"I made the bike by following a model makers guide book". I am sorry Allen I believe that the rest of us mere mortals have now closed our garages and are hanging out heads in shame. What an amazing thing to behold.....and I am not talking about Tracey and her scones. Lovely Allen, absolutely lovely.
Cooking is the second-hardest thing I can think of. Only cleaning is harder. At least I can follow what he’s doing. I’ve done some it. Forming the steel sheet with hammer and mandrel is something I recall doing 40 years ago. Still have the mandrel I made 30+ years ago.
Legend has it, Allen was stranded on a desert island with only his hacksaw and Swiss army knife. As luck would have it he found a sheet of aluminium, made a jet ski and rescued himself.
"I used some coconut leaves to buff and polish the hull for better control - it worked out wonderfully - im quite chuffed" then uses rescue JetSki to win some boating show by just riding by while having a cupcake..... :)
@@jeffzekas.Ahh my daughter has one of those too, very good 👍. I was a plastic injection mould toolmaker for 27 years with an engineering degree and it still boggles my mind the skill and attention to detail Allen has.
@@jasonphillips3865 yeah, if I’m ever stranded on a desert island, I want Allen to be the other bloke- he’d have everything built and running like Swiss Family Robinson!
thats true but its still an understatement. he is a world class genius and an inspiration to humanity. we should all aim to live our lives so interestingly and fulfillingly.
I'm coming up for adoption soon again, hint hint. Seriously, Jay Leno needs to have you on and you deserve a special of some type. So humble for the hard work that you make seem so easy. Thanks for sharing again.
When you think of the rubbish they class as modern art these days, something like this deserves to be in the Tate Gallery or my living room. To think you had guidance from a model makers catalogue to help make this, wow. Now where's my Airfix Lancaster Bomber instructions.
Always sad when one of Allen's videos has to end, but happy my life has been made better by watching them! Looking forward to the fairing, tank and seat vid!
I remember buying an english motorcycle magazine when I was a kid and reading about a custom made Kawasaki Z V12 made by Mr. Millyard. 20 years later there's TH-cam. These videos are really interesting and I have watched them repeatedly a few times. Regards from Japan.
What a lovely guy this Allen Millyard is! That's apart from being an inventive and engineering genius. He should have his own television show - entertaining, educational, amusing and utterly self-effacing. There's no prima donna here. Just the real thing. Thanks Allen!
It's a finishing touch that is not, somehow, guilding the lily; droll humility at life in context. Quite reassuring that we all have a place, if we can find ourselves.
Just once, after fabricating some ridiculously intricate part, I want to hear Allen say, “I then assembled it… and it was a total disaster”. Somehow I suspect I’ll never live to see that day. What a legend.
I've only just come across these & I'm amazed. This is engineering craftsmanship at the highest level. Gifted & tenacious. Watching the one cone being made, then just another five to put together! And much of the museum quality detail from a selection of photos in a magazine. Not even using the Internet! Brilliant & I'm hooked on watching the rest now.
There are jealous losers, i have 1 whos been on my case since 2014. Hes got a little gang of other jealous losers to down vote my videos to ruin my channel. They also post vile racist comments about my thai wife and our child. TH-cam do nothing to stop it, they do restrict my channel tho so i cant get past 20 views per upload. I have slowly got to 390 subs, but no one gets notifications of uploads.
Crazy! How can any human being see the work, (the Art!) this man does, and decide to give it a thumbs down!??? It’s very sad that there are even a tiny percentage of people who don’t understand how special this is....
Poor Tracey, Allen comes into the kitchen with his vernier calipers and she still works in imperial! Poor Charlie Weaver with his broken arm, and he wasn't 3 sheets to the wind! But the Swiss Army Knife got a look in!
Great video Allen, and I love the side trips to Tracy's kitchen and Hagen's digs. It is great to see the things you make from scratch, the gas cap and the pipes were totally amazing. Thanks and cheers!
