Great vid. It has to be said that Alan is the most humble and unassuming brilliant engineers the world has seen and watching his bikes out on the track and your chat in the paddock was awesome.
Thanks, yes he's a quiet guy and like you say humble. He was certainly nice to us and you never know how folks can react to being filmed. His own UA-cam channel is a film favourite of ours. A brilliantly talented engineer 👏
It's great he has the time the equipment and the knowledge to do what he does. I think a lot of potential is being lost by young people not having resources to feed their interests. We're stuck with working and owning nothing.
Thanks for showing us this. The highlight was your chat with Alan Millyard and his bikes. He's definitely the best, in my opinion, and so humble as well, a true gentleman and supreme engineer.
We hope he will be there next year. You're absolutely right, a great, unassuming guy with a remarkable talent. Appreciate the kind words about the video.
The 1960 and 1970s bikes certainly had some stunning colors. Seeing and talking to the great one "Allen Millyard " has to special . What an event to visit, very happy for you but a bit jealous. Thank goodness you two are bringing it to us.👍👍 The guy that almost ran into the gravel trap sounded American to me.😂
Allen seems a nice chap. Got the feeling he enjoyed coming to Prescott. They rode all those bikes there, probably via a couple of fuel stations. 🤣 Think the nearly in the gravel trap man may have had a Spanish sounding name?? Could be American 🤣 Didn't actually crash so 👍👍 to him for keeping us entertained
I always follow Alan this man is a Genius they are people out there who can make things in sheds and they are just great also like Guy, Martin another great man 😊
I think it's because the Japanese appreciate build quality and reliability while keeping to a reasonable price point. I've mostly owned Japanese motorcycles over the last 43 years.
@@Banditmanuk Thank you for your patronage, we thank you on behalf of the manufacturer. I remember 49 years ago when I was 16 and my seniors bought new 750cc bikes and rode them. Honda CB750 Four, Kawasaki ZII750, Suzuki water-cooled GT750, Yamaha XS1-650, Kawasaki (Meguro) W1-650, etc., I often had them ride in the back seat. My family was poor, so I couldn't buy it. It's a very nostalgic memory when I think about it now.
Thanks for a great video. It was super nice to see Allen and his bikes and family out in the wild. Thanks also for featuring that X7. I never owned one but I really enjoyed one that I once borrowed from a friend.
It was great to meet Allen, his brother, and his son. I had two mates with X7s back in 81. I had a Yam RD250LC. Great times and I still love to see and hear two stroke bikes. Thanks for watching
@@Banditmanuk I had a Benelli 250 2C from 1977 to 1979. Great chassis, good brakes, ever willing but easily worn out motor, horrible seat, tyres and electrics. Good fun but not as good as an X7.
Milliards 6 cylinder kwacker is a marvel or engineering, sounds amazing and is pure artwork. What a great event, some serious machinery, but I did laugh when you walked past the old British bikes and there's little oil spots under all of them 😂 Love the shirts too 🏝 😎👍
We are absolute fans of Mr Allen Millyard's work. That 6 cylinder Z1 looked and sounded amazing. He's an amazing engineering talent 👏 Its great seeing all the old bikes put through their paces, I'm sure oil slicks under bikes were a common occurrence before the Japanese showed the way. I do have quite a collection of loud shirts 🤣 Didn't fancy walking walking around in bike gear
Yeah, I follow Allen Millyard, and his bike builds are just amazing. Some people just have the skills to make anything they want. I really enjoy seeing motorcycles being ridden instead of sitting in a museum. I forgot the name of a museum which have stated that all their motorcycle on display are currently operational. I am a motorhead.... I seen the part with the wheelchair 13:20 and was thinking what kind of engine Allen Millyard could build for a wheelchair. Maybe Allen will read this comment and start a series of "How to build an engine for a wheelchair".
I'm the same, love seeing classic bikes being used and ridden. There's something slightly sad about seeing an immaculate, highly polished classic on a static display. I'm not sure if Allen reads the comments, hopefully he's watched the video. We are certainly fans of his engineering and his UA-cam channel. As for a motor for a wheelchair, I'm guessing it's already been done on UA-cam. The Colinfurze channel has certainly built some crazy things and his mobility scooter with a motorcycle engine is a crazy crazy thing! Anyway thanks for watching our tiny channel, cheers.
He’s simply a Wonderful Throwback to earlier times in both the US and UK where Craftsmen were Bold mechanics and machinists and were not afraid of anything.
He's certainly not afraid to try anything mechanical. I think he can picture the completed work in his head and proceed with few drawings. I guess you already subscribe to his UA-cam channel. Its great what he accomplished from his small home garage. Thanks for watching our little vid
As a previous motorcycle mechanic, and a motorcyclist, Allan's creations are simply functioning art. They just look factory built. And Hello from eastern Canada. 🇨🇦
That's a good description, functioning art. We are certainly in awe of his talent. Appreciate you watching all the way over in the beautiful country of Canada 🇨🇦
Loved the vid guys, thank you. A couple of my old bikes from my teenage years Suzuki X7 and the RD400. You can`t beat a screaming two stroke, with a whiff of castrol in the air. What Millie does with those Kawasaki`s is amazing. Like you said they just look like factory bikes. Oh to have a talent like that.
I started with an FS1E, then briefly an XS250 and then a RD250LC. Now have an XSR900 & MT10. Sounds like I'm a Yamaha man but owned & loved many bikes over the years. Would love another Two Stroke in the garage. Yep Allen is incredibly talented. We're massive fans. Thanks for watching our little vid, appreciate you leaving a comment
