Sammy Miller Motorcycle Museum - 24 June 2018
There is a 'Bike Life' meet at Sammy Millers, New Milton, Hants, BH25 5SZ. on Sunday 24 June 10:00 to 15:30. Just another summer bike meet, ho hum. Except the organisers are a husband and wife team who both ride 961s.
A potential gathering for those of us in the South/South West of this Sceptred Isle who like to oggle other, as well as our own, Nortons. I'm in, any other interest?
 
Yes does sound good, more than one biking legend attending, particularly Allen Millyyard the Can Do bike creator ,hope u other keen bikers from around the world have looked this guy up by now,Kawasaki oringinally told him what he did on one of his bike projects couldn’t be done , any ol how yep Stuart my hand is up for this one ,thank u for looking ahead & keeping the momentum going, National Motorcycle Museum is still of interest for me
 
Sorry Stuart that’s the date I am taking the ferry to start a two week bike trip otherwise would have been a definite yes. Excellent choice of venue hopefully be ok for next one. Hope it goes well
 
Would love to go but I think that would put my back out of action for the remainder of the year!

A two-day anything involving bikes usually ends up with me and the missus at fisticufs and she knows where the rolling pin is kept :) I usually go 'commando' when there's a hint of rain, nothing worse than damp undercrackers lol

I’m feel sure, if you ask nicely, Blighty will write you a note to be excused husband duties for the duration

Just a nudge to u guys & girls off to this great venue , only 5 days to go, plenty of photos please, bonus for a bunch of 961,s revving up ,I’m off to France again this weekend with Mrs Blighty to be , but will come to july meet, National Motorcycle Museum ??? Absolute central in UK, well England anyway ,coming to a town near you soon , so let’s keep up the momentum ,& here’s 3 that we prepared earlier
 
Hello Richard , Great seeing all of those 961's parked up together like that . That gives me a real sense that really are making bikes ! Riding together would be even greater. I know of only one other Norton 961 in the state of Wisconsin and I saw him riding it once.
 
A good day out, breakfast in Salisbury with the Lincolnshire Poacher followed a very pleasant run down through the New Forest, dodging some cows in the road grazing the hedgerow. Saw three other 961s. Shout out to Hester who has this rather sweet and very new CR and to glb and Terry who we bumped into in the cafe. A good meet, well supported with apparently 1400 visitors attending, most on bikes of all sorts and sizes and having to spill over into the car parks as all the dedicated bike parking, of which there was plently, became absolutely stuffed. ( See Bike Life Classics FB page for oodles of other pics).
Took a run down to Poole Quay afterwards to sample the cool sea breeze and enjoy an oversize ice cream.

An owner from Devon arrived on this rare 961, not seen a green one before, apparently only two in the country. Not a forum member but NOC Devon Branch member bemoaning the lack of interest in the event from his fellow club members.
