It's people like Allen that made this country great and I fear that today he would be deselected by some HR Department at the outset before he had a chance to sell himself. Allen Millyard is an absolute genius and has skill in his hands and head that make him a national treasure. Thanks Allen for showing us all how to strive to be better people and aim high.
@@stevet5379 Have you see what else Allen Millyard has built ? Reeves etc make some stylish shit but Allen's engineering is several levels up. Bear in mind his day job is a Nuclear Engineer
@@fourutubez7294 For sure, Allens engineering is nothing short of astonishing. I was merely asking if Reeve's bikes had been noticed. I'm a big fan of Millyard cycles, they are built to perfection.
I just can't get over Allen - one humble dude, despite his genius. Most ace wrenches are primadonnas - yours truly went through that phase, too - Allen? He wonders what's going on in the kitchen and takes time for the birds and little animals. Loveya Man!
I was there about 12 years ago.....traveled from Boston to visit a friend who lives in Warrington. He had a CR-750 replica and a nitrous 250 cc 2 stroke LSR bike. Anyway....get the bikes through tech at which point it pissed down rain for hours and hours. Never turned a wheel. Nice to see a video with the sun shining there and some exotic machinery actually running down the airstrip. If I remember correctly Elvington was designated an emergency landing area for the space shuttle secondary to the length of runway. It was a very large airfield for sure.
Your either brave or stupid im stupid never gone 180 have gone 150mph but i also can count on 1 finger how manys hours iv spent on road bikes Allan on the other hand is brave
Allen seems like such an unassuming character with more creativity and engineering skill than the whole of the corporate world end on end. What he’s capable of just slays me!
What a star! He's a superb engineer and such a humble person. I've ridden a Kawasaki at just under 200mph on the autobahn and thought "if something goes wrong, like hitting a pigeon, I'm dead". On a UK airfield there's a very good chance of something flying at you, even a bee would hurt at that speed! To be honest, I'm amazed at the speed he can do on an unfaired bike, how does he hang on? Incredible!
I have to say 'The Great British Shed' really does produce the wildest of engineering projects and I love it. Alan you should let Guy Martin wring its neck you two together would be quite something, maybe you could take Guy's spitfire engine and make something crazy with it !!
First I think Allen has balls of steel to ride at that speed and l was disappointed that he didn’t get the 200 mph but we did have the Bonus of having Henry Cole with him these two great gentlemen l love to see together great video thanks chaps 👏👏👍😊
Okay first Sir Allen has to be crazy, or or forward thinking to suggest a Dodge Viper V10 is a sound power plant for a motorcycle..then Sir Allen has to have the amazing talent of engineering and fabrication.. and and then Sir Allen must have the Grand Balls of Steel to take it up to those intense weed-out the men from the boys speeds! Phew😅 Thank you Allen you’re amazing.
He isn’t the first. Dodge made a bike with the v10 and many others have as well. Just bc no one has done it on your side of the pond doesn’t mean it hasn’t been done here multiple times.
@@montynohtyp157 That real Dodge made viper bike thing with the four tires is crazy, awesome full custom concept. Yeah, lot's of people truly believe if they didn't think of it and haven't seen it it couldn't possibly have been done before, doesn't matter what side of the pond your from, f you've been told everyone is equal and nobody can be better than one another at anything but athletics and stage entertainment your going to think that your ideas are the same as everyone else's and nobody can think of anything better. A viper engine in a bike is no stretch of imagination to anyone that knows the diversity of past motorcycle designs, the Millyard Viper bike is basically another version of the mass produced Boss Hoss, just using a v10 instead of a v8 of the same basic design just with 2 extra cylinders.
@@montynohtyp157 If you know, you know...! Allen does it all himself in his shed at home though, big difference there to Dodge. If you haven't watched his vids, it's definitely worth checking out, seeing him chop engines up and making bigger ones out off them is just amazing.
@@HalfdeadRider thank you, the one person who understands I’m just complementing a talented person who also isn’t afraid to take his own creation to top speeds 180+ Also I was trying to be a tad funny, which apparently I’m not too good at😅 also also thought I should’ve mentioned I knew about all those other bikes, but that wasn’t really the point. Again thank you 🙏
Alen is one of those guys that come around very infrequently so I fully understand your starstruckness around him Henry, but you are top bloke too mate :)
Millyard is a brilliant fellow. It's such fun to see each of his creations. That V-Twin with the Airplane cylinders is simply amazing! Then there's the Velocette V-Twin and........and.......
I remember seeing the late E J Potter race his small block V8 powered bike at Blackbushe back in the sixties. Revved it up on the stand, then rocked it off and smoked the tyre all of the quarter mile…….Insane. Watch him on RUclips and be amazed
I wonder what Allen and Guy Martin could create between. Both wonderfully eccentric gentlemen that know their stuff and whose time I'd love to spend with - just to absorb their knowledge. Thanks Henry for the upload.
Allen is the most unassuming bloke I’ve ever seen, I always think to myself that he looks more like a librarian than the absolute genius that he is. I love all the programmes that Henry makes, but if Allen isn’t in an episode I’m always slightly disappointed!
The Millyard V10 VIPER has to go to Bonneville, that's the only place on earth that can show it's the fastest STREET ABLE motorcycle. ALLEN I SALUTE YOU!
Sometimes the best craftsmen are teetering on the edge of genius, while at the same time being humble and reserved. Just a genuine guy, pursuing a passion, without the jewellery, tattoos or bandanas, like the in your face pretenders in other countries.
My mate's sat on that bike. It was at a bike show, NEC Birmingham I think, on the Carole Nash insurance stand. There were no signs saying don't sit on it so I told my mate to go for it. Sorry Allen.
You’re a Master! A genius….and.. I loved the hedgehog show down! Never seen that before. I salute you Sir! 600 kilos!!!!!!? Scary. Had a Harley crush my ribs once a long time ago…too confident a showing off….though that bike was heavy!! Amazing..
And people go on about the dodge tomahawk doing 300mph, what a load of nonsense, this is basically the same thing, without aerodynamics 200mph is the max. But what a true gentleman and hats off to him, it must be a real handful to control.
That's pretty cool! Surprised it did not go faster though. Did 192mph on a stock motor zx10r at a similar official event. Just had exhaust, tune and gearing.
About 14 years ago I took a supercharged busa to Elvington. Most people who have owned a litre sports bike have done 180 mph but that last 20 mph? Jeez it was weird, because of the width of the runway you don't have the same concept of speed that you do on the road, (that might just be me?) Anyway, I did a couple of runs, 180ish to get the feel of it on the runway then on my 3rd I went for it 199.9. I was gutted one tenth of a mile an hour off 200! Then jarrod frost did a run, 224mph! It started raining then so I went home!
I'm of the opinion that 182 mph is a terrific speed for a bike with little or no aerodynamics. There isn't in place to hide and the radiator has to catch a lot of air. I was surprised when he said it would got 200 mph. I've been close to 200 mph on a bike with lessor horsepower but much better aerodynamics and it is hard. Hats off for the speed and the courage and skill to run it that fast.👍👍
All of Allen's bikes look like they were factory made, The Flying Millyard look like it was made in the FIAT factory alongside the Beast of Turin. And the Viper bike looks like it was made by Dodge as a marketing exercise, with help from Lotus and Laverda. Allen and Henry did decide to go for the two up record, and they did break the record!
Way back in the day in my early 30s I ran 189mph in my built GSXRR 750 and that was wot with nothing more.. I'd hoped for 190 +... Won't ever get that chance again now that I'm a fresh 57 ... But if I could..
Humble engineering genius. Huge admiration.
Millyard is in a class of his own. Breathtaking creations.
I follow Allan on his RUclips channel his creations are amazing
Hope 1000cc with2 rg gamma.v8 😂2stroke....

