The Big Reveal! Mike Hailwood's AJS 7R

[@lesteraizlewood8457]

Nothing sounds sweeter than a big single with a megaphone for good measure.

[@pabloricardodetarragon2649]

The AJS AR7 is one of the most beautiful bikes ever made. Many thanks for the video.

I’ve said this before. Sammy should be knighted for his achievements in motorcycling and for his efforts in making the museum such an important part of the preservation of motorcycles.

[@tristanbuckoke9121]

Sammy gives me such respect for his enthusiasm and passion for life . His details are so perfect. He is still a true champion of the motorcycle world. Cheers mate from Australia 🇦🇺

[@pedrothewise2584]

blimey me and my mate rode from fareham to new milton on our fs1e s nearly 50 yrs ago just to see sammys hondas.

[@williamnethercott4364]

The AJS sounds fantastic! I don't think I've ever seen a Page-designed Triumph twin before.

[@fredfarnackle5455]

That 7R is gorgeous, Sammy couldn't resist having a ride, goodonyer, Sammy!👍🇦🇺

[@buddhastaxi666]

Im 70, ride a Triumph. Sammy is nearly 90 and rides everything!

[@davidlutton4560]

What a fantastic, informative and straight-talking review of your ongoing work Sammy. I could watch this sort of stuff all day. I'd also give my eye teeth to have a similar workshop set-up! Hope to get down to visit your Museum soon. Take care for now.

The 7R was a fantastic bike, in my opinion better than the BSA. I remember that era well and earlier, Geoff Duke was my hero, I remember seeing him power sliding his bike through the corners. Glad that the Triumph is going to be running again, however I don't like their approach, making it look like new. Can't see anything wrong with that frame for instance, leave it alone. It's the patna of age that makes the bike, by all means recondition the engine, that's what would have been done in period. A really great video nevertheless.

Thanks Sammy. What treat, as always.

[@trevjones1315]

I like many other people think that you are a legend. 17 years old again. 👍

[@rickfazzini22]

Sammy your a Boss!

[@peter7624]

Sounds and looks like a real bike should. Another day in paradise indeed!

[@classicraceruk1337]

Well rebuilt Sammy, that 7R sounded magnificent. I would love to own it.

[@brianperry]

Just a glorious sound

[@peter7624]

Sounds like a giant snoring!

[@chrisball3634]

My late father's firm, made all the AJS 7R and Matchless petrol tanks.

[@ianh.6825]

I thoroughly recommend a visit to the Sammy Miller Museum. I've been twice, but I'm sure I'll be back again to 'lose myself' for a few hours in amongst such fantastic motorcycles.

[@kingoffunelvispresley261]

Good projects 🤗 & All ur Bike's Come Out Perfect 💨🏆🏅🏆🏅🏆

[@terranceprice7006]

I used to own a 1935 Triumph Model 6/1 engine number was V6 420, I sold it the the then Triumph main dealer in Leicester, that was about1973

[@TheBas1984]

He still is a 80 +years old 16 year old boy! Drive it as if you stole it!

[@rudiknapen4867]

89

[@pashakdescilly7517]

I remember reading a report from a journalist who test rode a bike acknowledges as Hailwood's TT bike. Hailwood commented that he hated the bike, because the gudgeon pin had failed when he was close to winning the race. Had it not failed, Hailwood would have won all four classes in one year, a rather special feet. The gudgeon pin was enlarged for that year (I think it went from 7/8" to 1"), and proved to be a weak point. It went back to the previous spec.....

[@martindavies8326]

Fantastic museum, Sammy is a legend.

[@brentnearhood8874]

Thanks! Sammy🏍

[@ianseddon9347]

How have o not found Sammy’s channel before today? A super video of two great bikes and the greatest living rider !! Thank you Sammy

[@redtobertshateshandles]

Great design by Val. No crappy primary chain. I guess an all iron twin would get hot. Maybe that's why v twins were all the early twins?? Better cooling.

[@Lanes-Explorer5733]

Absolutely magnificent. Thank you so much

[@eslermanu47]

Sammy could have been a world champion in road racing grand prix but he preferred trials and we know how good he was at that greatest ever.

[@clarehennessey3653]

Love you Sammy.

[@EssexCountyPhoto]

Gloves and helmets. Always. Because oterwise, my taxes pay for some idiot's A&E bills and skin grafts.

[@raymaulder7383]

Fantastic, what a legend he is for his age, he is amazing.

[@billbalchin]

Rock on Sammy.

[@gianpaoloconcina2668]

Sammy sei il numero uno del motociclismo e del trial soprattutto 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼

[@三昧]

AJS 7Rに跨って走行しだすと生き生きした少年ライダーに見えてくる不思議さ。最高だね🏍

[@mfitzgerald130]

Fantastic 👍✨🏆

[@bigred8438]

@9:13 - The Triumph a 650 or a 500?

[@maxstarbuck4594]

Not a single Norton?

[@MiroslavSpacek-mh2df]

Bravo.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@debbiewright2171]

Hey Mr Miller did dave fiddaman ever return one of your open face helmets ? Probably not - he's absolutely broke now a owes hundreds of thousands of pounds out - he probably sold your helmet or the bailiffs took it !!
