Glen,

If you have and extra hour while you are down at Beaulieu, check out Sammy 
Miller's Motorcycle Museum. It is close by in the New Forest area and well 
worth the visit even if you are not a motorcyclist.

Sammy Miller Museum,
 Bashley Cross Roads, 
New Milton, Hampshire, BH25 5SZ

Travel safely,

John Hardy 
San Diego, CA