We were there too! Shame we didn't see you two. We really enjoyed the day. We got there super early and walked the whole track before the event started, just to get some perspective. (No, we didn't ride it. 😁) Never saw Richard Hammond but did ogle at Mr Millyards fabulous bikes!! He seems such a humble guy. This was our first ever visit to Prescott. We moved to Toddington, which is only 5 miles from there, a year ago. My neighbour is a member there and apparently their breakfast is very good!👍 It was a very pleasant day but was getting hotter and hotter by the hour! I didn't envy those riders in all their leathers. 🥵We might check out the Steelford supercar event there in August. Great video btw. 👍I did try and see if we were on it. We may have been sat on the benches opposite you when you were filming from the top of the hairpin.
Its a shame we didn't bump into each other there. Would have been nice to walk the track, we've not done that. We didn't get there until about 8.30. Allen is a humble quiet guy. He remembered us from the Previous year as I sent him some footage for him to use. His brother is super nice as well. I'm glad we arrived by car and not by bike. It's nice to wander around in lightweight gear when it's that hot. Richard Hammond didn't arrive until the afternoon and just sat on the bank watching
@@Banditmanuk Yes we also went in the car because it was too hot but also because we've sold our bikes! Hammond arriving later would explain why we didn't see him...I've actually stood next to him at Cotswold Motorrad whilst getting my bike serviced and he'd just booked his RT in. Not sure what to get next but definitely something lighter (I had a 1200GS and hubby had a Triumph 1200 Explorer). No rush as we want to enjoy our Z4 for a bit. Off to Thornton Le Dale soon. Will have a mooch round Mathewsons Auctions. I just hope we don't end up with a classic of some sort!! 😳 The editing on that video was brilliant btw!! 👍
@5coaly Yep both the BMW and Triumph are big bikes well suited to two up work which I guess you don't do. Don't think we will ever get Carol off her Street Triple (small, light but still fast) The fun bit is looking, best of luck. As for the editing, I'm still learning but trying to make things not too long or boring. Cheers and best wishes
Jeez heart in the mouth moment there guys good start ! . I must say guys I love those Kawasakis and that Z1 is a fab colour but I do prefer them as a 4 cylinder and the triple as a triple . Having said that Alan is an amazingly talented engineer that's for sure , great watch guys I would much rather see this event than the ABR without a doubt much enjoyed your great footage well done awesome bikes .👌👍
I get that not everyone likes what Alen does but I admire his engineering abilities and personality love many of his incredible creations. We thought there would be loads of people doing ABR vids (and there are!) Prescott has a more relaxed feel. We love it. Thanks for watching
I love the way you put these vids together. Another very enjoyable watch. Hilarious opening with the guy going in too hot 🤣 Very kind of Heath to lend you a shirt 😉👍🏼
I wondered how long it would be before someone commented on the shirt. It was hot and that was cool! I've got a wardrobe full 🤣 Yep the guy on BMW was a character
It was definitely quieter than last year. We thought most folks chose to head to the nearby ABR. We do like the relaxed atmosphere at Prescott. Appreciate you watching and commenting 👍
What a nutcase at the beginning😂 Oi oi you fashion icons, loving the outfits for the day 🤘 Ahhh I bet the noise throughout the whole day was incredible, you were in 2-stroke heaven that's for sure 👍 Never heard of a TriKing before. A Kawasaki/Suzuki hybrid? No, I don't vibe with it at all🤣 I didn't think "The Flying Merkle" was going to make the turn🤣 Great video guys, definitely needs it's own day rather than the same weekend at the ABR festival
🤣🤣 Too hot for biking gear, hence the 'unusual' look. Lots of crazy machines there and the air was thick with two stroke smoke. Prescott shared our video and commented on our remarks about it needing to be a different weekend to ABR. That's exactly what they've done for 2024, different weekend to ABR
@banditmanuk Brilliant vid, did you happen to get any footage of that very loud Manx Norton no 277? That was me and was hoping someone might have a bit of video. Thanks
@@peterbrown7130 I'm really sorry, even though I've shot lots of footage I couldn't find you. If you're at next year's event, message me and we'll do some filming of your machine and try to include you riding the hill in the next Prescott Festival.
Not that I'm knocking it by any means, but these creations are tributes to two philosophies: Wretched excess. If some is good, more is better, and too much is just enough. But, they are all engineering marvels, stunning engines mounted to frames, brakes, and tires that were barely adequate. Sort of like the Turbonique Black Widow.
I’m convinced Alan is a descendant of Albert Einstein. Out of all of Alans creations l can’t decide which is the finest looking machine, the RC 374 or the Kawasaki Super Six, if l had to chose it would be the Super Six by a whisker. If you’d never heard of Alan Millyard and someone told you he built all these bikes in his garden shed would you believe them?
@@Banditmanuk The one in AZ used to be the Territorial Capital WAAY back when. I have 12 bikes of several types ATM and I was still drooling over the sounds of those bikes being RIDDEN. (My '68 Yamaha 180 YC1S? has ben tucked into a corner since???)
@SmittyAZ Sounds like quite a collection, only 3 bikes in our garage at the moment. Think the beauty of this Prescott even is all the bikes are running and being used. Being nearly 60 myself I still love the 70s and 80s two strokes. Maybe one day I will make it over to Prescott Arizona.
The bloke with the disability took the hairpin better than anyone. I'm not British, but I think I can safely say that Allen Millyard is a national treasure.
To be honest, I love all of Allen's creations. He had his big V twin Flying Millyard there last year. Might be tax and mot exempt but chatting to them, those Kawasaki Two Strokes have a mighty thirst!
@@Banditmanuk at least that way it's pay as you go. That 5.7l made out of 2 aeroplane cylinder heads is also my favourite. The crank shift big end balancer alone is mighty impressive. Didn't it weigh around 25kg alone.
@@chrishart8548 I filmed Allen starting that and several of his other bikes at the National Motorcycle some years ago. The engineering of the whole bike is super impressive
Congratulations on the BSA, I guess you can ride it to next year's event?? Appreciate you checking out what happened at Prescott by watching our vid. Good luck with the BSA 👍👍
Great vid. It has to be said that Alan is the most humble and unassuming brilliant engineers the world has seen and watching his bikes out on the track and your chat in the paddock was awesome.

