Allen is a super talented fabricator, mechanic, innovator etc..WTF makes him a so called "National Treasure"? That has to be the most overused cliche on the internet along with "underrated" What nation is he a treasure of? Did he prevent a World War, cure cancer? STFU. He builds cool motorcycles.

Fantastic achievement. More so because you made that bike Allen. Well done!

How can someone so mild mannered and softly spoken have designed such a beast of a bike?? It's always the quiet ones 😉 Don't ever stop Alan, you bloody legend!!!

I can see how such a mild mannered, and fastidious guy can be brilliant engineer, but not quite how they can also be such a hard-core speed nut.😮 Glad you're around Allen, and YT allows you to share your genius and passions with us. Thanks!

The best thing I’ve watched for a long time. Just engineering brilliance with a mix of humility. No tee shirts, no yee haa!, no give aways. Congratulations on the records. Just getting into the power band at the checkered flag 😂

Congratulations Allen & Henry. Love and respect to you both. I was moved to tears by your land speed record video. Your're an incredibly inspiring engineer and motorcycle enthusiast. Your skills and attitude are second to none. I'm pleased you were able to achieve the record safely because I'm sure your V10 motorcycle had more to give. It was brave of Henry and the trust he has in you. It's your patience, attitude and friendship with Henry that makes the land speed record most rewarding. You deserve every success Allen. You've created some fantastic motorcycles and your videoes are compelling to watch because of your ingenuity ,care and attention to detail. I'm pleased for both you and Henry. Regards Gary.

As a retired motorcycle mechanic/rider & commercial photographer I want to commend you on the technical skills and care applied to the magnificent machine you created and brought to life as well as the very professional video documenting your painstaking efforts and success! Warm & sincere congratulations from across the pond!

I think Henry is a very brave man to sit on the back. Easy to get thrown off the back with all that power and speed. Well done both of you.

Have never met anyone who is into motorbikes who don't think Henry cole a complete knob! He is no real motorcyclist! All me mates find him terribly annoying and boring with his monotonic voice. Saw him at a bike show last year, no one wanted to talk to him!

Alan The man who thanks everyone else.. but never Big's himself up! What an absolute legend! ;0)

Listening to and watching Allen work on his bikes is always like a meditation. Then there is the juxtaposition of Allen squeezing the berries out of that V10 at Elvington. I swore in amazement. You both have bigger testicles than me! Congrats on the records.

Congratulations Allen. Remarkable achievement. Best wishes, Dean.

Can anything be more amazing than what you have achieved Allen!!! Actually there is one thing... YOU!! You will never ever be beaten for the most humble genius ever to live. God Bless You 💙

I absolutely love your work Mr Millyard! I have so much respect for you in how you operate and work on these amazing machines! Never ever stop being you! Wonderful mate just wonderful!!

Nothing left to chance. Meticulous preparation. Such a well deserved world record. May it stand for a long, long time.

Taking my hat of now! That purist dedication and bravery to do something like this is what I can not easily in my mind somehow comprehend? I am speechless now! 😮

This is such a work of art. That front wheel/brake assembly is genius.

What a great ride you built . You are a master at your craft . A humble man at that . Proud of you . Congrats from the U.S.A.

What a machine, excellent engineering and a excellent video....highly entertaining...thank you.

You are an amazing man, Mr. Millyard, and that is an understatement.

You sir are an absolute genius. I wish I had a small amount of your abilities. Hell of a builder and bike rider. Hope you have many years of success.

Great video, such a impressive machine everything is so well thought out as well loved the main stand ratchet system.

Brilliant design, amazing engineering and construction, superb attention to detail! As a kid in the 50s, I recall my late father balancing our prewar car tyres (6.50 x 19) the same way. Congrats to you both on the records!

What a video. Entertainment on many levels. Allen, your Viper Bike is an absolute masterpiece.

