Overview

Quite simply, Sammy Miller was the greatest trials rider the world has ever seen, winning over 1400 events. Not only this but the Ulster-born star was also a works racer for NSU, FB Mondial, Ducati and CZ; plus a very capable scrambler (moto-cross) and grass-track racer. Back to trials, Sammy rode a variety of machinery including James, Honda, SWM, Aprilia and Armstrong; but most of all Bultaco and Ariel. Today, in his mid-70s, he runs the world famous Sammy Miller Museum, which houses a unique collection of motorcycles. Add to that his appearances in classic events and you have a truly unique man.
