 136 images here: https://www.ukbuellgroup.co.uk/446199920/447497517  | ||

Announced yesterday by the organisers, NCCR Sweden, the Buell/EBR event at Barber on Saturday 20th May has been postponed. We don't know when the event will take place or if we can rearrange our flights for later in the year. We will contact our travel agent after the Easter holiday and post an update here in due course.  | ||
