Allen Millyard

So many things stay with me from visiting Barber Motorsports Museum, Allen Millyard's builds on display there are some of them. I didn't realize he had a YouTube channel and I've recently been enjoying his videos greatly, check em out if you haven't yet - very fascinating!

V8 Z1, so cool

 I've always enjoyed checking out his Kawasaki creations, will have to check and see if or what other brands he modifies.

He doesn't just modify. He has built from scratch several bikes as well as the motors.
His Flying Millyard is great.
A V10 Viper motored bike too.

I've been following him for several years. Kool Kat he is using old school tooling. Simply cracking.

Amazing fabricator and machinist. I just can’t understand how he accomplishes so much! I usually brew a fresh cup of coffee before watching any of his videos. Mesmerizing.
