Footman James has joined forces with one of the world’s largest motorbike museums – in a deal equating to great news for bike fans and customers.
As a classic motorcycle insurance broker, we’ve launched a partnership with the famous Hampshire-based Sammy Miller Motorcycle Museum - home to a mesmerising collection of totally restored, beautiful motorbikes, including striking prototypes and factory racers.
What does it mean for you? 
Museum officials say the partnership means guests will be able to access specialist cover and advice from Footman James - tailored solely to classic vehicle owners.
Owners will then have the chance to mould their policy through FJ+. The choices on offer include ride-to-work insurance, track day, breakdown and agreed value cover.
In addition, one of our team will provide support and networking opportunities – while Footman James will update customers on all the latest museum stories and offers.
