- In this video take out my 5 litre Flying Millyard V Twin out for a ride, carry out a pre start checks and show how i start the 5 litre V Twin engine. My son Stephen helps me out with the tracking shots, riding my ST1100 equipped with 2 rear facing camera's. The flying Millyard is great fun to ride and i have ridden it over 9000 miles since 2012 including trips to the isle of Man TT, Guernsey, and the Isle of wight.
" I couldn't get the SU carbs to run right so I MADE a new pair " Lost for words and stand back in total admiration of Allen's skill.
next minute.... "i built some wings and a tail and now it flies "... what a man and what a bike!
Everyone ... Carburettor tuning is complicated
Allen ... Just made my own .
Now when i heard him say that i just smiled why wasnt i surprised
They're choked manually.
@@tgerambio no you
And it came out perrrfect.
It's a rolling work of art. You sir, are a mechanical genius.
Amennn :-)
What he said!
Hit the nail on the head there my friend!
_ and that's an understatement. Thing deserves a 3rd installment. I wannta see it with 1) LP fueling would be perfect, or 2) Mechanical Timed Port fuel Injection 3) Self-learning Electronic Timed Port FI.
Thank You for making this and showing it to us.
wow really no 1
I absolutely love this guy! With that childish sparkle in his eye when he's talking proudly of his latest creation etc - he's the epitome of the "mad professor" of the motorcycling world! And this twin cylinder 5ltr monster is sooo the Chitty-chitty-bang-bang of Holiwood same!(?) Such A fantastic guy, a true naturally talented inspiration to us all & long may he be so to continue to brighten our lives! I salute you Sir! 😁👍🏍
Hear, hear 😊👍
John T Baptist well said.
Chitty chitty bang bike.
I was thinking the same, a modern day Carractacus Pott.
I had started reading your comment and was thinking about the chitty chitty bang bang contraption from the movie and then i see that you made a comment about it..How cool is that.
Cheers
Normal biker: "Whats your RPM reading during cruise ride?"
Allen: "Between three and five."
Normal biker: "Between three thousand and five thousand?"
Allen: "No, between three and five."
fires every lamp post
1000rpm doing 120mph lol
I was thinking it could use being resprocketed to get the rpms up and his plugs might not foul so bad
@@ronweber1402 Maybe exhaust gas temperature gauges would allow the mixture to be set leaner without going too far and burning anything.
"Cruises between three and five, but goes to eleven."
To say you're a genius Allen would rather be a minimalistic understatement, rather like saying "Water's wet" or "Fire's hot"
Whilst I'm never going to aspire to the lofty heights you've achieved, what you have done is to get me out to my little bike shed and got me trying to make things, and even though I'm disabled since my motorbike accident and have very little tools, I AM doing something; because you made me believe I could. You are an inspiration to us all.
In the future, after Allen Millard has passed on, his magical creations will receive the top bids at motorcycle auctions. The man is a mechanical artist, rare company indeed.
why is he not respected , in the us
@@michaelwyllie7778 He is highly respected in the U.S. and everywhere, that was my point - his creations are like those of a true artist.
@@michaelwyllie7778 He’s respected by everyone in the US who knows about him. I think you may mean he’s not well known. These videos are making his US fans more numerous.
I fully agree !
I expect his creations would receive top bids even while he's alive, if any were to go to auction.
I utterly love Alan’s way of thinking… a cocktail of Heath Robinson meets precision engineering…and not forgetting a sneaky 12V iphone charger!
Jay Leno show should show your bikes. These are absolutely awesome.
But I like your Channel also @DonnDIY
I agree!
Yes
The 12 cylinnder is on display at Barbers Motorcycle Museum outside Birmingham Alabama largest collection of motorcycles in the world also racetrack there awesome facility. DantheMan
Jay Leno, whom overall I like, ain't got shit on this cat! Jay BUYS his stuff, and I'll agree, he does have probably the overall coolest big boy toy collection ever. This guy BUILDS his toys, and from what? The most awesome engine to ever be bolted on an aircraft, the Allison. Anyone that can cut one of those down to 2 jugs, make it run AND look this fk'n cool... saying he has talent is a huge understatement. This guy is a gearhead's gearhead. Kudos, props, 3 thumbs up!!!
Oh yeah... "and at 100 RPM its brutal". Rofl. LOVE THIS.
The cylinders were firing at every other tree in the park 😂
This man is the IKB of the 21st century ......
How can anyone watch this and not give it a thumbs up?
The world needs people like this man :-)
The softly spoken gentleman genius makes everything he builds look like they came from a factory, only waaay cooler.
