Smokin' to Sammy's
Sammy Miller's Museum 2 stroke day onboard Suzuki RG500.
The Sammy Miller's Museum has an annual 2 stroke day, where 2 stroke motorcycle enthusiasts come from all over to show off and view other amazing 2 stroke bikes.
I decided to make the 100 mile trip. The museum is amazing and the 2 stroke turn out was brilliant. Lots of Kawasakis, Suzukis, Yamahas and Hondas, as well as some super rare bikes. There was even a Langen.
A brilliant day and I will certainly be returning to go the the actual museum to see their 500 + bike collection.
The Sammy Miller Motorcycle Museum is an independent museum in New Milton, Hampshire, England. It was set up by Sammy Miller in 1996 , his first museum being 10 mins down the road which opened in 1983. Sammy is still very much at the helm, in the workshop 5/6 days week. He is best known for being the former championship winning observed trials rider.

Sammy Miller's 2 stroke celebration day - onboard the Suzuki RG500.
After seeing advertised on Facebook the Sammy Miller's 2 stroke celebration day, I considered making the long journey of over 100 miles, through the New Forest to the museum. I'd not visited previously, nor even heard of this place. Without any doubt with over 500 motorcycles and lots of motoring memorabilia, it's fantastic.
The roads on my journey were fantastic, mainly A31 and on a big 2 stroke 500, it was really enjoyable.
I was not disappointed by the turnout. There were lots and lots of bikes, lots classic 2 strokes, from Kawasaki classics, such as the KH range and KR1S and a couple of bikes from the 1940s and even one from 1914. I saw 2 other Suzuki RG500s and chatted to Dave, a lovely owner of a mint, race prepared RG500. Also bumped into Mark, the guy I bought my RG400 from. He was on a mint RG500, in blue and white, 2 ups with his girlfriend. Brave girl!
Absolutely brilliant day out, the bike performed brilliantly.
