Here are a few pics from the Sammy Miller motorcycle museum in Hampshire. A true testament to British engineering and the motorcycle industry from days gone by. I didn't realise half of these machines existed!

Here are some pics of Folkestone marina, I really did enjoy the English coastal towns (didn't think much of cities and suburbia though).
