Seeing the interest in Popham on the site, I thought I would now create this thread.
Every month we have an SV meet at Popham Airfield - 2nd Sunday of the Month.
This initially started out as a SV1000 meet, but it would be great to see loads of all the SV's there!
Popham is found here : http://www.multimap.com/map/browse.cgi?X=453000&Y=144000&width=500&height=310&client=public&gride=&gridn=&keepicon=false&coordsys=gb&addr1=&addr2=&addr3=&pc=&advanced=&lang=&scale=25000
It is just off of the A303, about 5 mins west of Basingstoke.
The Airfield manager is a massive bike fan himself, and welcomes all types of bikes, new and old. His only request is that we respect that it is a family airfield, and be careful whilst riding down the road, and please, no burnouts! We all meet at the Clubhouse, which is at the end of the road.
www.popham-airfield.co.uk On this link you will find all directions to get to the airfield, and also a sub-section for motorbikes.
Also to add, there's a great little canteen there, with hot food & drink available (bacon butties in the morning!)
Anyways, next meet is on the 9th April, hope to see you there!

Indeed!! A couple of guys come from the Reading area over to guildford, then we head there through the Pirbright Bends to the M3....
Do you get use of the runway?

Hang on, it's the GM rideout that day. Decisions, decisions.
It will depend on how much money I have by then as the rideout is a lot further than the popham thing by the sounds of it.

Easy decision mate. You'd best be at the rideout for fear of ridicule!:thumbsup:

No, don't get use of runway, but great breakfasts, barbecue usually on the go, test flights in microlights for not very much money, get to see some great planes (if you're into that!), airfield manager is a mad biker himself, got some beautiful vintage bikes.
The Ducati Sporting Club meet on the same day as us. and there's usually other clubs popping in for breaks on their rideouts.
The Airfield Manager just requests that you dont do anything daft, such as burnouts (as one member from another forum did - he wasn't popular!)
Make sure you make the Annual Meet, which is on the 19th August!

Guys and girls,
If you're stuck with nothing to do, this meet is still happening. It's the AR2007 for them tmrw, so will only be a couple hanging about, but worth it for the bacon sarnie!
(Sorry, I'm in France!)
I should be there today. Keep an eye out and come say hi. Blue Y916 reg Curvy with rear carrier and rider in two piece balck leathers. Will be with a bloke on a blue TT600.

to revive an old thread does this still happen only just discovered it, and its ideally close to me, would be a good chance to meet some of the org.

I think some bikers do still go to popham, but not sure if anyone from here goes.
If you're looking for someone to ride with, I'm free pretty much every other weekend.
