@@Prashantlunawat How? By the beauty of it, and even more by expanding the concept of what beauty is, and more, by expanding the mind beyond what was once thought possible. Further, it takes droll humour further into the realm material existence, thus sitting philosophy back in the saddle where Robert Persig rightly put it with his book, "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance"
@@MrPotatochips4 it makes the motorcycling world a better place. Not necessarily the whole world. I'm a motorcyclist myself and get the enthusiasm but making generalised statements romanticizing motorcycling doesn't seem to work well. I mean, yeah it sounds grandiose and all that, whatever floats your boat man
I think Allen said it was his Chitty Chitty, Bang bang bike, I have to say it's an evocative sounding motor. I like old sounding bikes, even though I don't own any.
Allen , great video as per usual. I remember learning the hard way in the early 70's that North America,n issue Phillips screwdrivers should NOT be used on J.I.S. screws used on Japanese motorcycles. Glad you mentioned JIS and the heads of those screws look as pristine as pristine could be ! Allen thanks for all you do !! 65 year old lifelong motorcyclist / auto mechanic here in Coldwater Ontario Canada enjoying yet another fantastic Millyard video. Cheers !!
"The only man in the world that can cut a straight line with a hacksaw." No truer words ever spoken. By the way, what's the redline on the Flying Millyard? 250 RPM??
@@AllenMillyard At the very low RPM's you were driving over the circuit it sounded more like a steam engine. sounds almost impossible for a petrol engine, not stalling. Very cool.
Reminds me of a line from the Kawi movie 'Stone' 1974: "when you bake a cupcake man, when you bake a cupcake hard and fast... it's like nothing else really matters!"
I love this show. You just couldn't get a more contrasting mix (of things we're interested in) of motorcycle engineering, love of bikes, love of cup cakes and wildlife in our gardens. A unique combination. Great stuff.
I have to agree with your loyal viewers, your channel is an absolute jewel, a real pleasure. I really do miss my motorcycling days, 30 or so years, many of them with bikes as my only transport. Camping gear, a decent bike and the open road, especially back in the days when Brit tourists still waved at each other on much emptier roads. Anyone remember the dear old Triumph Tiger 650, the original with one super-easy to tune carb? Or the wonderful ferry from Algeciras to North Africa and that gorgeous road south through what was then the Spanish Sahara? Happy Days ...
Aha. Two consummate professionals at work. The “Cupcake Queen” and the “King of Engineering “. Gotta say, that was a nifty trick the way Tracey weighed the flour. Give her her own 5 minute segment on each show, You’ll both become even more famous! Great to see you back.
Great vid Allen. So glad you emphasized the use of a "JIS" screw driver. I have spent too many hours removing mashed up screws after they have been attacked by a Phillips, or Pozi drive head!!
It's amazing how few folks know about the JIS screwdrivers and how difficult they are to find (out of Japan), especially when you think how many Japanese vehicles there are around... :-)
Probably one of the few bike builders that builds bikes for the pure enjoyment of it. Always a pleasure to watch your videos. Can we have a new build please.
Another astonishing day in the life of Allen, I suppose his mouth was watering as much as mine when the second rasher of cherries went into the cupcakes. Enjoyed, cheers and good health to you and your family Allen!
I'm sorry to be pedantic, but for the good of mankind I feel the need to point out that, however tasty they may be, cherries definitely do not come in rashers!
HI Allen, I made your wife's cupcake recipe a couple weeks ago. They didn't turn out but I tried it again today with a couple slight modifications and they turned out great! My son said these are the best dessert he's had in weeks! Thank you for actually posting a shot of the recipe.
Really great to see the Flying Millyard in action - what a beast - and then even having a big movie star, like Jason Momoa sitting on it. He should be honored to be granted such a privilege.
14:54 just sums it up entirely, mans just cuts up engines in half and weld' em together like it's nuthin Are we also talking about the crankshaft straightenin' by hand/eye and its within a thou...
Loved the video. Fettling the Kawasaki and mentioning JIS screws! Cupcakes, cherries, doves, English country lanes, the amazing Flying Millyard, a glimpse of the fun at Goodwood that I’ve never seen before, especially period costumes, a lap of the circuit, trouble with the law, baby birds and hedgehogs. What a pleasure, Allen. Thank you so much.
That Kawasaki sounds well , cakes , where would we be without cakes ? Good wood , one day I'll get dressed up and get there to appreciate the machinery and the atmosphere 👍🇬🇧
Big wood pigeons are so funny to watch waddling in the yard, especially after Wallace and Grommet when grommet is spying and the bird with the rubber glove on the head stares at him 😅🇬🇧👍
Hi Allen, over the moon to see you utilise your "grass" workbench again with the pigeons as company. That Kawasaki just looks and sounds gorgeous. Goodwood looked fab as usual, the Spitfires amazing, good to see the Flying Millyard attracting lots of attention. Hope the cupcakes tasted as good as they looked by the way, Mrs M is a cupcake wizard. Great video, cheers, Alex.
