Title: Sammy Miller Museum
Post by: MCTID on October 13, 2016, 09:01:38 PM

We were B & B'ing near New Milton, Hampshire last week and surprisingly, SWMBO offered little resistance to visiting the Sammy Miller Motorcycle Museum. Brilliant place and some splendiferous machines to see.

We last went about 10 years ago, but I had forgotten just how good it is so just wanted to remind you good folk on the sohc Forum that is is well worth the effort to go and visit.

There aren't many Hondas TBH but there are a couple of Honda Race Bikes which had me drooling. You can check out the Website to see what a great collection they have.

We thought that the £7.50 Entrance Fee was good value, and thoroughly enjoyed our time there.

  last year it co -insided with a VJMC show ,and all sohc bikes got it to the center area,this was a mid june event,

 we also fancied going to the David Silver museum,at present this is only open monday to saturday,and being almost the most easterly
bike museum in the land !!   some distance away,so staying over night is needed
