If you get a chance, go to the Sammy Miller museum in New Milton, Hants. That was an afternoon well-spent, as well.

Iv just looked it up and I think iv been robbed "Unlike most other museums, this is more than a static collection, to be dusted and polished at regular intervals and displayed like butterflies with pins through them."..When you put it like that! ;D

and i forked out £9!
I will certainly make a trip out to visit one day soon, thanks for the heads up

When I was there, they were actually selling a bunch of old bikes and parts as well. Check their calendar as well; they often have special events during the summer months.

If you're in the neighborhood, you can also hit up the Beaulieu National Motor Museum. It's quite expensive to get in, but you can easily spend a day there.

It's mostly cars, but they have a few bikes there as well. Again, they run special events as well.

Gorgeous pics MJ, thanks for sharing. Post up whatever you have, we are a pretty illiterate bunch and shiny pictures always grab the attention.