Allen loves life, nature, but he has the gift to speak to machines, and he can understand them also. Long life to you, doctor Millyard !
And it didn't run purrfect.
He needed one of Tracey's cupcakes.
That's why it didn't run properly at Elvington. Cup Cake shortage. Rather obvious omission.
Allen is probably the fastest engineer on the planet, brilliant 👍
The craziest bit is how utterly relaxed it looked to ride.

He never ceases to amaze me
What a man. Love to meet him one day
No words describe Allen 👌👌
Legend... Why is there not a TV series on Alans shed, sign me up please.
He does, and it's his own channel right here on RUclips. Go subscribe!
Allen’s channel is well worth a look… he has built a Yamaha V8 and V12 and they are wonderful pieces of engineering.

Nice to see Pip again, I remember him advising us about our teams new air shifter , at the pod, many moons ago
I've been 137mph and that was more than fast enough for me.
Allen is my favorite motorbike shed engineer
182 with no full fairing😳 I would need me wrists strapping to the bars to hang on at that speed on that brute 😂

Sooooo close to 300kph. 😳

Even his mountain bikes are badass.....
That's Allen "The HACKSAWWWWW" Millyard to all of you petty mortals..😜😄😅

0:53 "More brake-horsepower than a Bugatti Veyron" Since when? Did you mean power to weight?
Does it matter enough for you to comment?
Yeah power to weight. The Veyron doesn't have a great power to weight ratio anyway. Even a stock Yamaha R1 is higher.
@@garyhardman8369
Yes
Came here to comment the same. More than HALF brake-horsepower maybe.

Guy rides it, sets a new world record, crashes it, breaks 22 bones... and is back in work on Monday.
How about an elevdon knee down record from side to side all the way down the strip.
Well done Allan. If your lookin for Bollocks... maybe Guy Martin could be interested?
I've done 176MPH on a 1999 YAMAHA R1 and that was something else. But to do over 200MPH, well..........
Dear Alan, please can you help me get my much loved Suzuki Bandit 600 running again. I’ve tried everything, even had the carbs professionally rebuilt.
An engineering master
0:54 what I could find it says this has 500hp where as Bugatti Veyron has ~1000hp. I think 1000 > 500, but cool bike regardless.
Incroyable!!!
I can't help feeling that living next door to him would be great. But you're wife would constantly moan 🙄 there's a sitcom in it lol
