Sammy Miller Motorcycle Legend (HB) - Description
Quite simply, Sammy Miller is a legend in
his own lifetime, as probably the world's greatest ever all-rounder in
motorcycle sporting events. Not only had Sammy been the most successful trials
rider, with over 1,200 victories, but the Ulster-born star raced at Grand Prix
level for the likes of NSU, FB Mondial, Ducati and CZ. Not content with these
two disciplines, he was a very capable scrambler (motocross) and grass-track
racer.
Back to trials, Sammy rode a wide variety
of machinery, including James, Honda, SWM, Aprilia and Armstrong, but most of
all Ariel and Bultaco. But he did not just ride the bikes, he also developed
them, and in the process changed trials bike design forever.
Besides his competitive career, Sammy Miller
built probably the most successful dirt bike dealership in the UK and has gone on to create the world-renowned Sammy Miller
Museum, which houses both
sporting and street motorcycles.
His restorations are truly meticulous and
are carried out for both the museum and paying customers. If all this is not
enough, Sammy still rides many of his machines in historic events all around
the world. With Sammy Miller: Motorcycle Legend, Mick Walker brings all of
these achievements vividly to life.
