Mesmerising. his knowledge & skills are fantastic and a joy to watch. So interesting.

[@tonyfurneaux3399]

Pure admiration, what a man, the knowledge this man has, is huge. A joy to see, WOW. Respect to the greatest generation.

[@normasnockers323]

That looked like a Triumph 2000 lathe... 45 years since i used one! Sammy youve got some patience!

[@routmaster38]

Yes and energy too!

Best classic bike restoration videos I’ve seen sammy might be in his 80s but he’s like a lad in his 40s great pair of hands cheers

[@leecourt8509]

Sammy explains what he is doing so clearly. Fascinating to watch. I need a workshop like this and a mentor like him!

[@archetypex65]

What a great video series Sammy so glad you are doing these. Sharing your wisdom, knowledge, experience and the history. The history is so important. 👍🙂 thank you Mr Miller!

I’m really enjoying these videos. I’m going to make sure the museum is the destination of my first ride out of lockdown.

I wish I lived closer to Sammy's museum as it's a wonderful place to visit. I think we can all learn something about keeping young at heart from him. Oh, and did I mention... Sammy had the best hair in Grand Prix racing. There's a fab picture of him and Jeff Duke in one of my Norton history books 😊

[@brockett]

Wow! These videos are a wonder.

I fix my damaged hex bolts in a vice with a file. If you're careful it's a quick and easy job. Definitely worth doing when the correct sized spanner becomes too small to fit over the damaged bolt.

A Yamaha 600 single I bought had big gauge spokes and cracked rims from a Gorilla.
