It's an absolute masterpiece that. No idea how it would ride, but I'd happily put that in the living room

Allen Millyard's work is beyond cool in my world. The guy has some hands.

I'd love that Boxer - if you've not had a go on a 9rt yet - do so.
Cracking chassis which I'm guessing that is based on so it'll handle.

As with the handling on most triples of that era,you may have occasion to be thankful for the leverage with those bars.

Stunner, or monstrosity ?

Monstrosity.

Actually, it's an MV, not a badly done Ducati

Seen it in real life, not as horrible as it looks in that picture, but still Flash Gordon's rocket ship

A shame they've become collectors items as it's unlikely it will ever get ridden again.

You'll be bored of it before you ride it.

Still work in progress it seems, no front brake or discernable drive train and i looks like I felt this morning after opening a bottle of Talisker last night

There'll be no time wasted designing a sidestand......

Sometimes,in my old age,I look at things like this and kind of like the lines and the simplicity,but in the real world I bet it handles like a wheelbarrow!

At least its got mudguards so better than most bobbers I've seen.
Well, at least the back one looks like it does its job.

It would be OK but why do bearded moisturising enthusiasts in check shirts always ruin bikes by fitting them with cross-plies from a 1930's Morris 8?
