Great video Miller. Thank you for keeping this history alive but most of all, thank you for sharing. I remember reading about you getting your gold medals at different events. You were always top man with me!
Those Triump's are Beautiful Bikes. That Fellow does a Really Good Museum Tour. My Neighbor was selling His 550/ 4 Honda like the green one shown in this video When I was in High School. I wanted it so Badly! But it's a Good thing I didn't get it. I Probably wouldn't be here today. Great Video! Best Wishes! From Montana! M.H
Hi sammy met you a few times and sold my to to 125 fully restored like new through your museums when I lived in Poole though ended up selling to a farmer guy who just through it in his van , it’s was like new and dented the tank , upset me , just wanted it as a farm hack , idiot springs to mind as it was a Sammy spec bike . Some just don’t care about classics , love to see a video the CCM TRIALS BIKE one ide love to own but few exsist 👍🙂
I remember back in the 90's, on a Sunday, they used to get the toys out and ride around the courtyard. This one Sunday they bought out a MV, wow Agostini was a guest and we got to see the man ride it. Great to see so many machines alive and not dusty shelf ornament.
merci Mr Miller , pour votre partage , je suis en Belgique et je vous admire , j'avais lu un article de vous sur une moto Bmw qui avais gagné le TT avant guerre , cette histoire m'avais impressionné . je suis encore en possession d'une Triumph de 1980 T-140 E que j'avais achetée neuve a Alost en flandre Belgique , elle est démontée et mise en boite depuis au moins 20 ans , j'aimerai la refaire , mais petit bémol voir la culasse pour roulé au essence actuel ... encore merci a vous ..
I've got a T160 in bits in the spare bedroom. I'm enthused to rebuild it now, having seen this video. Mines the same colour, but I have black caps instead of the ray guns. Gorjus!
Estando en Londres quize conocer el museo de Sammy, pero no pude por los dias que estaba abierto,, en proximo viaje lo visitare, saludos desde Buenos Aires
As a boy, I worked for W White Triumph dealers in Auckland, where old Bill had his fabled Velocette 500 stored. I was happy with my Triumphs until we took on a Yamaha dealership as well, and I found the YDS3 250 could eat my 64 Thunderbird for breakfast. At one stage I was the proud owner of a Triumph 500 5TR, I think it was. An all alloy motor made for the 6 days trials reputedly. Pissed oil from everywhere. These days I would have kept it for a loving resto, but as kids we just wanted to go fast and it soon made way for something quicker.
He doesn't take any prisoners he's quite right about UK motorcycle production and could say the same for the car industry ;2 stroke triumph first one I've seen and heard
My neighbour made several double overhead cam Triumphs long and short stroke so that is not the only one, I do not know what happened to them though after he died if I remember correctly his name was Westall.
Triumph badged the TRW here in Germany 2 stroke in the fifties, I think 125 upto 350 twins and singles, the Bandit was the answer to the Honda invasion, how did you compare to the 750 cc 4 from the late 60's, friend had the blue one fantastic bike. Great vid thanks.
Just visited the museum ,what an awesome place all the bikes are so well presented and Sammy miller was there tinkering with them,what a legend 👍🏻
Great video Miller. Thank you for keeping this history alive but most of all, thank you for sharing. I remember reading about you getting your gold medals at different events. You were always top man with me!
I like that little two stroke twin Triumph! 👍🏻🇬🇧
Great video. Looking forward to visiting the museum soon. Many thanks.
Been to this museum twice. Excellent.
Give this young lad a mainstream primetime tv programme and make it worth while paying a tv licence fee
We are watching him now. Tv is a dying thing.

Any chance of a video on the old bultacos you must have nearly all of them

I choked on my tea with his description of the Triumph sprung hub as an "abortion".
Gold Sammy, couldn't have put it better myself.
Wonderful
He doesn't take any prisoners he's quite right about UK motorcycle production and could say the same for the car industry ;2 stroke triumph first one I've seen and heard

If you can possibly get to Sammy's museum, do so. You won't regret it!
Yeah, I heard about it last year and will go when we are out of this lockdown and free to ride!
