On Sunday 4th July at the Sammy Miller Museum.
Just called them, it's still on and the museum is open too.

unsurprisingly website is ..sammymiller.co.uk
 
We took the V10 Sport and were a bit disappointed when about 15 miles before we got there the exhaust cross over fractured, made it a bit noisy but didn't stop us. (Just asked Mistral if they'll give me a discount on a replacement........yes I know)

It's a good day out, everything there from a Munch Mammoth to early bikes that were just that, a bicycle with a little motor attached, many guzzisti there for a chat too. (Thanks for the 100th anniversary sticker.)

Eventually it was time to go and we went back to the now very noisy V10, I put it in gear and...... the gear change ball joint sheared off.

Called the AA, got a ride home truck booked for about 3 hours later, never breakdown on a Sunday by the coast.

Sammy went past and we had a chat, he had a look at the problem and agreed there was no way to bodge it for a 100 mile ride home.

He went past again about an hour later and said, oh no you're still here, bring it over to the workshop, I'm sure I can fix it.

And he did, he removed the sheared ball joint, fitted a new one, got the old thread out of the gear lever and put in a new socket screw.

We are both very grateful to Sammy for saving our day out and will certainly be visiting again, with 400+ bikes there's plenty to see and we now know what a great owner the museum has.
