Ians Ramblings

Had a brilliant time down at Sammy Miller’s museum in the New Forest. Saw a huge array of Italian bikes there, and loads more in the museum.

Certainly worth a visit if you are down in the area!, they seem to have a lot of different events going on down there.

I took my Ducati and was able to park it in the Italian bikes only section hehe so people could view it. I particularly liked the little bikes, the Maserati and the Itom.

Another excellent year of the Thundersprint, second time I have been, seemed a little larger than last year even. Steve Parish was there for the first time this year, and was quick around the circuit.

Not as quick as Chris Walker on the Norton Commando though, how cool is it to see Norton’s out and about again and performing this well.

The pic i have included here is Sammy Miller’s Honda RC181 Mike Hailwood replica, I think this is the best sounding vehicle i’ve ever heard.

The NC30 performed brilliantly today too, I should have entered into the cavalcade, I think I will do next year. The new battery has made so much difference to the old girl.