I cannot express my admiration at those cones, many, many moons ago as an apprentice i had to make cones for some worn out cyclonic dust seperators (no Mr Dyson you didnt invent them) the boss made me make the first 2 by hand, in virtually the same way you made these, the maths involved was as tricky as making them, only when he was happy with them would he then let me use the rollers to make the rest, hats off to you sir. Anyone else pick up on Tracy handling that rolling pin, oh Matron 😀
From Japan Your bike is very nice. I saw the real RC174 at the Goodwood Festival of Speed and felt its powerful exhaust sound was the same as your bike. I would like to express my deepest respect for your hard work.
The devil is in the details, the genius having the vision and top it all the dedication and skill of a true craftsman to realize the vision to such impeccable levels of quality. Superb video and audio an inspiration to all sheddies.
Allen you are a true legend and the work you do is metal mastery!!!! If I win the lottery I would pay you large sums of cash to to teach me your art!!!! AMAZING!!!!
“Tap it with my ball pein hammer until it’s just perfect”…. If only amateur engineering was so easy…but it gives us garage dreamers hope to “give it a go”. I soooo enjoy your videos Alan, complete with scones, sparrows and Hagar the hedgehog.
The ‘powder’ Tracy puts on the board is almost certainly flour. You do the making, let Tracy do the baking. I love Honda sixes. Brilliant bike as ever, I bet the scones were great too.
What an absolute craftsman you are. Thank you for sharing your skills with us. Oh and by the way, I love your sense of humour and the baking classes as well.😀
Another excellent, fascinating and entertaining video Allen, as always I am making a note of all your tips and tricks, one thing I have in common with you is a hedgehog who lives under our shed and a lovely wife Jan who is an excellent cook and supports all my playtime in the garage on the bikes.
A wet Sunday grrrrr but a Millyard video to watch AWESOME. I keep thinking whilst watching I COULD MAKE A PROPER MESS OF THAT 😂😂. Arise SIR Millyard I kneel at your feet. Thank you.
Excellent bit of engineering Allen I don’t know where you get your skills and knowledge from but it’s fantastic I could watch you all day all the best Tony 👍👍👍
I am 68 and built a couple of choppers.. The last one was in 2012 and I made it with an AMEN Savior frame and a KZ1000 engine I put together from parts from several models including KZ900, Z1900& 1978-1980 KZ1000. The hardest part of the entire build was the exhaust... 4 into 4 pieced together and didn't turn out half as good as this ToTally handmade six into six Allen built from scratch... Damn this guy does the best work I have ever seen.
I had to pause the video and wipe the tears from my eyes when the scone mix was checked with calipers. The engineering, as usual, is just astonishing. Thank you for brightening a dull wet morning.
I love the way Alan says "just perfect" like it's an everyday occurrence. Ah but maybe it is in the world of the Millyard's. This video: just perfect. Take care😊
Some are good at what they do, others are masters and true artists, jaw dropping and if curing cancer was Allen Millyard's passion, we probably would have solved it already, and probably with a green plant he found in his backyard.... God bless and much love from Norway.
Absolutely incredible Allen, pure skill and pure entertainment ! Is there anyone else that has made a fuel tank cap from bits of aluminium scrap ? Just waiting for the phone call from Chris Packham ! A complete work of art, thanks for sharing !!
OHHH stop what I was doing to watch this. 5:02 Split my cider laughing. Proper use of a Vernia. Cooking show needed for her indoors!. Lovely craftsmanship once again.. You remind me of my Dad or Old boss Ron. Both brilliant engineers could turn a stone into gold. Thanks Sure I have made parts for one of your bikes once upon a time ago or something to do with one. 👍👍
Hi Allen, exhausts are a work of art.! Impressed you managed a scone lol, that Honda rep is sensational tbh, looking forward to next instalment.. cheers, Alex.
That bike is to awesome for words , I made my own expansion chambers when I was in my teens , used a oxy acetylene torch, I have learned much from you Allen , thank you so much.
What a machine. Honda really got it right the first time, including the '79 CBX. That 6-cylinder row is a thing of a beauty. When it leans into the turn, it's like a big chested female gracefully leaning onto the side... Anyhow, that CBX red tank is more sensual than anything I've seen. Harley-Davidson is the best motorcycle in the world, but Honda has an edge over them with their straight 6-cylinder perfection, and the looks and sound to match.

What an amazing thing to behold.....and I am not talking about Tracey and her scones.
Lovely Allen, absolutely lovely.
