When watching Allen's videos, anyone else find themselves periodically shaking their head in awe at his effortless ability and ingenuity?

If someone was to tell me that Allen was making a replica space shuttle out of four Honda C90's I would not be surprised :-)

Watching Allens videos has refired my interest in bikes. I have a project in the garage that has stood untouched for 2 years, ill health with mild depression and cancer had taken away my zest for life but these vids have lifted me. I've started spannering again and its all thanks to Mr Millyard. Thank you sir.

Allen’s engineering genius is only surpassed by is skill in stealing cup cakes from the kitchen👍

Epic - if Oscars could be given for engineering brilliance Allen would have a cabinet full of those little golden chaps :)))

Masterful. In 15 minutes you'll learn more about engineering and a "can do" attitude than 99.9% of all "self-help/motivational" videos. 1 man, 1 hacksaw & a universe of ideas.

'We are absolutely blessed that Allen is sharing these videos with us'..... somebody else said it and I totally agree. A genius. Those bath plugs and chain are fabulous🤣🤣🤣🤣👍🇬🇧

I swear I can feel my brain spinning in my skull when I watch your videos Allen.

We Brits are amazed at Allen’s creations (bloke in shed) with soft spoken voice, hacksaw, barbecue, lathe etc. I can’t imagine how impressed our American cousins are, if this was in America it would be at least four engineers in a massive workshop with every conceivable power tool known to mankind. Thanks Allen

Apart from his sheer brilliance, I most enjoy Allen's childlike enthusiasm that never seems to diminish. WONDERFUL!

The technical minds focus solely on the myriad of mechanical challenges facing a project like this while the creative mind sees only the endless possibilities. Allen Millyard is that rare bird who processes a wonderful balance of both worlds👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Clicking the thumbs up just once does not do this video justice , truly amazing.

Honestly, I had a huge smile on my face when that beautiful engine started up, priceless and all sustained by Tracy's cup cakes.

You don't get too many naturally gifted engineers like this dude,

The 3 “dislikes” must be Allen’s immediate neighbours who occasionally have to listen to that wonderful 6 cylinder engine noise. I think it’s quite musical.

I discovered Allen's videos a couple years ago, haven't missed one since and have watched all the ones I missed. He is my favorite human being and a treasure.

There are not enough superlatives for this genius engineer. Fantastic video explaining the complete process and thinking . Wonderful

The secret to building the world's greatest motorcycles....Cupcakes! After a frustrating evening in the workshop I came inside for a beer, to warm up and to watch this video. I will find a solution to complelte my project, just like you always do. Might take a bit of thinking, and a lot of work, but I will get the job done. Thanks for making my bad day into a better tomorrow.

Allen is a true engineering genius. If I only had a fraction of his talent I would be a happy man.

Allen will be one of those great names that go down in history the skill and humbleness is inspiring

Every time I watch one of your videos I am blown away by your knowledge, skills and abilities. I would never believe anyone could scratch build a motorcycle and engine in their "shed with a hack saw, welder, lath and milling machine" but there you are doing it and more than once. You Sir are a Genius

Arise Sir Allen. Brilliant.

We're absolutely blessed that Allen is sharing these videos with us ! Keep em coming 👍👌

What gets me is that very few of Mr. Millyard's bike projects fought him hard. That is a true testament of his skills. When you have a gift, you can make the ultracomplex simple and make masterpieces out of junk.

Got to be honest Allen. Words fail me. I cant adequately say what I want. The front hub is a work of art. The engine sounds amazing.

Because of his matter of fact delivery it's so easy to forget that what Allan does isn't normal for one man in a garage. Individual projects of his would make teams of engineers proud. His life's work, after work, would be enough to make a legendary marque.

Every single part is a work of art. The attention to detail is amazing - even simulating a casting finish on an otherwise smooth machined brake plate.

It Allways gets a better day, when there comes new videos from the magician Allen Millyard. 👍👍👍

This Guy is Proper Engineering at its Best. Old School Skills you Can't Beat!!

Allen, I introduced my 86 year old dad to your videos as I knew he would love them. He was an aircraft mechanic in the 1950's and trained on Merlins etc. and has always been pretty handy on the tools so I knew what you do would be up his street. It is fair to say you are now his hero. The quality of your work, the ambition and the skills you bring to the most amazing projects is just breathtaking. We are both eagerly awaiting the next instalment on your RC374!

Brilliant engineer, the Leonardo Da Vinci of our times.