What an absolute madman! And I say that in the best way possible!
Absolutely everything, from your design concept, to planning and even mold-making, the stunning machine work, and then onto the bits and bobs that make such a stellar engine!
The frame geometry, and then the crafting of a frame!
Allen, you’re such a joy to watch, and to listen to. You’ve rolled all of these well honed disciplines into such a beautiful creations, I am in awe of your ability!
I’ve never built a bike from scratch, but have years of riding and tinkering. Lots of tinkering after I fell in love with my Triumph and Norton. But it was all a 250,000+ mile, and years or tinkering pleasure!
It saddens me that I can no longer ride, but watching you create these masterpieces brings back so many beautiful memories.
Thanks for the ride in your time machine!
When you pulled back up in the garden and let it idle for a second or two I can only imagine what it must feel like to have built something so wonderful! Lovely video as always
One of the greatest engineers i have ever seen. Incredible work Allen.
Allen you are nothing short of a genius. thank you for taking the time to shoot , edit, narrate and post these wonderful videos. Oh, and your camera assistant does a fine job too.
I film the videos on my iPhone 🙂
@@AllenMillyard Allen is the Flying Millyard the same length as the Viper V10 hi 👋 from # YSW 🇨🇦 much respect for all of your great work on all of your videos have a wonderful Sunday July 9th 2023.😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
What an incredible machine! I love it! Very well done indeed. Your unassuming enthusiasm is quite addictive. None of the woops and fist pumping nonsense those over exuberant Americans go on with, just a gentle measured expression, and humble pride in your own achievements. Very British. Jolly good show I say.
And then he would add, with his customary victorian good manners, " a cup of tea with that?"
@Bill Taggart What a delightfully proper way to describe it old chap.
Yep, his quiet, unassuming nature is what makes me love his work so much. just a humble joy that he shows as he shares his creations with us.
Chap plays with a straight bat.
It's true , contrary to behaviour we aren't an American state , for which I daily give thanks .
Pre-flight being the operative word... it's so nice to see that beautiful vintage Pratt and Whitney kit being re-purposed and in use. I also love that each induction and exhaust stroke is audible... a masterpiece Allen!
I smiled when I saw your comment here, great mechanics watching great mechanics!!!
Yeah. Some people would waste an engine like that by making it into a coffee table.
I salute you Sir! That is a tremendous motorbike. Incredible! The detailing is spot on. WOW!
Brass parts, stainless steel parts, custom handmade parts everywhere. The Flying Millyard is a unique masterpiece built by the most prolific bike builder in history. Allen Millyard.
I am blown away! The bike is incredible. Allen, your engineering & design skills are almost beyond belief. Congratulation you are a genius.
It must be a wonderful experience riding the FM! A truly beautiful work of art.
When i saw your ringing on the phone thought you were getting clearance for take off lol tower to cycle you can lift off
I thought that he might be warning the local constabulary ;-) !
Did you nitice that he is connected to one of those automatic centrals?
Beautifully filmed and edited video = very professional. I live in the vast, open spaces of rural Australia, and as a motorcyclist those (seemingly) narrow roads with hedgerows scare me; I'm on edge least something should pop out from the side, which is silly since the video has been taken and you've obviously survived ! Don't stop making your films; I love them. Thanks!
I was thinking the same Cheers from 2539
YES, this animal could do with some large expanses of highway ...Scares TH out of me those cloistered runs.👍
Plains of KS has MUCH of this.
That bike is rolling art! You sir are a genius and a true craftsman. I love all your videos. You are an inspiration to get out and build something. Thank you for the great content. Best motorcycle channel on TH-cam!
Mechanical genius and master engineer 👍👍👍
- How much torque does it have?
- Yes!
All torque. xD
All of them.
Enough torque to suck a draft horse in through the carbies.
Let's say it broke the rolling road and then the earth started to spin 5mph faster!
All of it!
I just love the rawness of this magnificent machine.
The flying Millyard sounds good, and certainly different, but the Velocette sounds fantastic.
wmden1 best Velocette I’ve ever heard 😀
I thought velocette is very cool, too.
It's the second time I watched these videos. You are an artist!
This man needs a bike naming after him, oh wait. This man needs a queens award for industry.
Magnificent proof of good oldfashioned british ingenuity and craftmanship!
"Hello? I'd like a quote to insure a completely custom made bike that's powered by part of an aero engine.... Hello?.....Hello???"
"Darren, Darren! It's that bloody nutter again...!!"
Alan, you are simply amazing!
