Allen Millyard using up his leftovers

[Tricky]

His vids do make me smile, he makes elements of his build sound so run of the mill and trivial when in reality they require a fair bit of thought, and to most people, they really wouldn't be anything like as easy as he makes it sound.
I like that bike more than his additional cylinder(s) ones, and would love a go on it

I wonder how long the engines he builds would run for.

Yup, must admit, that thought crossed my mind too.
I don't think that I be taking them on any long trips or track days, but they are really decent accomplishments for a bloke in a shed IMO, and something I aspire to

I think you'd be okay for a trackday, if you look at some of the bikes raced in the 1970s they were of a similar standard.

I know a couple of people who've made a straight four 500 and a 700 by joining two LC engines together, apparently it's not that difficult, but you need 3 cranks and to know a very good welder.

Sounds crisp.

Massive respect for his engineering skills.

I did wince when he took that 6 cylinder zed for a spin with no gloves on.
And I was gripping my seat when he was hurlting down those muddy lanes on this twin.

This 500 seemed very tractable pulling from low revs and picking up nicely - not peaky like I remember two strokes being.
The single front disc didn't look up to much but then I guess theres not much weight in the bike.
I'd love a go on it as well. Where do we form a queue?

[Le_Fromage_Grande]

If he's used stock barrels it won't be peaky, H2s were quite torquey, I think the redline was at about 8000 rpm, the power wasn't the scary thing about H2s, it was the weedy frame and pathetic brakes.

He was pitted next to us at the Prescott hill climb when a friend was racing his Rudge.

Him and his son made multiple passes on a selection of his bikes, neither was holding anything back. His son was wheelying the five cylinder Kawasaki on all the straight bits.

The Viper has been to Elvington and done a fair few miles.

He used to work at Aldermaston so I'm hoping his stuff is very reliable.

I know someone who worked with him there