This channel should be compulsory viewing for all, to promote the values and
inventiveness of our great Country! Thank you Allen.
Just looking at the tiger cub strip down, that is great potential for a v twin
@@frankcollins3896 yes
Allen expresses the same amazement at his wife’s cooking skills as everyone here feels about his amazing fabricating skills.
I want to visit when Tracey is making scones and cup cakes 😊
Cooking is the second-hardest thing I can think of. Only cleaning is harder.
At least I can follow what he’s doing. I’ve done some it. Forming the steel sheet with hammer and mandrel is something I recall doing 40 years ago. Still have the mandrel I made 30+ years ago.
Very well said.
And the birds
I'm not surprised the hedgehog doesn't go far, he's in there watching Allen Millyard videos on his lap top! He can't get enough of them!
The food is abundant and he has a nice waterproof house 🏠
@@AllenMillyard no doubt Allen if it’s made to your standard.
@@AllenMillyard Nice one Allen. I want to bread Hedgehogs, best Slug Pellets in the world !!!!
@@AllenMillyard when are you going to make your hedgehog a motorbike
Performs precision engineering by eye but measures the wife's scones with a vernier.
😆🤣😂
That must be the first time in history that scone mix thickness has been checked with vernier calipers. Brilliant!
😂😂😂
British humour at its best.
Legend has it, Allen was stranded on a desert island with only his hacksaw and Swiss army knife. As luck would have it he found a sheet of aluminium, made a jet ski and rescued himself.
And it came out puuuurfect
"I used some coconut leaves to buff and polish the hull for better control - it worked out wonderfully - im quite chuffed"
then uses rescue JetSki to win some boating show by just riding by while having a cupcake.....
:)
........and carries a calipers around just in case something needs measuring !!!!! (although I must admit I've done things very similar)
thats a good one mate..
Powered by a 5L V-twin from the aircraft.
Best part: Allen checking the scone batter with a vernier caliper!
Sorry to be a pedantic arse but it's a digital caliper as it doesn't have a vernier scale on it. Sorry 😞
@@jasonphillips3865 that’s what Allen called it- my degree is in social sciences so I have no idea
@@jeffzekas.Ahh my daughter has one of those too, very good 👍. I was a plastic injection mould toolmaker for 27 years with an engineering degree and it still boggles my mind the skill and attention to detail Allen has.
@@jasonphillips3865 yeah, if I’m ever stranded on a desert island, I want Allen to be the other bloke- he’d have everything built and running like Swiss Family Robinson!
@@jeffzekas.Hell yeah, I love that film because of all the mechanical engineering. Just think of all the stories he can tell, brilliant.
Allens RC 374 makes the Honda look like a replica 😆
Allen Millyard is a National Treasure! Best
thats true but its still an understatement. he is a world class genius and an inspiration to humanity. we should all aim to live our lives so interestingly and fulfillingly.
Its like Shed and Buried, the Great British Bake-off and Planet Earth all rolled into one, brilliant!
Allen is friends with Henry Cole..
Me: "Damn, I don't have the right tools to build anything." Allen: "I used a hacksaw to..."
Hahah, every time I use my hacksaw, Allen is in my head!
and the little tiny scissors from a swiss army knife lol
And that hacksaw is the most unlikely tool I use other than cut small woods... I'm so ashamed...
I'm coming up for adoption soon again, hint hint. Seriously, Jay Leno needs to have you on and you deserve a special of some type. So humble for the hard work that you make seem so easy. Thanks for sharing again.
I said the same thing on his last video, hopefully jay sees these videos
No kidding.
I am certain that Jay would love to hang out with Allen.
@@petec9686 ring jay and ask him will you..
How to make reverse cones and if you play the kitchen bits backwards you can have reverse scones.
When you think of the rubbish they class as modern art these days, something like this deserves to be in the Tate Gallery or my living room. To think you had guidance from a model makers catalogue to help make this, wow. Now where's my Airfix Lancaster Bomber instructions.
This Guy does more with a hacksaw and a file than most Machine Shops , awesome.
Always sad when one of Allen's videos has to end, but happy my life has been made better by watching them! Looking forward to the fairing, tank and seat vid!
"It takes a while, but you get there in the end, and it makes it all worthwhile."
