June 23rd will see the first official Rickman Enthusiasts’ Day at the legendary Sammy Miller Motorcycle Museum in Hampshire
Set within line of sight of the old Rickman factory in New Milton, the museum provides the ideal venue for what promises to be a unique and historic event.
Born from an idea forged by a group of Rickman owners in June 2018 when they met at the museum during a Bike Life event, the Rickman Enthusiast’s Day has gathered interest from around the world, and most importantly by the brothers, Don and Derek themselves. The idea is to gather as many Rickman bikes as possible for a rally and invite the family, and local ex-factory workforce to come and oversee the event.
Apart from a huge array of Rickman bikes on show, there will be associated traders and a Rickman ‘bring and buy’ stall.
Needless to say, all other bikes will be welcome and there will of course be plenty of parking for visitors arriving by car.
There will a number of trophies to be awarded for various classes on the day and there will be two charities the event will be fundraising for; The Hampshire Air Ambulance and the local Oakhaven Hospice, both of which were nominated by Don and Derek themselves.
For bikes to be eligible for judging there will be a registration fee (proceeds to the charities) and they will have to be pre-booked via the booking form at the Museum or online via email or the event’s Facebook page.
The event and the amazing museum will be open to the public from 10.00 am to 4.00 pm and there will be food and refreshments available on the day.
To register your Rickman, please contact Russ Gannicott at triaxiom@btconnect.com to get Paypal payment details.
Registration for each Rickman motorcycles will be £6.00.

The 1955 250cc Sportmax NSU and the 1957 250cc Mondial
The 1955 250cc Sportmax NSU (Photo 1)
In 1956 Sammy was leading the TT at the Creg Ny Baa.The 1956 Isle of Man TT was the first round of the 1956 Grand Prix motorcycle racing season. It took place between 4 June and 8 June 1956 at the Snaefell Mountain Course for the Senior and Junior TTs and the Clypse Course for the Lightweight, Ultra Lightweight and Sidecar TTs.
Only about 20 genuine Sportmax machine were built and their riders included many of the top riders of the day including John Surtees, Mike Hailwood and Sammy Miller. Sammy's fantastic record on his fully-faired Sportmax includes second place in the 1955 and 1956 Ulster GPs, three consecutive victories in the North-West 200 and more than 35 other wins in Irish road races.
Riding the TT in 1957 on his 250cc Mondial (Photo 2)
The 1957 Lightweight TT Race held on the Clypse Course was over 10 laps and 107.90 miles and was dominated by Cecil Sandford riding for the F.B.Mondial marque and team-mate Sammy Miller. By lap 2, Sandford led Miller by 2 seconds and Tarquinio Provini, also riding for Mondial, in a distant 3rd place. By lap 7, Miller had caught up and on lap 9 passed Sandford between the Creg-ny-Baa and Ballacoar Corner for the lead. At Governor's Bridge on the last lap, Miller slipped off his Mondial, allowing Sandford to win the 1957 Lightweight TT Race at an average race speed of 75.80 mph from the MV Agusta pair of Luigi Taveri and Roberto Colombo. An exhausted Miller is forced to push-in his Mondial to finish in 5th place.
Both these wonderful bikes can be seen in the Museum.
