Thanks for talking to Allen, and letting him speak about himself, we're so used to him being on camera. What a humble genius he is!!

I remember visiting Allen back in 07 or 08, to chat mountain bikes. I asked what was under the blanket in the garage.. “a Dodge Viper engine, I’m going to make a bike with it” - I was like.. ok then ! A softly spoken genius no doubt.

Just love Allen!!!! Legend! 👌😀🏍️ Just realised this video has a few thumbs down hits-WHY?! What is wrong with people?!! Allen is a genius and is a fantastic engineer and has invented something no one else would be brave enough to do. Love all of his work keep it up Allen 👍👏👏👏👏

Met Allen at Bicester Heritage with his ‘flying Millyard’, truly incredible, and the detachable kickstart is a work of art.

Anyone would run out of superlatives for this man. Such a genius ( a word that’s been used often here, but have to agree) and incredibly humble. You get goose bumps just watching and listening.

Used to follow him to work regularly in the warmer weather when he worked as a ministry of defence engineer. His creations blew my mind and had me hooked on 2 stroke engines

"Chitty chitty bang bang" Oh, know I get it. I think Mr Millyard is currently my favorite person on earth.

What an absolute legend Allen Millyard is, a true shed genius who shows just what genuine ingenuity and skill can create.

Always love to see Allen’s creations ! And Henry of course 👍🏻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

I want to smother Alan in love and praise and admiration and everything. He's found fame in Henry's shows and has earned buckets of admiration for creativity, engineering and humility. We are so blessed to se one man who DESERVES it all. (That's as well as Henry of course. How can you not love Henry to bits. )

Mr A Millyard is a genius.

Good old Henry has the knack of surrounding himself with talented people all of which are clever but humble nice down to earth people.

Can we have the full motor bike series Henry as there’s nobody on KZread that actually has the all and no other formats have them 🙏👍

Met Allen a couple of times at different shows, always a gentleman, always happy to chat. Filmed him starting some of those bikes at the National Motorcycle Museum open day where weirdly there was a guy walking around looking just like you....... it wasn't you because you were signing copies of your book inside.

Alan is a humble one-of-a-kind, one would never guess he's such a talented and successful engineer.

Allen is an absolute genius love watching him work in his workshop! Your not so bad yourself Henry!!

He is an engineer in true sense. The man who had managed to absorb all the engineering concepts of his craft. Fabulous. Most of all, he used to be the Defense dept. Engineer, that speaks a lot about the man himself.

man I just found this guys videos ...he is jut top drawer period ! never seen anything like him ....and such a wonder full person ....

I feel like being on the telly must be a real challenge for what I sense is an introverted Allen but he really shines in his gentle way. Total respect for you both.

Allen Millyard 🥰. Beautiful human being and engineering genius; a heady mix. I'm besotted.

Great interview , the man’s a genius

A magician with metal is Allen, and proof that nothing is impossible and going your own way is perfectly fine. 👍

99cc V-Twin engine ... I've had nightmares that made more sense than that. But it just WORKS!!!! The man is a genius.

What a brilliant humble man a genius with the spanners.

Very few people leave an impression but this guy does,

Coles a great entertainer and presenter,Millyards a genius. He's done so many builds, rebuilds and modifications. For me a little thing he did with the Viper bike just epitomises his talent. Not the enormous engine, not the quirky 'backfire' button but the ' centre stand'. That stand was so clever, so thoughtful and makes that enormous machine that bit more usable and easy to run and live with. A small detail that makes such a difference

It’s amazing what that guy can build ,he saws engines in half with a hacksaw .

His Mountain Bikes are a work of art as well.

No drama. He just designs a bike in his head. Amazing craftsmanship.

Just felt I had to comment about the Puch Maxi...... my dad gave me his old 1969 Puch Maxi when I was about 12 in the early 80s. I used to ride it up and down the garden and along farm tracks at a friend's house (dad used to take it there on a trailer for me). That Puch Maxi is probably the reason I've loved motorbikes all throughout my life!

I was fortunate to meet Allen at Goodwood, where he gave up a lot of his time to speak to us about his flying Millyard. Allen is a truly lovely person, he is very understated in an overstated world.

Man of magical hands and born a Genius. I could sit and watch him work all day. He should get a award for his talents

The Man, The Legend, The Millyard!

Really like how simple and humble he is.

He uses cardboard and Swiss Army knife scissors ✂️ to make templates, they turn out just perfect 😂

Pure genius and mild mannered too. Not a show-off.

Blokes and the stuff they build in there sheds Amazing 🤩👍👍👍

It`s been fantastic involving Allen Millyard, i properly enjoy watching The Motorbike show on ITV4

There really is no one like him. Lovely man

Allen is a legend... a genius.

An Engineering Genius..as has been said many many times before .

What a brilliant bloke!

Even the mountain bike he built was incredible engineering

Love the Motorbike Show with these two. I’d like to see a Guy meets Allen programme.

Amazing human, would love to spend a day with him tinkering and talking.

Unbelievable ingenieus man and such a nice person.

He is so humble with it the man a genus nice posting :-)

an unbelievablely talented man. absolute genious...
