I’ve said this before. Sammy should be knighted for his achievements in motorcycling and for his efforts in making the museum such an important part of the preservation of motorcycles.
Sammy gives me such respect for his enthusiasm and passion for life . His details are so perfect. He is still a true champion of the motorcycle world. Cheers mate from Australia 🇦🇺
I thoroughly recommend a visit to the Sammy Miller Museum. I've been twice, but I'm sure I'll be back again to 'lose myself' for a few hours in amongst such fantastic motorcycles.
What a fantastic, informative and straight-talking review of your ongoing work Sammy. I could watch this sort of stuff all day. I'd also give my eye teeth to have a similar workshop set-up! Hope to get down to visit your Museum soon. Take care for now.
Great design by Val. No crappy primary chain. I guess an all iron twin would get hot. Maybe that's why v twins were all the early twins?? Better cooling.
The 7R was a fantastic bike, in my opinion better than the BSA. I remember that era well and earlier, Geoff Duke was my hero, I remember seeing him power sliding his bike through the corners. Glad that the Triumph is going to be running again, however I don't like their approach, making it look like new. Can't see anything wrong with that frame for instance, leave it alone. It's the patna of age that makes the bike, by all means recondition the engine, that's what would have been done in period. A really great video nevertheless.
I remember reading a report from a journalist who test rode a bike acknowledges as Hailwood's TT bike. Hailwood commented that he hated the bike, because the gudgeon pin had failed when he was close to winning the race. Had it not failed, Hailwood would have won all four classes in one year, a rather special feet. The gudgeon pin was enlarged for that year (I think it went from 7/8" to 1"), and proved to be a weak point. It went back to the previous spec.....
Hey Mr Miller did dave fiddaman ever return one of your open face helmets ? Probably not - he's absolutely broke now a owes hundreds of thousands of pounds out - he probably sold your helmet or the bailiffs took it !!

The AJS AR7 is one of the most beautiful bikes ever made. Many thanks for the video.
Thanks Sammy. What treat, as always.
Sounds and looks like a real bike should. Another day in paradise indeed!
The AJS sounds fantastic! I don't think I've ever seen a Page-designed Triumph twin before.
That 7R is gorgeous, Sammy couldn't resist having a ride, goodonyer, Sammy!👍🇦🇺
Just a glorious sound
Sounds like a giant snoring!
Thanks! Sammy🏍
Sammy your a Boss!
Nothing sounds sweeter than a big single with a megaphone for good measure.

I like many other people think that you are a legend. 17 years old again. 👍
Fantastic museum, Sammy is a legend.
Fantastic, what a legend he is for his age, he is amazing.

Rock on Sammy.
Well rebuilt Sammy, that 7R sounded magnificent. I would love to own it.

blimey me and my mate rode from fareham to new milton on our fs1e s nearly 50 yrs ago just to see sammys hondas.
Sammy could have been a world champion in road racing grand prix but he preferred trials and we know how good he was at that greatest ever.
My late father's firm, made all the AJS 7R and Matchless petrol tanks.
Love you Sammy.

Absolutely magnificent. Thank you so much
Fantastic 👍✨🏆

AJS 7Rに跨って走行しだすと生き生きした少年ライダーに見えてくる不思議さ。最高だね🏍
Bravo.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sammy sei il numero uno del motociclismo e del trial soprattutto 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼

I used to own a 1935 Triumph Model 6/1 engine number was V6 420, I sold it the the then Triumph main dealer in Leicester, that was about1973
He still is a 80 +years old 16 year old boy! Drive it as if you stole it!
89
@9:13 - The Triumph a 650 or a 500?
Not a single Norton?
Aw Jasus Start.
I thought it was Prince Philip.
