the That man Millyard is back again, this time with a rebuild of the Norton Nemesis 1500cc V8
VIDEO
And for a relatively conventional front end that is a completely insanely complicated construction. Take the forks off to change the front wheel?
I watched the latest instalment yesterday.
That bike is an absolute lashup!!

It looks like every man and his dog had a go at designing and fitting different parts and no one ever talked to anyone.

I was at this event, I was too young and wasn't good enough to race at that level so for free entry and to be involved I ran messages for the ACU officials between the start line podium area and the different staging posts. It was a bit like the Wild West in those days....
Really, really enjoyed watching that. Thanks for posting it up
