Not only legendary mnotorcycles, but Sammy Miller himself is a man with legendary motorcycle knowledge and a fine gentleman. Thanks sir, for all your work and sharing your knowledge with us.
New Imperial were bought out by Triumph and everything was moved to Coventry just in time for the Second World War and the Blitz on Coventry which destroyed all the records and tools for both Triumph an New Imperial.
My goodness, I wish I had done the things Sammy has done! I've restored a BMW R1100RS (almost) and although I don't ride anymore, I just can't let it go. See you all at Poole harbour in the weeks ahead.
Such a treasure trove. I'm intending to ride down and feast on all your wonderful eye candy this September Mr. Miller. Two of my favourite topics combined: Motorcycles & history.
I hawe 3 bikes. One norton. One Triumph and one AJS. Oldest is the norton its a 1948model 350cc Triumph is a 1951/52 model 350cc Ajs is a 1954/55 model 500cc All been races on Isle of Man 1948 to 1955.
I Love love love seeing the old pics not to mention Miller in his leathers! What a treasure trove of memories and knowledge, respect mate, hopefully we can all do our part to pass some of this on to the younger lads.
Yeah the museum is great you can really take your time. You can pop out to get a drink or food at the cafe and then go back in to look at more bikes. Staff are really chilled and relaxed. Wonderful place.
We should be thankfull that Sam is still so eloquent and active with a memory that still comes out with stories from long ago few people in their ninties are so fortunate.
He's having a long and successful life. He probably doesn't want to sound like an egotistical narcissist. A peevish comment. I enjoy his content. I hope you do too!
Third person tense,much better than I did this,and I did that,I think we can allow Sammy this eccentricity.I went to the museum last year and would recommend it for a bike enthusiast