Congratulations Allen & Henry. Huge respect to you both for having the confidence and courage to even consider attempting your land speed record. Your skills and attitude are second to none. I'm relived you were able to achieve the record safely because while I'm sure your V10 motorcycle had more to give, I'm pleased you and Henry are safe because at those speeds small factors have big influences and things can go very wrong very quickly, For example, while you balanced the wheel and tyre combination very accurately, matching the wheel and the tyre for radial force variation, is equally important at those speeds, but as this can be done on the same jig with a dial gauge using the uniformity method, I would imagine you previolsly counter matched the wheel and tyre ? I worked in R&D for JCB and in 1987 built the first prototype of one of their unique machines, and like to “tinker with bikes and other projects myself” so I really do understand as well as most just what its like to stare at a part and think I wonder if there is better way to install it, and also for it not to clash with other parts. Not easy As so many others have said you’re an incredibly inspiring engineer and we can only marvel not only at the attention to detail on everything you have built, but the brilliant video compiling too, 😀as so many have commented your workmanship and filming are a masterclass. Thanks for posting on here for us all to share. Can’t wait to see your next project ! Maybe an electric or jet powered bike !

What a machine 😊, Marvellous engineering skills 👍,

An absolute pleasure to watch and listen to you Allen,your humbleness hides a very calculated and executed masterpiece. Congratulations on your world records. An acknowledgement of your skills.

I just love to see genuinely creative people get recognized. Congratulations to a person who does not see limits like the rest of us.

Congratulations Allen, and it’s so great to hear the V10 at full power. It made me think of a Merlin (I can’t count fast enough to hear the difference between 10 and 12 cylinders). Seeing a new AM vid in the inbox is like getting a surprise slice of cake

Merci Allen, c’est vraiment incroyable !!! C’est un vrai plaisir de regarder tes vidéos !!! Franck

The bike is a masterpiece of skill and engineering. Both you and Henry are immensely talented ( and brave). Congrats to you both and the bike for being World Record Holders.!

Good to see you again Allan. You are just so damn relaxed about everything. Even after going 183 miles per hour, on such a small stretch ! Very cool man Cheers from New Zealand 🇳🇿

As an "Engineer" I can't start to say how much I love your work. ❤

Congratulations on breaking both records. What an amazing machine.

Magnificent, well done Allen, a master piece of your engineering, from an avid watcher of you and the motobike show, would not be the same without you. Keep it going. AlanG

Great to see you and Henry larking around. The friendship and (especially) the mutual trust between you shines through during your escapades.

what a machine Allen!…congrats on record…and i’ll bet , with this bike, you’ve got a few other broken records in there that weren’t sought after and aren’t official yet…incredible engineering and execution!…

Wow that centre stand makes light work. If you built that it would be useful video. If you designed it, it should be patented as sure a lot of mainstream manufacturers could incorporate this. Excellent work and vids as always

Patents are expensive to maintain and manufacturers always have expensive lawyers making legal workarounds. Norman Hossack developed a no dive (hub centre steered) front suspension. It was easily made with minimal precision but tuneable for accuracy. Nobody wanted to know (it’s different and bikers don’t like “different”). BMW simply waited for the patent to run out and copied the idea (used on some K bikes). Theirs is heavy and expensive and of course Norman never saw a penny.

A thoroughly lovely bloke wrapped in a genuine genius engineer and designer. Just amazing….the fact this beast of a machine (and, I believe, all Allen’s other beautiful bikes) is hand made in a “little shed near Reading” blows my mind! You Sir, are a legend and inspiration! 🫡🫡🫡

Sir Millyard with only a hacksaw, welder and Mill you are able to create literal dream motorcycles and their engines. Thank you.

Outstanding, yet the pre-race check was super informative too. You are one hell of a designer! And very gutsy as a rider on such a bike, very gutsy indeed!

Sincere congratulations to both of you and especially to you Allen for building such a two wheeled work of art!

You're an inspiration to any engineer, no matter how competent they are.

I love the way you meticulously inspect and oil the machine before the race. That stand is a genius piece of mechanics. The video that follows along the process is also a wonderful display of videography. Thanks for let us in to your shop and brains.

Well done Sir what you achieve with basic tools in pretty much a garden shed is giving so many people the inspiration to turn a idea into a project

Congratulations on your record. The whole thing is just hard to wrap my head around you’re the man for sure.

If there was such a thing as re incarnation I want to be born with Mr MIllyards skills. When spannering everything myself with nervous caution then you see a master genius at work. Salutations to you both. Love the motorbike show mainly for the rebuilds.
