    日本人からのコメントですが、彼のやっているモーターバイクエンジンのモディフィケーション技術は完全に人類遺産とすべきレベル・クォリティであり、大いなる称賛と畏敬に値する、彼の存在は人間国宝と断定して間違いない。エヴェレスト級のリスペクト。
    From a Japanese, I would like to comment that the motorcycle engine modification technology he is doing is of a level and quality that should be completely a heritage of mankind and deserves great admiration and awe, and there is no doubt that he is a human national treasure. Everest level of respect.

    Using cereal box for templates has really made me smile. My dad is a great engineer and growing up I'd always find the boxes missing in the kitchen cupboard.
    I must have learnt something from him as I used a box as template yesterday to make something for my bike. Top video 👍

    What a great teaching video! Most people don't have your skills and would probably try to find ready made parts from another bike. I learn a lot from your videos. Thanks so much for your time!

    Making the spline was just amazing and enjoyable. I particularly liked it when he scribed a line across the aluminium with a sharpened spoke.

    You have given me the ability to love metal work Alan. I love the calculations, method and finished projects. You make it interesting for a layman and no doubt infuriating for all the metal hobbyists out there.
    However, I'm sure they're envy is short lived and replaced with appreciation for the detail and love you put into every piece that you make.
    I'd like to see you make a bicycle for speed. Big cogs and some sort of semi auto gearshift like you had on the mountain bike you made for your son. I've always wondered how many gears you'd need for pure speed on a road bike.
    Ah well I will dream on.
    Thank you ❤️ for your content.

    I've often wondered how to cut a spline, and I see It's basically magic. Thanks for sharing, T.

      It’s just one way that’s easy at home with limited equipment

    Other people try this sort of thing and it looks like Frankensteins monster, Allen does it and it is a work of pure art. Thank you sir.

    certainly an applied kaleidoscope of skill and experience ...
    we can all relate to in one level or another,though you have
    to admire the baking prowess of Mrs millyard 🏅🥇👌

    Just one of Britains very best engineers.
    Regarding the cup cakes, well I think your Tracy could start her own baking show so to rectify the continents misperception of the traditional british kitchen with all it's delites😎

    The frame making is beyond me but the spline making is more down to earth.

    Truly amazing Alan. You must have nerves of steel to leave the cup cake wrap where Tracey can find it.

    Allen,
    I already commented that your RC374 is my favorite of all of your bike builds. I really like this episode because you show how to make parts at home using simple tools available to most people (hack saw, files, drill press, etc.).
    If people try out your techniques in their own basements or garages, they might find it quite rewarding. Thank you for your videos! I really enjoy them. For some reason, I’m craving a cupcake right now, so, gotta go...
