Char,
How quick or what time could you get to Andover for, straight up the A303? We were planning on meeting there for 10am, is that possible for you?

[Char]

can do - just have to get out of bed earlier - let me know where

[Rally]

We will meet at the Shell filling station next to the roundabout where the A303 joins the A342. It is the one with all the road works around it and the next junction after the Hawk Conservancy place. Take the 3rd exit off the roundabout and head towards the town. It is 50 metres from the roundabout.

See you there.

I posted off SAE for a pass on saturday 14th, but have not yet got anything in return

Cutting it fine for Sunday - hope I didn't waste a couple of 1st class stamps. I'm not registered on Ducatisti can someone give Dementor a nudge for me?

Gary,

I will probably not be able to make it on sunday and have a pass if you would like it...

[steeevvvooo]

I may be around for this. Need to fiddle with the bike on Saturday, so if all is well I might have a ride out.

Gary/Albie, let me know if you decide to ride up from Kent and I'll join you.

[alan c]

Sorry i will not make it now. Gary/Steve i have a pass if you want it ????

Hope you all have a good time.

[Stuart42]

Hi all

if a spare pass anywhere going free and can get it here a couple of us didn't get one so would be gratefully received.

Cheers
Stuart

[gary tompkins]

I've emailed D*ick Richardson at Popham and he said all passes requested were sent out

Mine may have got held up by Royal Mail, but if it doesn't turn up he'll leave my name with gate security so I should still get in for free. If my pass doesn't get here in time I may still take you up on the offer Alan.

Cheers all

P.S. I can't beleive the site's swear filter blocks the word D*ick - it's a name FFS :rolleyes:

[alan c]

No problem Gary, just let me know when you want to collect.

Thanks Alan I'll get in touch

[CK & AK]

AK & I will be there from Sat late afternoon, so see some of you on Sunday then :)
AK's clearing out lots of bike parts etc - lots of assorted Ducati stuff going to be shoved in boxes to go

CK

[Char]

Can someone organise the weather , it's looking pretty poor

[uksurfer]

i have no pass either, but i guess judging by the weather it may not be needed :mad:

[bex]

Might come over for this if it's not totally chucking it down...

[Gordon H]

Forecast looks pants for Sat and Sunday........

[uksurfer]

thats alright, i saved myself the cost of a stamp! :mand:

[chris yeatman]

mite pop up in the car, due to the weather

[MrsC_772]

Andy and I were going to wait and see what the weather looks like on Sunday - hadn't pre-ordered passes.

Last forecast I saw (BBC website at lunchtime) was looking pretty grim

[gary tompkins]

Looks like heavy showers for Sunday at present

Bollox :(

[Gordon H]

:mad: Next time someone tells me it always rains in Scotland........... grrrrrrr

[gary tompkins]

Well my free pass arrived in this mornings post so I'm sorted

If anyone is still desperate for one I'll pop over to Alan's and pick up his spare

All we need now is decent weather - ho hum

[Albie]

GT
If you want to pop and get it just for me just in case the weather improves . Im not holding my breath but would like to go if its reasonable forecast. And providing I get bike back tonight from Al of proteam as hes borrowed it for display.

[steeevvvooo]

providing I get bike back tonight from Al of proteam as hes borrowed it for display.

Ooooooo, show off! :chuckle:

Weather looks grim here, and forecast to get much worse. Looking less likely than ever, but will make a call tomorrow.

What time would Kenties be setting off if we went?

[CK & AK]

Current forecast for the airfield is dry in the morning & possible damp later, tho its changing all the time.
Suggest you lob the postcode SO21 3BD into something like metcheck tomorrow morning before setting out........
We've decided against taking the caravan down this afternoon, might load the van later tonight depending on the forecast in about 2 hours time.....

I've got the extra pass in case it's needed

What time would Kenties be setting off if we went?

Gates open at 10am. It's 85 miles and guess 1 1/2hours ride to get there from here?

I would aim to leave at 9.30 aiming to arrive by 11am, but if Albie's bike is due for a display stand he might have to leave earlier. I'll be riding round the M25 so maybe clacketts is a good meet point on route. Either way I'll wait to see what it's like in the morning, and if really wet will give it a miss. I've got other stuff I'd prefer to do tomorrow rather than ride 170 miles in the rain.