His own UA-cam channel is a film favourite of ours. A brilliantly talented engineer 👏
It's great he has the time the equipment and the knowledge to do what he does. I think a lot of potential is being lost by young people not having resources to feed their interests. We're stuck with working and owning nothing.
Love the Steward's/Marshal's felt 'Traffic Cone' hats... lol
It's just a fun event that raises money for Blood Bikers.
All the volunteers are brilliant that help out there.
Thanks for watching
Thanks for showing us this. The highlight was your chat with Alan Millyard and his bikes. He's definitely the best, in my opinion, and so humble as well, a true gentleman and supreme engineer.
Allen is the main reason we went. Lovely guy to chat to off camera
I really enjoyed that! Thanks for taking us there. I really like seeing Alan Millyard's creations, so perfect!
Yes Allen is great. We had a nice chat to him and his brother.
Such a talent
Thanks for watching
Well done video. Thanks for sharing with those who could not be there.
Appreciate you saying. Thanks for watching
Great video it’s made us want to go next year, Mr Millyard the most unassuming motorcycle engineering genius 🏍💨
We hope he will be there next year. You're absolutely right, a great, unassuming guy with a remarkable talent. Appreciate the kind words about the video.
Good to see him out and about on his bikes.
Certainly is, thanks for watching
Fantastic,thanks for sharing.

