VTR Meet up at Sammy Millers 1st June 25

Post by AMCQ46 »

I have always wanted to take a trip to the Sammy Miller Museum, and I see there is a Vintage Japanese Motorcycle Club (VJMC) meeting there on Sunday June 1st.

What about making sure we get as many Firestorms as possible down there for that event?

It’s down on the south coast near Bournemouth (BH25 5SZ), so a 3hr slog for me, but should be a good day out.

That sounds like a good day out.
I'd be up for the trip down, even if I'd have to park elsewhere as I no longer have a Storm :wink: .
I didn't even know that place existed. It sounds pretty interesting :D

Been there plenty of times with my Dad when he was alive.

He used to ride trials with Sammy and we saw him a few times in the Carpenters arms in Branscore where Sammy and his wife used to dine.

The Museum is fantastic and would love to go, but unfortunately it’s Tracy’s birthday and I don’t think I could get away with that

Yep!,
She's still there. I had the covers off it on the weekend. She's still pretty but the battery is fubared. I'll have to give it some love this spring and give it a proper going over, maybe give it a run down to Sammy Millers :D

Going to a gig in the evening, otherwise I might get have hidden the Aprilia at the back of the car park.
I'd need to be back mid afternoon, so it doesn't fit.

Have a good trip!
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.