Current Sunday forecast for Popham is cloudy all day, and intermittant light rain from 10am until 4pm

[desmo]

We are going to be a no show i'm afraid.
I have been called into work at short notice tonight, catch up with you all soon.

[uksurfer]

i'm a little bit more worried as its in a field, i can imagine mud, hopefully might dry and get some sun but had drizzle here all day and i think theres heavier rain to come overnight :banghead:

You big Wuss you! It will wash off and add to the experience. :gay:

xxx :p Girl :p xxx Well said. :chuckle:

I can understand a no show if it is hammering it down in the morning though. Sensible.

[Gutsy]

I still wanna go - but thinking it's gonna be 4 wheels instead. Anyone want a lift from Chandlers Ford area?

It's going to be ok! I will be disappointed if you don't take your bikes - if I've got to ride my bike down that gravel track, so will you! :eek: PS, don't forget your side stand puck!

[gary tompkins]

Coping with mud and gravel track is one of the few advantages of 3 wheels

Fingers crossed for the morning

[Stuart42]

Hi all

weather at the moment in Andover, 12 miles from Popham, is overcast but no rain. BBC reckon after 10am until 1600 will be sunny intervals but no rain.

So come on and dig those bikes out, that means you Martin( Hampshire's finest Rep, just so long as my bike doesn't get dirty).

See you all soon?

Cheers
Stuart

[Rally]

Cheers Stu,
I can also say that anyone coming from the west of it, the roads have a bit of overnight moisture on them but the sky is clear and looking brighter than the forecast would have you believe. This is also the direction the weather is coming from and heading to Popham.

DONT FORGET THOSE STAND PUCKS THOUGH!

See you all there.

[CK & AK]

Remember, if you have a pass & are on a Ducati, you will be directed through right up to the Ducati parking area in the main part of the event by a huge marquee - they WILL have pucks there for you.
The ground holds up well there too whatever the weather.

[gary tompkins]

Just called Albie

We are leaving soon and hope to be at Popham around 11am

[Gordon H]

Up at 5 this morning and it looked if it was clearing - sky cleared and ground dry - Up again at 7:30 and the steady drizzle had kicked in again.............

[chris yeatman]

hey all, just got back from popham, good turn out, 13 monnies in all and 2 from ducatisti,
well done ukmoc.
weather stayed dry all day.
and popped in for a coffee at stuart 42 house on way home.
one fault of the day is that i didnt take me camera, doh!!!

:ukm:

[Rally]

I have a few pictures to post up later on. I agree though Chris, a great day and even better because none of us really expected it to stay dry all day like it did. :)

[Dementor]

Well another year of the Popham Megameet, a fantastic turnout (although not Ducatis!) a BIG thanks to the UKMOC who did support the event, to **** for the free passes, For PeteB,Psychlist & Michael for their bikes and W M Snell for their usual display of new Ducatis. ....and it stayed dry all day!

Great to see Mav and Sue all the way from the Midlands.

Big up to Red Leader (Kev) who camped on Saturday night.

Good to see Steve & Shell with the boys.

A real shame the "New" DSC didn't support it! (and that it clashed with DD)

In the begining!

[uksurfer]

Another good day out, and a great turnout from the area, so glad it stayed dry after the forecast was so rubbish, and i'm sure everyone who turned up had a good time, and nice to see a couple of 'kenties' sneaking into our area too. Thanks

Thanks to whoever sorted the parking and the free tickets to get in, and thanks to Snells at Alton for letting us put our bike gear in the back of there van :thumbsup:

may be some of us can sort out a ukmoc stand at next years event?

[Char]

excellent idea -

[Albie]

Had a great day out guys and thanks to all those who organised the meet.My third time at popham in the 6 years of monstership.
Great turn out and admitting I never thought I was going to go but GT's call made me think we should at least make an attempt. 190 miles round trip was indeed boring but worth it. Got a shower on way home but not at all drenched but had bad visibility on final stretch up m25.

I seem to have lost my reflector hanger on way down so a new one needed.

Some nice bikes down there indeed.

Nice to see every one today & what a result with the weather at Popham.

We hit a few showers on the way home, with a lot of spray on the M25 past J10. Not enough to make Albie and me stop to put on our waterproofs

Here's looking forward to the MOB weekend :thumbsup:

[psychlist]

Nice to see Albie again, it's been a while matey and I'm glad you're keeping well, you've come a long way since we first met and it's a pleasure to see you're always smiling.
LoL! I'm getting quite a colection of UKMoC cards now :p

Hi

good to see you all yesterday, we did Ducati proud, by actually turning up.

