This bloke is bloody amazing, boring though. Can't wait for part two.

"Couldn't get the carbs to work properly, so I made my own" as you do!!!
The man is areal genius.
Check out the interview he did with 'The Missenden Flyer' on YT - interesting.
Here's part two, bike almost revs to three figures.

Just awesome clip,genius with his toy.
Mmmm, I must remember to pack my swiss army knife too, just in case i need to rebuild my engine at the side of the road......a great tip Alan :rofl2:
On a more serious note, yep, this guy is a genius, and one day i want to live next to him!!
As I recall
@Tony Nitrous has met the man.
Yes a true genius no doubt, he, and his creations, are legendary.
Another nutty project when 5 litres still cant cut it.

He's a genius when it comes to building bikes :onya:
The V10 Viper is a superb bike. I wouldn't want to try pushing it though!
Met him a few years ago at the NEC....very quiet unassuming man...but put him in a shed with some metal, a hacksaw & a file.....and out comes a Z1 super six.......that looks factory built.....astounding engineer and builder
He's at it again :clapping:

:notworthy: just.....wow......
I would like to have just a fraction of his skills, I'd be a happy boy :notworthy: :hat:
That's weird i was only watching some Allen Millyard's clips this week on Youtube and thought i'd post a link on here but never did.
What a talented guy. :notworthy: Would love to see him and Guy Martin build something together. :cheers:
Dunno - I cant see Guy contributing anything further to Alan's immense talent.
(not a negative about Guy, but rather a comment in just how good an engineer and creative thinker Alan is)
I like his V Twin Velocette. Would be unreal for a little run around. Maybe we should petition him to make a V8 Suzuki GSX 1400. Even a V12, would be 4200 cc. Wow.
I didn't think he had much of a sense of humour until recently when he rings Gretta up to advise her he is starting up one one of his bikes. :lol: :lol:

Guy Martin did build his Pikes Peak record breaking turbo bike (not sure what make/ model) and hes restored a Merlin spitfire engine, so those two would be a considerable talent when combined.

He also built his wall of death bike, A Trident I think.
