Smokin' to Sammy's
Sammy Miller's Museum 2 stroke day 2024 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 with a couple of friends. The museum is amazing and the 2 stroke turn out was brilliant, maybe even better than last year. Definitely a better event than last, as Sammy was out and about and did a tour of his workshop. He also started up 3 super rare 2 stroke racing classics. A Jawa, Konig and a Crescent. Amazing bikes to look at and even better to hear. Lots of other Kawasakis, Suzukis, Yamahas and Hondas, came along.
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, some real vintage classics, as well as the usual mass of RDs.
Absolutely brilliant day out, the bike performed brilliantly.
It was a real treat to meet and chat with Sammy Miller. At 90 years old, an amazing man, still very active and passionate about bikes.

Thanks so much. So pleased to hear that you enjoyed watching. The ride there and back wasn't the best this year. A bit damp in places going down and some awful traffic coming back, but what a fantastic event. It made for a brilliant day.
