From News..

Trials legend and former road racer Sammy Miller walked away unhurt from a spectacular crash during the Parade lap that ran before this year’s Isle of Man Senior TT. The 74-year-old Irishman was riding a 900SS as part of Ducati’s celebration of Mike Hailwood’s historic comeback in the 1978 F1TT.

“I came out of the shade as I rounded Waterworks bend and I was blinded by the sun,” explains Sammy. “I just couldn’t see where the road was going and before I knew it I was airborne.”

Sammy landed on heather and gorse bushes, which prevented him from falling down the cliff into the sea below. Neither bike nor rider suffered too many scratches. “Being a trials rider comes in useful some times,” joked Sammy.

Sammy was a works rider for Mondial and was leading the Lightweight TT in 1957 when he dropped his bike at Governor’s Bridge on the last lap. He remounted to finish fifth, and third in the 250cc World Championship.

He’s now back at work at his museum in New Milton, Hampshire, England. When asked what his wife, Rosemary, had to say about his escapade he replied: “Let’s just say the words ‘bloody,‘ ‘old’ and ‘fool’ featured in the conversation!”

Top stuff. Riding my dream bike too. Glad he's alright.

I soooooooooooooooooooooooooo want a black 900SS. I can't believe the ridiculous prices they're fetching now.

Old Sammy is a superstar serious respect to him. Used to ride up to Sports Motorcycles in Manchester to slaver over the 900SS in the 70s.
