I'd told everybody is knew that I would be on 2 wheels on my 16th birthday so I needed a plan b. A lad I knew was about 3 years older than me and I knew he still had his ss50 so I went to see him. It was round the back of his shed where he parked it a couple of years before and absolutely filthy. My dad told me not to buy it but there was no way I wasn't going to be mobile on my birthday and I only had about a week to sort it. So I bought it for 40 quid, took it home, cleaned it, got it running and rode it to school on my 16th. Then came the weekend and I went out with my mates and got thoroughly humiliated.

    I like these "instructional" vids a lot, more to come I hope!
    BTW: the SS180 sounds terrific!

    Without a doubt, The little SS100 is my favourite bike in the world. I have lusted after it since it's inception. It would be more fun than my Ducati 900SSD bevel.
    How Allen Millyard's talented and ideas haven't been picked up by the big manufacturers is beyond my comprehension. The closest that I can come for fun to the SS100 is a Honda VTR250 with Staintune pipes. Bravo Allen, I LOVE your work!

    Lovely bikes Allen, making a 1002cc out of two 90s Husaberg 501s would be tremendous!

    Outstanding! I had an SS50 back in the day. I put a C70 head and barrel on it..no one knew why it blew all the fizzies away..! Great days...👍

    I wonder if you ever contemplated a 2 stroke V twin based on 2 fizzy engines, or an RS200 V twin. Big fan of your skills and output, Alan.

    I loved my yellow SS50 5 speed, these are a differerent league, but still remind me, these are gorgeous, the 180 sounds wonderful.

      Peter brewer, I had a 1974 4 speed, after one ride with my mates on their fizzies and ap50s I put the top end and carb off an old c70, it wasn't really any faster than the others until you got to a hill or a bit of head wind. I never told any of my mates what I had done they just thought that ss50s weren't as slow as they thought they were! I actually got stopped by the law and apparently I was doing 56mph! (I weighed about half what I weigh now). I was so chuffed. I've owned at least a dozen bikes since then but I've never had as much fun, maybe because you suddenly have all that freedom?

    I used to race and play on honda pit bikes many many years ago and built a few c90 engines into 124r takegawa race engines with 15-17bhp and they would pull 100 easily on road gearing !! Watching this has completely blown my mind what you done ! Well done sir !! Now with some takegawa pistons, barrels and some 4 valve heads that 180 could be a 248cc and the fastest mini/pit bike ever built 🤣😅👍😎 #legend

    What's the V angle on the 180?
    Would love to see how you pitched out and machined the crankcases.
    I'm an engineer and I know the work you put into these engines, you make it sound easy.