Good to meet you as well. Our tyre issue vid got pushed back to next Saturday.
Very nice....thanks a bunch ...from the village of fisher Sabine parish Louisiana
Good to hear from Louisiana . Thanks for watching
Allen is a genius, what he does with a hacksaw and a few files is amazing
He certainly is. A nice guy to speak to as well. Thanks for watching
Allen's super six is just perfect
Perfect indeed.Thanks for watching 🙏
thanks for this great coverage , as have not heard of this event before ;;
Thanks for watching, it's a great annual event. Well worth visiting if you're in England
Thoroughly enjoyed that, thank you. Looked like a Classic Bike and Back Street Heroes reunion festival

Thanks for watching, appreciate the comment 👍
I always follow Alan this man is a Genius they are people out there who can make things in sheds and they are just great also like Guy, Martin another great man 😊
Yes absolutely 👍 Both great men. Thanks for watching
Japanese motorcycles have been amazing for over 50 years. Honda, Yamaha, Suzuki, Kawasaki, it's amazing that they still have a presence in the world.
I think it's because the Japanese appreciate build quality and reliability while keeping to a reasonable price point. I've mostly owned Japanese motorcycles over the last 43 years.

@@Banditmanuk With my Sunbeams, the time to worry is when there isn't a small spot of oil. That tells you its all gone!
Wonderful video, minimum chatter, just lots of great bikes and great sounds!
Yes I think I would have had trouble in the comments section if I had put music over the sound of the bikes.
We loved the event, thanks for watching
I've seen so many clips and interviews about the Z1 Super Six but this is the first time I've seen getting ridden properly, what a great sound.
I'm glad you enjoyed seeing and hearing Allen's Super Six run on our little channel. We are big admirers of his work.
Thanks for watching
I wish we had more events like that here in Sydney. Thanks for sharing your day with us.
I think we're quite lucky, we live in the centre of England and can get to lots of the bike events within a couple of hours. Thanks for watching
From the comments and videos on here it appears that the motorcycle culture Down Under is under attack for some reason.
Yeah, I follow Allen Millyard, and his bike builds are just amazing. Some people just have the skills to make anything they want. I really enjoy seeing motorcycles being ridden instead of sitting in a museum. I forgot the name of a museum which have stated that all their motorcycle on display are currently operational.

Fun stuff. Great variety, excellent hillclimb course and Mr Millyard’s bikes are the frosting on the cake - thanks!
Thanks for saying Bryan. Appreciate you watching.

Looked like a great day out, and some fantastic bikes to see.
We loved it there. Highly recommended event. Thanks for watching
He’s simply a Wonderful Throwback to earlier times in both the US and UK where Craftsmen were Bold mechanics and machinists and were not afraid of anything.

I guess you already subscribe to his UA-cam channel. Its great what he accomplished from his small home garage.

It’s a petrol ⛽️ heads convention! You met the legendary Alan Millyard. Brilliant as always! I think I would have called the Honda a Honzuki!! 😂

Great video, really enjoyed it. It did look quiet but I didn't think it was crazy busy last year. I was a little disappointed with it then tbh.
It was definitely quieter than last year. We thought most folks chose to head to the nearby ABR. We do like the relaxed atmosphere at Prescott.

