    The fact that this prototype bike, with no manual, having a rebuild and check over, fired up first time is proof of Allen's experience and expertise.
    That was very impressive and I am very much looking forward to the next video. Well done Mr Millyard, very well done.

      If he followed a manual, it would've been just as poorly designed as it orignially was! Only Allen could improve something like this, while keeping the bike's original integrity.

      Yes, an introduction to British cooking. Ginger Nuts are known in the USA as Ginger Snaps. UK biscuits are called cookies in the US. There is no direct equivalent to US biscuits in the UK except some similarity to the scone. The sweetener called Golden Syrup is unique to the UK, with no direct US equivalent.

      @@rossmacintosh5652 Golden Syrup is an Australian invention originally, made from cane sugar (of which we have huge plantations in Queensland and northern New South Wales). I presume the English version would be the same given that for many years it was exported from Australia to all over the world. Not sure if it still is. I guess different places have their own different version of it these days. My Nan always called Golden Syrup "Cocky's Joy", Australian bushmen were (and often still are) called "Cockys" and the Golden Syrup was often part of their rations. As a kid I used to think "Cocky's" referred to the Cockatoo (a common large white parrot, known the world over these days) because they love Golden Syrup spread on small pieces of bread, but it's really the old bush cockys it's referring to.
      Thanks for reading. This concludes today's interesting history lesson, lol.

      @@loboheeler Ahem, sorry to correct you, but Golden Syrup is not unique to the UK. It's an Australian invention, it was exported to the UK from Australia for many years. Here in Australia it's very common, you can buy it in the sugar section of any supermarket, and is the key ingredient required to make our famous Anzac biscuits, which are also available everywhere here. I reckon just about every Australian kitchen has a bottle of it somewhere. I know mine does.

    Thank you Allen. Just made my Sunday afternoon. Great to see the V8 crackle into life.... instantly. I always try to watch one of your vids before working on my bikes. It's like a pre spanner twirling meditation. The Zen of Millyard... 'Pah' to all these meditation apps! You a shed and a Norton V8 allows me to locate my inner chakra's!🤣

    Once again, I was really impressed by your excellent skills in assembling the machine while meticulously fixing the defects.
    I also enjoy your humorous scenes of your wife making sweets and observing lovely animals gathering in the garden.The ginger cookies this time looked delicious, but the most enjoyable part of this video for me was the scene where you showed us a tachometer rotation test using a lawn mower engine.
    I think the next video will finally complete the restoration of this monster machine, and I look forward to the next one.
