Alan Millyards amazing builds

Post by rodbargee »

Check out Alan Millyards youtube channel where he builds amongst other things a superb KAwasaki Z1 six cyl and test rides it and in one vid shows how he cuts and welds six z1 cyls together its truly inspirational how he does it and he seems a sound bloke to-boot.

He's a nice chap too, parked up his V12 Viper bike thing near me at Combe when I was racing there.

Everyone wanted to talk to him and he talked to everyone.

Yeah,there are all sorts out there. Probably some who specialise in disliking what others like,just to be 'different'.

YouTube comments in general show a goodly percentage of low wattage interaction. :wtf:
