Story


This year was the third show we have hosted at Sammy Miller's Museum. We run a group on Facebook where we now have 14,500 members from all around the world.
The event started as a way for members to meet each other and show
off their motorcycles.

The show is funded by ourselves and all monies raised goes to The Stars Appeal charity at Salisbury hospital, in remembrance of Bob Andrews. Over £4,365.11 has been raised to date.  The 2018 collection will be donated to the Benson suite, for families who sadly experience loss of  baby at Salisbury Hospital. 

The day is very popular and we attracted over 600 motorcycles of all marques this year. We had Allen Millyard ride in with friends on 6 of his creations, along with two new Brough Superiors and the Viscount from Eric Patterson, BRT racing with a selection of their classic race bikes, Norman White's JP Norton, Bournemouth Kawasaki Racing brought James Hillier's TT bikes, a local group displayed their vintage speedway
bikes and we were delighted to have Hollis motorcycles join us for
the first time. Live music was courtesy of The Treblemakers

6 Trophies were presented, 4 chosen by independent judges for the best bikes and 2 by ourselves, this year they were awarded to Sammy Miller and BRT Racing for their achievement above and beyond in promoting
motorcycling to the next generation.

Next year 24th June 2018 we already have new exhibitors signed up -
Redmax Speedshop, VP Motorcycles, Campbell Exhausts and we are still awaiting confirmation from 3 other companies to join our regular guests. We would be happy to hear from any collectors or clubs who are interested in having a display, all we ask is a prize donation for our charity raffle.