The phrase “engineering god” springs to mind, also wonder why some manufacturers haven’t snapped him up but I doubt they could afford him, 👍👍👍👍👍

Sunday arvo! Pint and millyard on the TV. What lockdown 😂

Watching Allen's video is a bit like a double edge sword. One side it's brilliant and mesmerising to watch, inspiring and uplifting. The other side is when I try and cut a cylinder head and end up with a slopey side, bits missing and a jar full of extras I didn't fit and it doesn't even start. I quickly realise my inadequacies and my incompetence are greater than I imagined. Please don't ever stop making videos Allen. We are all trying to be better with our own projects as a result of watching your amazing work. 👏👏👏👏👏

When Allen started it up my little Westie, who's blind and virtually deaf, and who was sitting in the room, barked back. Had to grin.

How come it takes many years and much money for Honda to produce a new engine, You take 3 months to produce a master peace and be well pleased with that. Unbelievable work Allan. Best video to date.

Back to assembling my Ikea table wondering why I am wasting my life. God. What a craftsmanship and craftswomanship ( cupcakes).

When you can say 'I made my own Bike' Even down to the rivets in the front mudguard! The bath plugs and chain for the carbs made me chuckle! Pure genius!

“I needed some cast iron liners for the brakes, so I went and bought some car ones!” Utter genius! That front hub is a thing of beauty. Looking forward to seeing the next episode!

Allen's motorcycle world is full of creativity, genius, skill, and great homemade cupcakes.

I feel privileged to be able to watch Allen Millyard performing his magic.

What a great way to start my day. A cup of tea , two slices of toast, and a video of Allen showing us his genius. Now I’m set , and ready to face the mother-in-law later on.🙂

In agreement with other posters, and guilty of repeating myself, but as ever totally gobsmacked by Alan's bike building genius.

That hub is a work of art in its own right. Wonderful engineering.

His ingenuity never ceases to amaze me.....

this guy is a legend, i have learnt so much from his videos.

I thought seeing you build the engine was amazing then to watch how you build the rest of the bike (from magazine pics!!) including making the hub and brakes, I and I'm sure many others are in awe. Thanks for sharing Allen.

"Six cylinder Honda 500cc, sir? Let me have two cupcakes and I'll get right back to you."

To make my day even better, my Millyard T shirt arrived a bit ago, And it fits perfect!

I am well pleased to see you were able to nick two cupcakes, three would have been excessive. Rock On Mr. Millyard! The bike looks and sounds amazing!

Awesome. Usually, models are made from pics of the full sized bike. You made a full sized bike with pics of a model. Beyond words!

Allen, you should have your own series on TV - I wouldn't really care what you chose to do / talk about, because I know it would be absolutely brilliant. Thank you for these phenomenal videos.

I am in absolute amazement of his ability to design and build anything he pleases. If he wasn't a motorcycle engineer he should have been. And he's an expert at pinching cupcakes.

Well done Tracey for keeping Allen well stocked with cup cakes, I did expect too see six nestled in the carbs instead of bath plugs! Love the hub machining they’re beautiful.😁

The attention to details is amazing. Those air scoops on the front break are flawless. Can’t wait for next episode. The cupcakes are great looking too.

Stunning skill and attention to detail, right down to hand-made rivets for the mud guards. Allen's work as a guy in his shed is next-level, boggles-the-mind stuff. But it also makes me appreciate the work the engineers at Honda put in all those years ago to make the original.

Every time I see your cup of tea in the background, I think of all the times I soured my cup of coffee with metal shavings or grinding sparks.

Fantastic !!!!!! Thank you so much. If only we had more people like Allen - surely our magnificent country would be 'GREAT' again. None of the dead heads we've got in Britain at the moment!!!!!!!

The first time I met Mike hailwood he was sitting on the 250 that used to be in the Donington collection housed in the Donington Museum at Donington Park. Not sure what the event was. He was on a small display on the main road from the museum going north, outside the main circuit, next to a wall, revving it to please the few who knew what it was, and who he was. I was surprised how few stopped to check out the incredibly rare spectacle. No one spoke to him. I have no idea if they were in awe, disinterested or just ignorant. So I asked him if he knew how the double twin leading shoe brakes were linked up to the brake lever. He said: “I have no idea. I just rode them”!! This reply is of course at odds with the many anecdotes of Mike the Bike having a big say in various design features of different bikes during his career. He was a great bloke, even if his version seems to be somewhat at variance with the historical record. Maybe he was happy with the brakes and never needed to make any suggestions. The sound of your Six is just how I remember the original all those years ago. Cue the green tinged Guy Martin ‘Proper Impressed’ emoji.

More Millyard Magic. Thanks Al!

Allen your technical knowledge and ingenuity never ceases to amaze me.

I can imagine how exciting it was for you when you first started that magnificent engine. Wow. The sound.