That's a mantra if ever I've heard one.
Tracey to her friends, "Oh yes, Allens in the garage messing about with bits of metal!."
That is an awesome comment.
👍🤭👍🤭👍🤭
Only before he starts the six cylinder up without the headers on...
I remember buying an english motorcycle magazine when I was a kid and reading about a custom made Kawasaki Z V12 made by Mr. Millyard. 20 years later there's TH-cam. These videos are really interesting and I have watched them repeatedly a few times. Regards from Japan.
I can imagine Tracy chasing you out of the kitchen with a rolling pin as soon as you pull out your caliper
Every motorcyle, car, engine, metalworking, engineering, animal, and baking enthusiast should be subscribed.
What a lovely guy this Allen Millyard is! That's apart from being an inventive and engineering genius. He should have his own television show - entertaining, educational, amusing and utterly self-effacing. There's no prima donna here. Just the real thing. Thanks Allen!
So Honda builds a race bike with an army of engineers and technicians. Allen grabs his hacksaw and swiss army knife and says "hold my beer"
Hold my cupcake 😂
@@richhardchoppers7869 you beat me to it! 😂
Thanks Allen!
I love how you number stamp your parts, a little uneven is the purrrfect touch👌🏼
Yes I do it on purpose for an authentic old style look
It's a finishing touch that is not, somehow, guilding the lily; droll humility at life in context. Quite reassuring that we all have a place, if we can find ourselves.
@@AllenMillyard MINT!
Allen's exhausts are better than original Honda, so he welds on imitation seams to make them authentic. Brilliant.
When I go to my garage I just clean my bikes , when Allen goes to his garage, he creates his. Bloody marvellous.
Just once, after fabricating some ridiculously intricate part, I want to hear Allen say, “I then assembled it… and it was a total disaster”. Somehow I suspect I’ll never live to see that day. What a legend.

And much of the museum quality detail from a selection of photos in a magazine. Not even using the Internet! Brilliant & I'm hooked on watching the rest now.
Whilst I am fairly impressed by how you built those exhausts, what has completely blown me away is how the hedgehog built that house! It's amazing!
Excellent as always. Why anyone gives this a thumbs down is baffling.
They just jealous
They will be the 2 braincell variety. I keep seeing them all over youtube
There are jealous losers, i have 1 whos been on my case since 2014. Hes got a little gang of other jealous losers to down vote my videos to ruin my channel. They also post vile racist comments about my thai wife and our child.
TH-cam do nothing to stop it, they do restrict my channel tho so i cant get past 20 views per upload. I have slowly got to 390 subs, but no one gets notifications of uploads.
The thumbs downs are from actual thumbs protesting at the abuse Allen has subjected his to, especially that left one..
Crazy! How can any human being see the work, (the Art!) this man does, and decide to give it a thumbs down!??? It’s very sad that there are even a tiny percentage of people who don’t understand how special this is....
Fantastic machine, excellent engineering. Hedgehog struck it lucky with his house and food. Great entertainment and thanks for sharing.
Poor Tracey, Allen comes into the kitchen with his vernier calipers and she still works in imperial! Poor Charlie Weaver with his broken arm, and he wasn't 3 sheets to the wind! But the Swiss Army Knife got a look in!
Your attention to detail is truly amazing, what a machine. 🇬🇧
great story teller and wonderful sense of humor.. "It's just perfect"!!!!!!!!!!!!
As I watch this, the smile on my face gets wider and wider, bloody genius Allen.
I swear I didn't blink!...lol...

Then i cut it with my hack saw. Talk about an understatement! Highest quality engineering coming out of a garden shed. I'm speechless.
Throughout history there have been masters in all forms of art and sculpture. You sir, are one of those masters. To me it's beautiful.
Love this bike, it is like a well-polished jewel and runs accordingly, and is show-stoppingly beautiful.
Allen Millyard says "I hope you enjoyed it." Silly question, his work goes way beyond enjoyment.
A work of art, like all your machines!
Seeing you and Sammy riding the two machines was a real treat!
was amazing fun
From Japan
Your bike is very nice.
I saw the real RC174 at the Goodwood Festival of Speed and felt its powerful exhaust sound was the same as your bike.