@Wessex Why bother? Outside of being lost to fire it could only be hidden in plain sight, like a faux Mona Lisa.
Riz Reid legal requirement to ride on the road. No insurance, police impound your vehicle.....
I am guessing Allen is in his 50s, probably has a few years NCB and insures multiple vehicles. Age of bike? 1947 ish? Horsepower? 100 to 150? No supercharger and not balanced like a rotary for higher revs. It might not be that scary in terms of cost. I just increased my BMW R65 to 860 and it cost me a tenner. Mainly for admin even though it was renewal time. If I was 19 and wanted a Ducati, then the price would be different. I imagine the Viper might be a different prospect...
Edit 1930s and 80 ish HP after quick search. Value for insurance? Various scrap parts bolted together, could be £1,000 or £20,000 unless it's been valued!
How do you go compare that?
@Wessex A little who going to steal it?
And it out put like 10 horse power at normal cruise speeds (there ten steam horses an ten times as nasty vs normal horses.)
Truly amazing! ( i wish my Father was around to see this, he was a highly qualified mechanic engineer, he would have been equally impressed ) This whole motorbike is almost entirely hand made a true work of art, by a genius Allen Millyard!
HP of the engine would not be high, torque would enormous pulling power!! You would not need to change gears much, Beautiful machine, the workmanship is amazing!!
Such an impressing machine!!. I have a 1989 royal Enfield bullet which i used think has massive torque😂. But by seeing the fm's flywheel I'm really blown away. 5000cc of pure torque!!! I'm eagerly waiting for your viper bike series.
If Superman ever needed a motorcycle I should think he would call on you to build it. Has to be the most amazing build I’ve ever seen
Looking thru the sparkplug holes across the cylinder, that was hilarious.
I was almost expecting a bail of hay to pop out the back....what a machine...what a brain to construct this and many others...
That was totally amazing I felt I was riding the bike excellent camera work and the sound with head phones is astonishing well done Allen I'm off to watch it again bye
Boy.....you are out of this world, more than a genius......
Great filming. Every time I see that bike it puts a smile on my face, none more so than when its in motion. Thanks.
A masterpiece of British eccentricity, what an incredible machine 😊
I. Just loved your invention. Thanks so much for taking me along. Superb workmanship. Lemay. Nelson. Vancouver. Washington. Pacific northwest. USA
The finest rolling art I have ever seen its got everything, looks, mechanical wizardry and the best torque related sound ever even on idle.its just ace.
What incredible determination and ingenuity to have created this machine!
I'm constantly amazed how such a large twin can run so smooth, seems very little vibration. Amazing Allen!
I balanced the crank by eye and feel
@@AllenMillyard Of course you did,,,,,
You're the crank whisperer. Lol
it's a pleasure to sit listening to it running its that smooth
Wow! What an invention!!! What a talent!!! I am very impressed with the work! I especially liked the cylinders from the aircraft engine!!! 👍👍👍
I was counting individual combustion hits listening to that engine; what a glorious sound!
Smiles per mile, genius, love it, yer, bikes, the builds and just yer way o doing thingz
Absolutely fantastic. My favorite “Millyard” motorcycle. I watched it on my 75” tv with the surround on. Sounds AMAZING. Looks AMAZING. What a bike. Great job!
Alan ,
The King of England should Knight you!
When I win the lottery I’m buying the house next door so I can peek over the fence, Hear the sounds; help with the heaving lifting.
You are one step away of my Hero’s wishing you all the best! CHEERS from the USA..
This truly warms my soul. Thank you so much for sharing this superb stuff with us!
Living legend , bike and rider 👍👍
This indeed a work of ART !!! SO BEAUTIFUL!!!
I can only imagine what this would be like as a Single Cylinder Thumper, WOW. Just amazing
Those vibrations have an engine rather than vice versa, just brilliant!
You sir are a hugely talented engineer , words cannot describe my amazement , best resourcefulness I have ever seen , just wow .
I'm glad I listen through headphones. She sounds as good as she looks, loved seeing the people at the pub getting their phones out to get pics/videos as you passed.
Pure English skill and engineering you have my admiration. Your Flying Millyard brings back childhood memories of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang but on two wheels 😁👍👍
Mr. Millyard may indeed be a mad scientist, but you gotta admit: He puts out some awesome (and a little bit quirky) motorcycle video content. I'm a subscriber. Keep 'em coming, Doc!
Mad lads in sheds indeed!! Just the sheer talent of this man! I'm going to Barber Motorsports in Alabama this fall and I can't WAIT to see some of Allen's bikes!