Glad everyone got home safe and enjoyed the tea and biscuits.

It's a DP comfort seat, got it from W.M.Snell in Alton :thumbsup:

Must be a later model as I have the earlier DP one, cheers.

Hey, great day out - gradually starting to put some faces / names together.

I'll stick a couple of pics up later trying not to repeat those already posted.

Looking forward to getting out a bit more as parental duties decrease over the next few months!!!

Think I was talking to Stuart at the end of the day - just to repeat, as a newbie it's great just how laid back and approachable everyone on here is. I've tied in with a lot of web based groups clubs before usually to find ego's and cliques are the norm - not a trace of that with UKMOC!!

So again thanks for the advice / welcome and general friendliness etc.....

here endeth the fluffiness........

Gordon,
It is always nice to see new faces and us now not so new ones can release the mantle of being the newest newbie! When I first joined in the Spring, I knew no one and I have never been made to feel so welcome in any club before. It would make me stick with the Monster brand in fear of losing the new friends I have made. The more the merrier is what I say. You will also find how helpful people are if you have a problem or need a hand. Good to see you enjoyed it and look forward to meeting up again soon.
:ukm: :thumbsup:

[ali_mac]

just got to extend Gordon H's sentiment and say thanks to firstly Ducastisti for the pitch and free pass. I arrived late, half way through the afternoon, such that people were leaving. All the photos were done, my SS has not been caught by anyone.

Very friendly bunch though I only had a fleeting chance to say hi to Chris Y, UKsurfer, Rally and Gutsy. Thanks for the chat and your bikes are way cooooooooooool. I like!

Gutsey - see ya next with the termis fitted.

Truth be told, I didn't know what to expect of the Popham extravaganza. Suffice to say next year I'll be bringing the family. I didn't leave time enough to say hi properly as got interested int he next pitch the Velocette club. Soooo much to see and talk of. And the vintage stuff it he marque was incredible.

Hope to catch up with you MOC soon on another local run/event. For now, thanks, impressed at ya.

[Char]

Good crowd - I thought I was the newbie, only the second trip out with the MOB - feel like I've know some of them half my life (about 10 years) and I'm an antisocial bitch at the best of times :nash:

Glad to see the new mebers of the club feeling at home.
One day it'll be your job to make the newbie's feel at home. :)

It is your old bike, now ridden by Char. It isn't running too well though, what have you done to it!!!! :D:D

[ali_mac]

thanks for the warm welcome, nice to meet you so.
The 5th is pencilled for breakfast, meet at Stockbridge at 10:00.
see you.

The orange monnie is just fine - it has had quite a few owners so guess you were one of them!:)

[Gamsa]

I seem to have lost my reflector hanger on way down so a new one needed.

Someone loses something everytime we get together. Ducati build quality, I reckon, mixed in with the type of riders the brand attracts :look:

Anyway, thanks for organising, gang. Mine made it through the MOT retest yesterday, so I'm back in the road just in time to have something go wrong for the next get together. Catch up soon.

I was admiring your early M900 Gordon - very original and fantastic condition :thumbsup:

Hopefully see you on the 5th for breakfast?


Would've loved to, but my new school are having an induction morning. I guess I could pop over to wherever you guys are meeting up afterwards, but I'm expecting to be busy in Winchester until 11:30am ish

True enough. Although HDs are closer in spirit to the Ducatis than the blackbird, I suppose. Maybe not; they're closer to tractors than any other brand of motorcycle.

Someone loses something everytime we get together. Ducati build quality, I reckon, mixed in with the type of riders the brand attracts :look:

Anyway, thanks for organising, gang. Mine made it through the MOT retest yesterday, so I'm back in the road just in time to have something go wrong for the next get together. Catch up soon.

I now have a replacement reflector hanger courtesy of Buzzbomb. As new and will be fitted with nylocs or some kind of anti undoing bolts.

I wonder whats next to fall off then :scratch::scratch:

No one has lost an indicator yet, as far as I know. Or a headlight :D

I did hear mention of an airborne seat cowel....... but that would be daft.....

Yes, that was actually quite an achievement, but not structural. Losing a brake disc, now that'd be impressive.
