The Sammy Miller Motorcycle Museum

The Sammy Miller Motorcycle Museum houses a huge collection of motorcycles of all descriptions, including some that will be of interest to NACC members. Nick Devonport spent a fascinating day there earlier this year. There’s something for the racing enthusiast and touring people, from the dawn of motorcycling to more modern machines. You might catch a glimpse of the great man himself as he’s still restoring bikes and is often found in the workshop. Show your valid NACC membership card and you’ll get 10% off your entrance fee!