Queued up behind Allen for the IOM ferry returning to Liverpool. He laughed at the prospect of the Flying Millyard filling the ferry hold with exhaust smoke on start up at Liverpool ! Great guy
Its incredible how smooth it runs!
Allen, you have those amazing skills we all love to see in a home made motorcycle. Sweet traces of Vincent, Excelsior, Crocker, Brough and others in your designs. Inspiration is the doorway to innovation and you have walked right through it proudly!
Bloody awesome!! From Australia! 🇦🇺🇦🇺🦘
Is this engineering or what, I take my hat off to you Allen.
It is brilliant.
Off the rails craziness barely out trumping off the charts genius!!!
What an amazing bike but what I really want is my own Charlie Weaver 😂. Thanks Allen for another cracking vid. 👍
It's like the Gardner diesel of motorcycles, a living breathing machine. Wonderful.
just beyond my comprehension really ...... must be like riding a narrow boat? fantastic vehicle for sure! thanks for the share.
3 beats a mile , what an amazing machine , pure work of art and all looking period as well
Oh my God, your content is getting better and better Allen!
Thank you for sharing your magnificent machine to us!
From Lewisport,KY. ALLAN IS BRILLIANT WHEN IT COMES TO DOING THINGS SOME PEOPLE SAY YOU CAN'T DO.
You sir just made my day 👍😍👍!!
Fires every 2nd lamp post! What a machine, brilliant!
Thanks Allen, just made my Friday even better, look foward to the Viper vid.
Bloody humbling to even just look at, hat off to you Sir
I'm starting to look for a Tardis in the background.
Just Amazing.
I could talk to you for hours and hours about all the processes that went into making this bike, pure engineering excellence 👍👍👍👍👍
You amaze me on every video i watch ! Im a self proclaimed HD mechanic and ive built some nice bikes myself . You make one of a kind bikes from scratch which is a whole other level
Early farm equipment. Love it. You are wonderful mechanic.
The perfect expression of Allen himself: civilized lunacy ;)
I've never been a fanboy of anyone - but if I saw Alan on the road in any of his creations I would stop where I was going or what I was doing and follow sensibly until I could say "hello, I love your work and thank you for the videos". And then offer to buy a drink (or two..).
I have been waiting for this. Wasn't disappointed. Brilliant.
Alan Millyard , is an incredible guy ,,, GIANT job by a GIANT guy ,,, realy great respect
A great video..She looks a little challenging to ride....
You said that your next video is on the viper...yippee
This is far and away the coolest bike I have ever seen
Alan outstanding as always pure genius and true one off motorcycles that surely must rank with the best in the world, and all from an English shed, I am sure another major motorcycling icon started in a shed! Here’s looking to your future.
These wonderful videos are just the tonic for lockdown gearheads fabulous thank you sir
It's strange hearing such low engine speed. It just seems wrong. Amazing.
Ya shoulda heard the 60s Royal Endfield ,twins, they would go ka chug 1,2 ka chug 3,4 ka chug 1,2 ka chug ,3,4 at idle at a stoplight ! 60mph was low idle, max rpm 1200 at 120mph !!! If you ever heard one,you never forgot it !!
And with every ka chug, it would vibrate from taillight to front fender stop for one second and DO IT AGAIN !!!
"Made some carbs" and "designed the balance weight by eye" Genius!
I love it that in this day and age it's still legal to create a completely bonkers motorcycle and ride it on the road. Long may it continue.
I was surprised how quick it got up and went then realized that thing must have unbelievable torque.
UUH YEAH we talking 5L here ...
As they say in the USA - Totaly Awesome!!! And really good filming from the both of you. Most enjoyment I've had on UT for ages ....Thank You.
This is one of the most amazing machines I've ever seen! No joke: I just commented on Jay Leno's Garage to have you on the show. Really amazing craftsmanship that captures early motorcycling and airplanes. Great stuff.
HEAR HEAR, even Leno ought to be impressed with this ...I'd like to see Leno gobsmacked to where he was wordless
Amazing. You're a far more advanced rider than I ever was. I wouldn't have a clue about riding this. Thank you for the video.
Stunning. One of the most fantastic machines I've seen.
At tick over, it sounds a bit like a stationary engine. Musical.
The man is a genius. That's a crazy machine.....looks like a cross between a traction engine and a time machine and sounds like a boat! The brakes look scary....awesome though, so glad I found this channel!
Little bit of sanity in a messed up world, thank you !
WOW! Simply can't get the words out to give you and the Flying Millyard a truly deserving compliment. Allen, you are amongst a rare breed indeed.
Thank you for allowing me to watch this.
Terry.
