    A TRUE Legend. I remember Sammy racing NSUs in the 1950s on the Wicklow Road Circuit in Ireland.

    Nigh on impossible to counter your assertion that Mr Miller has probably made a greater contribution to the world of motorcycling than any other. I've been lucky enough to see him run his magnificent V4 AJS & Guzzi V8 at Pukekohe in the 1990's. Gold standard legend indeed.

    I was aware of Sammy as often visit the museum but didn’t know he’d be so successful 🎉 Kickstart, the best 80’s TV programme, I can hear the theme tune in my head right now 💚

      He is truly a motorcycle legend! Kickstart did for trials what Pot Black did for snooker! Dare I say, better days for the BBC.

    Great showing Sammy as he was. He was such a friendly guy, willing to talk to people and take time because he loved motorcycles so much

      Hi Tom, thanks for your comment. With the use of past tense, I had to check if he was still with us!😪
      Thankfully, it appears he is 😁

    My hero sammey Miller, since 1961 when I had a trials BSA Bantam, a flat cap and goggles on top of my head and a Belstaff trials jacket. What a great man.

    Sammy Miller and John Surtees.
    Sir Elton John, Sir Rod Stewart, Sir Mick Jagger and Sir Paul McCartney, why is it that people who ride motorcycles, never get the same recognition that people who sing a few songs do.

      Completely agree but we all know there's a lot more to any awards ceremony than merit.

    Trials has gone the same as road racing down hill in door events man made and not as good as the Scottish 6 day trial proper trials.

      Good point. When indoor trials first made an appearance I was, like most people, taken with it. But, as time has passed traditional trials is better. Same with road racing, can't beat the atmosphere at somewhere like Cookstown 100.
