Title: Popham Mega Bike Meet. 21/8/2011. Post by: Chevy Rick on August 23, 2011, 12:59:55 PM Took a run up to Popham Airfield last Sunday, not the best of days weather wise, showers forcast and very wet under foot. Still a good turnout of classics and a large auto jumble, the car park was the fullest I've ever seen for this event. Here are a few of the entrants that caught my eye.
Burney 679cc sv V-twin not many of these were produced, and very few exist today.

It also had 180 degree steering (front wheel drive) which beat the old reverse law for bikers Title: Re: Popham Mega Bike Meet. 21/8/2011. Post by: Manky Monkey on August 23, 2011, 11:17:19 PM Didn't even know the Popham meet was on Rick. What's the black Beeza chop? B31?