I was interested to see you putting in the new fibre clutch plates dry - I'd always soaked them in new oil first, otherwise suffered grabby/sticky clutch initially. Those twisty B roads look great fun (once dry). Excellent stuff as always.
@@patrickrose1221........those bits of corners, where the road polishes under corner loads........always good when it's mixed with a nicely warn man hole cover.
Allen I love your videos always thoroughly entertaining and informative, I used to ride bikes in the 70-80 and the selection of bike’s engines I’m now into boats outboards but still have a effection for the classic bikes you work on. My wife is similar to yours crocheting and baking happy days thanks for all your contribution
I love your show it has a grand variety and excellently narrated. as an engineer who enjoys motorcycles as well as cooking and wild life, I find your show hits all the marks. I look forward to the next one, thank you.
Nature and Cookery lessons, and a bit about Motorbikes, brilliant stuff, and just like all your other vids, Allen 100% entertaining, please dont ever change the format
Always great! These videos help with keeping up on long term projects, thanks for posting your work, plus the fun and opportunities your creations bring to you.
Just watching the last bit with you riding the Flying Millyard round the track had me thinking its the two wheel version of Duncan Pittaway's Beast of Turin , just the lazy revs but making good progress. Tea,cupcakes and engines a great recipe...
Allen, you remind me of my dad so much. My dad was an aviation engineer and project planner and I lost him in march 2020 age 81, I have inherited the workshop and have an overhead milling machine, Oxford student lathe, boxford shaping machine, hydraulic hacksaw and I just want to do my dad proud and learn how to use this machinery properly. I know you're familiar with Steve parish and Im guessing you know Tony malthouse who taught me a lot as he lives locally to me also. It's a shame he has retired now. I want to learn the old skills to keep them alive into the future, maybe o can teach this to the next generation also.
Woop!! Great to see this again!! Love the look, the sound and the fact that it was the first Allen vlog series I watched, introducing me to this ace channel!! Hope you had a great Summer Allen! Ready for a shed based Winter of more amazing work?
"The only man who can cut a straight line with a hacksaw in the world". he is about right you know hahaha i do allot of engine work and bike projects but i dont imagine my self cutting the cuts you do and stay straight :O impressive ! great content love the videos
The "Flying Millyard" has a decidedly helicopter sound when chugging along. Does that mean it is technically a chopper? Great video, I missed ya! Thanks for sharing.
Fantastic entertainment, the Kawasaki is awesome and the trip to Goodwood. The Flying Millyard literally idling around the circuit was astounding. Thanks for sharing.
Never had a motorbike but always tinkered with cars. Find this so interesting and relaxing. I Absolutely love this channel. Be lovely to spend a day with Allen you'd learn so much Thanks Allen 👍
Hey Allen Millyard! Greetings from Vancouver British Columbia Canada! Cherries in the cupcakes is like more cylinders in the engine! Its always better with more! Ride ride ride!
Thanks again Allen - ever so much! All your Kawi's are the most desireable, and I am reminded of being an Aussie 'Stone' type bikie in the late 70's and early 80's whenever your Kawi's are featured on your channel.
You're Genius, All the details of all your videos are just perfect and you bikes and creations are absolutely wonderful. I admire you with all my heart and i send a big hug from Argentina. Greetings
What a wonderful video Sir, working on your Kawasaki, making and eating cupcakes (yum) and enjoying a weekend with a bunch of motorheads. Thank you for sharing it with us.
I still can't get over the 6cyl sound this particular engine makes, between the custom made engine & exhaust. It's even better than the really early flat 6 Goldwings with all the fairings, panels and covers off. Starting right at 4,000rpm on this "Millyard Kawasaki" I could listen to that all day! Has a yell to it that reminds me of a high revving Ford 289 coming into the cam
Excellent video, pigeons, cupcakes, a monster V-twin, a screaming straight 6, the coolest actor at the moment having a HUGE honour of sitting on (possibly) the coolest bike ever built, gorgeous spitfires and Greta track Allen down 😂 👌 👍
I innocently tuned into the video to see the clutch overhaul, only to be confronted with the artistic creation of luscious cupcakes. Two expert craftspeople in one household! I‘m now dealing with a massiv case of the munchies and all the shops are closed.
I don’t know who’s better to watch Tracy making cup cakes or you tinkling about with motorcycles engines lol 😆 I had a Kawasaki Z 750 back in the 80s and loved it 😍
Well what do you do when there’s not a new video you watch one again! So soothing and relaxing to watch Allen work. Look forward to these videos like a warm muffin and a cup of coffee! Cheers to all, Mike Ohio USA
Now time for coffee and a muffin! Another Great Video can’t wait to finish my 77 Honda 550 SS and take a ride and hear that classic sound. Thanks for the video, Cheers!
