I'm in awe of the shed-dwelling genius who can make anything, people like this gentleman and Allen Millyard. Respect is due!

@supercomp7078 Год назад

The thing I love about shed built bikes and cars is just the rawness of them, no pretence, built to do a specific job the way the builder wanted them to be, brilliant.

What a star George is and he’s my rotary buddy. He’s a true craftsmen. What he doesn’t know isn’t worth knowing. Someone should throw some money at him and see what he comes up with. 🤣👍

@tonycamplin8607 Год назад

Wow a really fantastic achievement and all done "with a little bit of fixing." This man is an absolute genius along side the likes of Allen Millyard. These backyard shed engineers are the British at their best, nothing is beyond their imagination or what they can achieve. It would be nice to see any other bikes he has built. A real pleasure to have an insight into the gentleman's achievement.

My greatest respect for this work! I'm sure Felix Wankel (1902-1988) is watching from above with pride and joy.

Hi George. loved watching the video what a superb Bike congratulations on all your hard work 👏

@mikeymike3240 Год назад

Oh man, that’s a really hot 🥵 lap, that thing is still a weapon, i freaking love 💕 it.

I remember being at a scooter rally in Rhyl in about 1987?.and a copper on his bike showing us how smooth his bike was by placing a 50p piece on the engine casings and reving the nuts off the stationary bike and the coin slowly rotating but not falling of the casings

@VashSpiegel Год назад

Wow, wish we had a Norton like this today.

Some fabulous re engineering gone on with this machine. It makes me happy that the rotary lives on with the remarkable Crighton CR700 with its incredible power to weight ratio. Think Wizz Racing may be taking their rotary racing machines to the classic TT, again amazing to watch and hear in action. Thanks again for bringing us another interesting vid

@vonryansexpress Год назад

What a tremendous achievement - the man is up there with Marsh, Wooler, Millyard, McCandless, Ernie Earles and many other "Shed" geniuses - fabulous work and a great video - 😊 thanks . ...

I wish I could just be a fly on the wall and soak up all that knowledge ❤

@peterkirby2456 Год назад

Absolutely fantastic video and brilliant engineering. I'd love to see and hear more of it on the track with high def audio and visual sometime. Absolutely lovely creation. Pure art....