I would like to express my deepest respect for your hard work.
Making six of those megaphones, you must have spent more time at the bar than Charlie Weaver and got even more hammered ;-)
The devil is in the details, the genius having the vision and top it all the dedication and skill of a true craftsman to realize the vision to such impeccable levels of quality. Superb video and audio an inspiration to all sheddies.
Sir Millyard does it again! Thanks for sharing your talent Allen. Keep these videos coming.
Looks like everyone around the Millyard house eats well!
Love the bird songs in the background. Just lovely. Big thank you
Allen,you Sir are a living Legend.
This is skill and ingenuity that is truly British .
My god, "I made from a model makers magazine" its extraordinary. Brilliant Allen.
How could you down vote this, pure genius on display. Calm , these are great just before bed I relax and dream of riding
Allen you are a true legend and the work you do is metal mastery!!!!
If I win the lottery I would pay you large sums of cash to to teach me your art!!!!
AMAZING!!!!
Aye she's a beautiful machine mate
Allen can use a hand held hacksaw to cut with such a presicion that a micro surgeon would envy. The man is pure genius.
Haha I'm not sure why but alan getting into the kitchen skits are some of the best parts of these videos
Everytime I watch your video's Allen,I become hungry from watching Tracy baking whatever she's making during the video!!! Lol. Yum!!! :-)
Thank you Sir Allen 🙏🏼 The perfect Sunday Entertainment 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼💪🏼👍🏼😀

Please consider writing a book! It is an absolute pleasure listening to your explainations.
we can only admire Allen and his brilliant mind . genius ❤❤❤
Hedgehog Hagen has got to be a nod to the shock absorber makers, surely. As usual, very informative and attention to detail is superb
I love all your bikes but this is one of my favourites. So good to see you've homed a Hedgehog and feeding the birds. The cupcake was well deserved.
Fantastic video Allen. You have covered all the important points. Cakes, Sparrows and the Hedgehog. The bike was alright too:)

I am continually amazed and inspired by Alan’s ingenuity and craftsmanship. - astonishing!
The way this man is SOOO casual about his amazing creations. Well done. Excellent
Absolutely incredible Allen, pure skill and pure entertainment !
Is there anyone else that has made a fuel tank cap from bits of aluminium scrap ?
Just waiting for the phone call from Chris Packham !
A complete work of art, thanks for sharing !!
Absolutely love the Craftsmanship of your work sir ! What a wonderful machine !!!
I love it! 'Couldn't find a petrol cap I liked. So! I made one'. We wouldn't expect anything less. 😂
I could've watched that all day - thanks Allen !
Nothing better as watching the "Witcher" Allen Millyard while drinking a cup of coffee. Kind Regards from Bvaria!
You're a very fortunate man, enjoying beautiful motorbikes, scones and cupcakes :)
Top work as always Allen. Looking forward to episode 6.
Bikes, cakes and hedgehogs. Perfect.
Really lost for words at your engineering skills .. thank you 🙏💪🇬🇧
I watch, I see, still baffled.
Excellent.
John
I can’t see Allen as a cup cake thief but as a brilliant engineer,that was awesome❤️
OHHH stop what I was doing to watch this. 5:02 Split my cider laughing. Proper use of a Vernia. Cooking show needed for her indoors!. Lovely craftsmanship once again.. You remind me of my Dad or Old boss Ron. Both brilliant engineers could turn a stone into gold. Thanks Sure I have made parts for one of your bikes once upon a time ago or something to do with one. 👍👍
Still one of the best channels on TH-cam. Allen is a genius.
Hi Allen, just to say, loving your videos and what an engineer you are, very talented indeed, unbelievable what you do, 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
Hi Allen, exhausts are a work of art.! Impressed you managed a scone lol, that Honda rep is sensational tbh, looking forward to next instalment.. cheers, Alex.

That bike is to awesome for words , I made my own expansion chambers when I was in my teens , used a oxy acetylene torch, I have learned much from you Allen , thank you so much.
Allen is the only person that can make a video on bikes, then give a quick recipe on scones, then back to bikes and still get away with it.
Just simple amazing precision cakes, and Allen does a fairly good job as well, go for it Tracy 👍
