      Absolutely. The amount of crap I’ve removed from used bikes over the years: horrible anodised levers, fake carbon, iridium screens, ‘amusing’ shock reservoirs, all in the name of ‘modification’. Give me strength. Allen’s bikes are knee-weakeningly beautiful. One day...

      This time Allen turned up mob handed with his mate too so there were two Millyard bikes. On a trail. Good lord imagine being out for a ride and seeing/hearing that.

    Greetings from Southern Minnesota USA. I loved this video. Got the chance to see some very nice countryside and some fab bikes. Three years ago I bought my first Kawasaki, In the showroom it looked brand new but i noticed 21,000 miles on the odometer. Since there were no logos on the bike anywhere, it sort of looked like a Harley Davidson but couldn't be sure. I asked the sales lady for more information on it and it turned out to be a 1999 VN 1500 G1A Vulcan 1500 Nomad.. The bike was 20 years old, wow, It looked seriously brand new. Don't remember how much I paid for it after I took it for a test ride, barely on the throttle I was very quickly doing 90 mph. I got back and said "SOLD".. Its an impressive bike to ride. I see the factory specs for a zero to 100 mph being a very rapid 5.25 seconds
    I ride it to live and have never opened the throttle even half way, you simply have no need to. I am sure its a bike you would love to take for a ride.
    keep the shiny side up.
