    Allen is a motorcycle hero for me. He's quite famous here and makes it onto several mainstream TV programmes with his friend Henry Cole.
    I've been lucky to chat to him several times. He's a quite reservered fellow. So talented and I'm glad he's now doing his own UA-cam channel which I highly, highly recommend.
    Think that vid you showed a clip of has now been viewed about 110,000 times. Shows the popularity of Allen. Thanks again for mentioning our channel and best wishes.

    Allen is one of my favorite UA-camrs. I always laugh when he puts parts in the barbecue to dry. They were able to get the Viper up to 207 mph. According to Allen it was hard to release the throttle because it had so much torque. His kids BMX bicycle is another favorite. I saw his motorcycles at Barbers a couple months ago. They look like factory bikes instead of customs.

    His Flying Millyard is the pinnacle defined example of mechanical artwork. Allen is obviously an incredibly capable skilled craftsman who is also artistically talented. Real Craftsmen are so rare these days and someone who also has his creative artistry skills is nearly non existent!

      Wouldn't Allen be a great neighbor to have? Then you could pop over every once in awhile just to be amazed.
      I'll be putting some new tire on my Thruxton in a few weeks and getting it out again after that....weather permitting.
      What is it you especially like on that Triumph, you got me curious?

    His scratch-built RC 166 is his best effort .and oh those beautiful carbs .astonishing.. Henry Cole did a great interview w/ Allan on the build .. but you forgot " Le Dan" his motorcycles are far far from that 'factory' look.. but for what he has to start with, junk engines laying around.. this Asian guy out engineers Milliyard.. jaw-dropping .. I mean where do you begin ....let the superlatives roll ..check him out here on UA-cam.. www.youtube.com/@Le_Dan
