    Published by: Chris & Jane Jessop. UK Buell Enthusiasts Group PO Box 271 Dewsbury Thunder WF12 0WA American Tel: 01924 518224 (evening) Newsletter Of The Independent [email protected] Spring 2010 UK Buell Enthusiasts Group UK Buell Enthusiasts Group Erik Buell Racing – American Racing Sportbikes As detailed in the Winter 2009/2010 issue of American Thunder, from the ashes of the Buell Motorcycle Company rose a new company – Erik Buell Racing. After just a few short months Erik Buell and his small team have redes- igned their web site and fully established the new company as a going concern. Their new web site contains full details of the 1125R DSB, 1125RR ASB and 1190RR race machines and a web shop where various Buell race com- ponents can be ordered on-line. The new web site address is www.ebracing.com With the kind permission of Erik Buell we‘ve reproduced some of the information from his new web site on pages 25 to 28. ———————————————— Erik Buell Racing 1190RR This issue contains a major feature on the Buell Thunderbolt series of motorcycles. Although not a very popular model on this side of the Atlantic, the S2/S3 Thunderbolts do have a small and dedicated following. See pages 6 to 19 for a full appraisal of this model. ———————————————— Also in this issue is a preview of our 2010 events calendar. One of UKBEG‘s main strengths has always been the number of Buell events it organises – see pages 20 to 24 for details. Contents: Page 2: UKBEG Emma Radford Memorial.

Remember that by showing of your ex-police motorcycles, you are giving the public a chance to see something unique and rare. It doesn’t matter whether it is still in police livery or has been put back into civilian trim, they were all working bikes and deserve to be appreciated. Please check out the full list of events on the back page for this year and come along to as many as you can. The more vehicles on show the better. Check out the photo's as shown in this newsletter and if you locate any new or unusual ones please pass on to Paul for future display in the newsletter. Have a great summer and see you all at the events. Remember, Enjoy Yourselves. David Bragg Pictures from the Archive - Home Office 2 HISTORIC POLICE MOTORCYCLE GROUP Pictures from the Archive - Home Office The pictures on both pages are from the Home Office and are dated between 1992 and 1993 and show various demonstrators from Suzuki together with the final police spec models from BMW and Honda.
