1927 Zehnder Engine Disassembly.. and more!

[@garethlush5300]

Brings back so many memories for me. I worked for Sammy as a young man from 1988 to 1992 and used to spend many hours listening and watching Sammy and his old mechanic, Bob Stanley, restoring the museum bikes. I love these videos as I remember being there! What’s incredible is that Sammy seems to have hardly aged! And that smile when he pops a wheelie on the BSA… please pass on my regards to Sammy and I will get down to see him soon!

Thank you for your generosity. What an awesome dude.

24:21 That smile, I swear Mr Miller looked about 30 years old. What a hero! Thankyou to everyone for putting these videos together, the information is priceless.

"That smile" ... Hahaha you beat me too it :) These videos can only grow in popularity - always interesting, and always pleasurable to watch. Worth sharing with others ;)

[@JohnBennett-cw1ri]

I’ve always found Halfords pretty good for pre-war bike bits.

[@kevinscudamore2711]

You were my hero in the 70 s still my hero now after watching your video smile on your face says it all👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

[@davidjimenez2996]

Mr. Miller, you are a true scholar, and my hero. I am enjoying your videos like a kid who's found an open cookie jar. I hope I can grow younger to be a bit like you someday

Age 16 and at the 1965 Hutchinson 100 races at Silverstone I think maybe you rode a Bultaco at that meeting. I remember it poured with rain all day. Looking at the programme I said to a friend, "is that the same Sammy Miller who does trials riding?" Thank you so much for these videos and for all the hard work and effort you put into the preservation of these machines you love. Not just as silent exhibits but living and breathing machines that come alive and become real with movement .

That's it, I'm up to date and have watched all of Sammy's videos. What a real privilege to see such a mine of information at work. I'm a mere child of 54 years but already I feel like I've fallen badly behind on knowledge accumulation. Heartfelt thanks.

Hello Sir Miller, thanks for your videos... I am also a lucky owner of a 1927 Zehnder Paris-Nice model bike... I am very interested to see the restauration job that you are going to do on yours, and I am looking forward to see the progress... about le Zehnder logo, it is a big J that crossing a Z and an S it is for Jakob Zehnder and Sons, the compagny name in 1912 best regards from Switzerland, Laurent Zehnder

[@frankmiller668]

Just found your web site, great stuff ! Frank Miller here always a fan of you when I became a young rider In late sixties. Rode a Bultaco Matador 250 always thought I would want to ride as good as you did. I'm 66yrs young now and still in good enough shape to ride long distances if I wish to. Carry On Sammy. Frank from Toronto Canada Keep The Passion..

Been to the museum so many times and always looked through the window to try and see you but never managed to . Nice to have managed it at last thanks to KZbin.

[@philgreen5ges]

[@T6Badger]

Fantastic video, lovely insight to the older bikes. Looking forward to more and getting back to the museum when we're allowed.

[@yourealwaysright6770]

[@flatbrokefrank6482]

Yes good point the brake shoes in those AMC hubs were only 1/2 inch wide - Stay safe

[@erictornberg1989]

Keep up the good work

[@garytaylor4014]

What an absolute gift to have found this channel! Thank you so much for sharing. I'm new to the motorcycles but this is an excellent opportunity to learn a lot. Absolutely fascinating

[@alistairmclauchlan7063]

Another great video

[@williamdenton7288]

Fantastic video, your knowledge and enthusiasm are priceless. Hope to visit when we are allowed to.

[@BIG-K]

That was fascinating. Thank you! 👍

[@billycaspersghost7528]

I remember some small makers producing kit bikes , Sprite I think were one and I recall a firm that I think was called Dalesman ? Was it something to do with avoiding tax , purchase tax or sales tax ? This was before we had VAT .

[@timtimecollector9808]

Very interesting video, I've still got a pair of Sammy Miller gloves bought 25 years ago. I still use them on cycle rides, sadly I sold my trials bike a long time ago.

[@Normal_Wisdom]

Please consider installing a fire safety sprinkler system or similar to this wonderful museum.

[@mrsgizmo83]

Zehnder are still in business to this day, but these days that are more well known for the Charleston radiator

[@jamesheron2034]

I raced a Pursang half of a century ago & I named my son after him 43 years ago.

[@jamesheron2034]

I had two cats back then [bro & sis]. Her name was Sherpa. His was Pursang.

[@routmaster38]

Same here on the sand too.Bultaco and Montessa were fast in the late seventies just before Honda,s Elsinor Red Devil came along and very much faster due to better bigger transfer ports and massive reed valves!

You never see a motorcycle parked outside a psychiatrists !