Brilliant
Thanks Nick 👍
Looked a good day out, I have not been there. That festival of Japanese classics is at Industry and supply at Weedon. August 13th.
What a nutcase at the beginning😂
Oi oi you fashion icons, loving the outfits for the day 🤘
Ahhh I bet the noise throughout the whole day was incredible, you were in 2-stroke heaven that's for sure 👍
Never heard of a TriKing before.
A Kawasaki/Suzuki hybrid? No, I don't vibe with it at all🤣
I didn't think "The Flying Merkle" was going to make the turn🤣
Great video guys, definitely needs it's own day rather than the same weekend at the ABR festival
🤣🤣 Too hot for biking gear, hence the 'unusual' look.
Lots of crazy machines there and the air was thick with two stroke smoke.
Prescott shared our video and commented on our remarks about it needing to be a different weekend to ABR. That's exactly what they've done for 2024, different weekend to ABR
Would swear i saw Allen driving out on the A4 this past Friday on the Kawasaki
He's riding the Z1 a lot at the moment. Think he's out on it again tomorrow to another meeting (maybe at Cadwell??) EDIT: Sorry Thruxton
Que buenos videos que hacen que pareja linda que son.saludos Rafa de mardel plata Argentina

Not that I'm knocking it by any means, but these creations are tributes to two philosophies:
Wretched excess.
If some is good, more is better, and too much is just enough.
But, they are all engineering marvels, stunning engines mounted to frames, brakes, and tires that were barely adequate. Sort of like the Turbonique Black Widow.
This was a great show. Some very nice models were there. Some were elaborated too. How long is the track there?
It's about a kilometre but very twisty. Yep some great machines there.
I’m convinced Alan is a descendant of Albert Einstein.
Out of all of Alans creations l can’t decide which is the finest looking machine, the RC 374 or the Kawasaki Super Six, if l had to chose it would be the Super Six by a whisker.

We are massive fans of Allen Millyard.
Thanks for watching 🙏
Hello from ARIZONA, USA!
I guess you meant a different Prescott!
Hello Arizona. I'll bet we had our Prescott named first. Always good to hear from the USA
@@Banditmanuk The one in AZ used to be the Territorial Capital WAAY back when.
I have 12 bikes of several types ATM and I was still drooling over the sounds of those bikes being RIDDEN. (My '68 Yamaha 180 YC1S? has ben tucked into a corner since???)
@SmittyAZ Sounds like quite a collection, only 3 bikes in our garage at the moment. Think the beauty of this Prescott even is all the bikes are running and being used. Being nearly 60 myself I still love the 70s and 80s two strokes.
Maybe one day I will make it over to Prescott Arizona.
The bloke with the disability took the hairpin better than anyone.
I'm not British, but I think I can safely say that Allen Millyard is a national treasure.
He sure did, we were really impressed. A top rider I think.
As for Allen Millyard. Talented engineer and all round nice guy. Appreciate you watching.
I like the 2 stoke triple kawasaki with the extra cylinder. Nice its tax and mot exempt.
To be honest, I love all of Allen's creations. He had his big V twin Flying Millyard there last year. Might be tax and mot exempt but chatting to them, those Kawasaki Two Strokes have a mighty thirst!
@@Banditmanuk at least that way it's pay as you go. That 5.7l made out of 2 aeroplane cylinder heads is also my favourite. The crank shift big end balancer alone is mighty impressive. Didn't it weigh around 25kg alone.
@@chrishart8548 I filmed Allen starting that and several of his other bikes at the National Motorcycle some years ago. The engineering of the whole bike is super impressive
there was no Rumi?
Sorry, but I've got no idea what you're talking about ?
@@Banditmanuk Rumi is a name of an Italian company that made motorbikes and scooters in the 50s..
@@turbolenza35 Thanks for the reply. I'm now a little wiser and will keep a look out for one at next weekend's Stafford Classic 👍
I should have been at Prescott but I went to buy a BSA instead!
Congratulations on the BSA, I guess you can ride it to next year's event?? Appreciate you checking out what happened at Prescott by watching our vid. Good luck with the BSA 👍👍
mis judged the hair pin, mill yard
Kawasaki could so easily have made their own Super Six. Instead they made that nasty dud water cooled 1300.
Allen's looked and sounded amazing and yes better than that coffin tanked 1300
