Welcome to this special documentary featuring the genius engineer Allen Millyard. Allen is behind some of the wackiest bike creations, including his award-winning ‘Flying Millyard’, which is powered by a gigantic, 5.0-litre V-twin engine designed for an aeroplane. It resembles a two-wheeled Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and was magically created in his suburban garage in Berkshire.
Editor of Classic Motorcycle Mechanics, Bertie Simmonds, went to visit Allen's home to find out how he got started, view some of his creations and find out how he accomplishes everything without the use of a huge industrial workshop.
Filmed in 2019.

Indeed, but youngsters of the same period shared a similar outlook; get a bike, have some fun, mod it to go faster and try not to fall off! Biking then was about discovery and having fun, which is why so many folks of that era want to keep living it. I learnt to ride a Honda SS50 around a field! Great stuff...

This guy has to be the greatest living engineer in the UK at this time. How many people can conceive the most preposterous motorcycle designs and then go on to build them from scratch with the most exquisite attention to detail. A unique and talented eccentric in the Great British tradition. Why are we importing vehicles when we can produce engineering talent like this...?

@GT380man 8 месяцев назад

Unlike Germany and Japan, to pull relevant comparisons out of the air, Britain no longer regards these attributes as a source of pride. In those countries, “engineer”, at the level we’re witnessing here, is seen as a profession with as much automatic status as a doctor or a lawyer. Our hierarchical social structure tends to see posh Classics & Greats scholars as the pinnacle of accomplishment, and a grubby handed mech eng as akin to plumbers of electricians. Not that these guys aren’t also worthy of respect.

The way he does what he does with so few tools speaks volumes. Reminds me of when I was younger and had to work with the limitations of basic tools. It proves the most important tool you have is your mind, apply it the right way you can tackle anything. Allen's honesty and humility is refreshing, absolutely no ego.

What a great interview. I only found Allen some months ago and have to say he is one bloody brilliant shed-engineer. Never seen such a guy before in my life. My uncle was very immaculate from his 1956 mb 190 and had almost the same set of mind. Built things in his carage and kept my hometowns car museum alive till his passing few years ago. Damn Allen, you are a top man and what you said about tools - "why would you need more than these". Cheers from Finland!!!
