Popham Mega Meet (http://mankymonkeymotors.co.uk/Photos/popham17.8.08/pophamwords.html) A really pleasant afternoon out amongst the Tiger Cubs, Bantams & Flying Squirrels. Great to see so many ancient bikes still being ridden & enjoyed as they were meant to be.

I reckon we should've cut "Manky Monkey Motors" into the grass of the carpark. Mind you, the trail of neatly mown grass leading back to his Consul might've been a bit of a give away as to the culprits!