That first start was awesome. I then put a whole cupcake in my mouth and it fitted perfect.

Thanks again so much. I love learning from the master.

You've really outdone yourself this time Mr. Millyard just unbelievable. There's a reason England ruled the world.

Since 1997 your creations were small stories in the major bike magazines which popped up maybe once a year. Now on youtube we have the motherload, all documented. Thanks Al.

I could watch Allen all day every day, my mrs wants Tracey’s cup cake recipe 😊

OFF! THE! HOOK! Allen makes building his own engine seem as easy as me cleaning my weed eater's carburetor. Sooooo nice!

Even seasoned engineers must take their hat off to your incredible skills and creativity, amazing work Allen!

What genius can effortlessly build a hand maid masterpiece and include baked goods at the same time nobody but Allen Millyard the man never disappoints 👍

First class , very well shot video and nicely explained too.

Whenever I watch your videos come away amazed at your workmanship, thoughtful detail/design and patience. Thank you so much for sharing.

To think you have made 52 bikes with insane attention to detail is an amazing legacy. Yoy should be required reading for engineering students. Bless you sir.

Allen, your work (wonders) will never cease to amaze.

As brilliant as all the engineering and fabrication are that go into the chassis and engine, I'm blown away by the home-built wheel hub and brake covers. Amazing!

This was a fantastic video! What a terrific job you’ve done. The attention to detail....to make that hub from a piece of billet on a wee bantam. I’m shocked! I wouldn’t believe it could be done without a cnc.

Absolutely brilliant. The Man uses a bbq to heat things up and makes bespoke tools from bits and bobs - none of this 'disposable society' and expensive equipment you use once or twice. I salute you sir.

This made my Sunday seeing those hubs being machined and assembled. Top job 🙂

Amazing as usual, Allen. Thank you!

It’s my first time to see how a race motorcycle front hub is made from scratch, I’m amazed by Allen’s talent.

You are a true genius. So many great things done, so precisely, with so little tools! I'm speechless! This is unbelievable!

There is a positive Covid19 fact: Allen got some time to do some video and he shares them with us. Thank you, buddy! 👌👍

Millyard is a true motorcycle treasure. The Michelangelo of hand built engines. Amazing to watch. First start and it runs better than mine after years of fiddling LOL!

Why on earth would you give this man a thumbs down. He is a genius. Thanks for sharing with us Allen.

You're an absolute genius! I've never heard an engine that sounded as crisp. I applaud you sir👏. The left and right side shift is the first time I've ever seen it done through the engine case. Wow!!! I must confess that I skipped ahead and saw the first public reveal. Wonderful. Can't wait for your next video. Thanks again for your time and videos. Have yourself a great day!

This must be my 5th or 6 th time watching this and it’s still as captivating as the first time. The man is a true genius.

You sir have a special talent. I’ve done a lot of fabrication, built many telescopes, built a Locost 7. But you make me look like a hack.

Always a pleasure to watch another Millyard clip.

It’s like watching a modern day Leonardo DaVinci working. Superb engineering skills and superb creativity. Beautiful workmanship in every aspect.

I’m always late getting a notification of when Allen posts a video. Best shop class you could buy.

Magnificent! I have just enough knowledge of fabrication to have an idea of the 75 ways I could have cocked up each operation you've pictured. My toes are curled, nails bitten & chair is fully puckered. Well done, Allen!

That was music to my ears. I remember that amazing sound at British race tracks in the sixties. To complete the nostalgia, the smell of Castrol R would do the trick.

"I hope you enjoyed the video". Under statement of the year! Every time Alan does a video it's just amazing. I wonder if Honda, Suzuki, Kawasaki etc watch Alan's channel and think why didn't we do that or make a bike as good as that . 😎🏍

Wow Lathing down that big ol’ Aluminum cylinder was epic!!! That’s some work right there!!

What sorcery is this? Allen you've done it again. Huzzaah!!! Soichiro Honda would be proud.

You could actually hear the RC174 over the constant babble coming from Martin? Amazing!

The thumbs looking better . Marvelous build . You are an inspiration to so many people . Once you start to see what is actually possible with some knowledge and perseverance it gives everyone a real boost .

How do you not have 10,000,000 subscribers why are you not on the history channel or the learning channel (in the U.S.A.) if they haven't contacted you thier crazy watching you is refreshing compared to what's on my 📺 telly in the states shops with 50 guys millions in every imaginable tools you could buy and it doesn't stand up to you thankyou for all of your videos

Soon as I see a new vid of yours I link it to everybody I know who likes this sort of engineering stuff.

So much swarf. Love the "faux" casting effect! Such attention to detail. Great stuff Allen thanks for all these details, just amazing!
