Millyard Viper V10 safety checks, and two up land speed attempt
Рет қаралды 509,911
11 ай бұрынIn this video I carry out some of the safety checks on my viper v10 prior to taking it to Elvington runway in Yorkshire UK to attempt to break the current Guinness world record for riding a motorcycle two up (currently 181.426 mph)
My passenger was TV personality and friend Henry Cole, and it was filmed for an episode of the Motorbike Show, the whole footage from Elvington can be seen in series 12 episode 5 on ITVx catchup. Thank you to Henry Cole for being a great sport going on the back of the Viper and for letting me use some of the Elvington footage in my video, Trevor Duckworth and his Straightliners team for putting on the UKITA records week at Elvington and Becci Ellis Photography for the photos and advise
hope you enjoy it as much as we did

Allen is a super talented fabricator, mechanic, innovator etc..WTF makes him a so called "National Treasure"? That has to be the most overused cliche on the internet along with "underrated" What nation is he a treasure of? Did he prevent a World War, cure cancer? STFU. He builds cool motorcycles.

Your skills and attitude are second to none. I'm pleased you were able to achieve the record safely because I'm sure your V10 motorcycle had more to give. It was brave of Henry and the trust he has in you. It's your patience, attitude and friendship with Henry that makes the land speed record most rewarding. You deserve every success Allen. You've created some fantastic motorcycles and your videoes are compelling to watch because of your ingenuity ,care and attention to detail. I'm pleased for both you and Henry. Regards Gary.

@davidelliott5843 11 ай бұрын
Patents are expensive to maintain and manufacturers always have expensive lawyers making legal workarounds. Norman Hossack developed a no dive (hub centre steered) front suspension. It was easily made with minimal precision but tuneable for accuracy. Nobody wanted to know (it’s different and bikers don’t like “different”). BMW simply waited for the patent to run out and copied the idea (used on some K bikes). Theirs is heavy and expensive and of course Norman never saw a penny.
