Kawasaki Z1 Super six clutch and a weekend at Goodwood revival

I have to agree with your loyal viewers, your channel is an absolute jewel, a real pleasure. I really do miss my motorcycling days, 30 or so years, many of them with bikes as my only transport. Camping gear, a decent bike and the open road, especially back in the days when Brit tourists still waved at each other on much emptier roads. Anyone remember the dear old Triumph Tiger 650, the original with one super-easy to tune carb? Or the wonderful ferry from Algeciras to North Africa and that gorgeous road south through what was then the Spanish Sahara? Happy Days ...

"The only man in the world that can cut a straight line with a hacksaw." No truer words ever spoken. By the way, what's the redline on the Flying Millyard? 250 RPM??

[@AllenMillyard]

Around 2200 rpm

[@Red-kite617]

I will second that.

[@MrPotatochips4]

@@Prashantlunawat How? By the beauty of it, and even more by expanding the concept of what beauty is, and more, by expanding the mind beyond what was once thought possible. Further, it takes droll humour further into the realm material existence, thus sitting philosophy back in the saddle where Robert Persig rightly put it with his book, "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance"

Allen , great video as per usual. I remember learning the hard way in the early 70's that North America,n issue Phillips screwdrivers should NOT be used on J.I.S. screws used on Japanese motorcycles. Glad you mentioned JIS and the heads of those screws look as pristine as pristine could be !

[@jamespicking1140]

Allen, you remind me of my dad so much. My dad was an aviation engineer and project planner and I lost him in march 2020 age 81, I have inherited the workshop and have an overhead milling machine, Oxford student lathe, boxford shaping machine, hydraulic hacksaw and I just want to do my dad proud and learn how to use this machinery properly. I know you're familiar with Steve parish and Im guessing you know Tony malthouse who taught me a lot as he lives locally to me also. It's a shame he has retired now. I want to learn the old skills to keep them alive into the future, maybe o can teach this to the next generation also.

[@mrsmith4662]

I love this show. You just couldn't get a more contrasting mix (of things we're interested in) of motorcycle engineering, love of bikes, love of cup cakes and wildlife in our gardens. A unique combination. Great stuff.

[@graydonstuckey8190]

HI Allen, I made your wife's cupcake recipe a couple weeks ago. They didn't turn out but I tried it again today with a couple slight modifications and they turned out great! My son said these are the best dessert he's had in weeks! Thank you for actually posting a shot of the recipe.

[@arjunab6167]

The only guy who cuts a straight line with a hacksaw, that's what amazed the most among your skills. 😊👍

[@dilwyn1]

Great vid Allen. So glad you emphasized the use of a "JIS" screw driver. I have spent too many hours removing mashed up screws after they have been attacked by a Phillips, or Pozi drive head!!

[@handycrowd]

It's amazing how few folks know about the JIS screwdrivers and how difficult they are to find (out of Japan), especially when you think how many Japanese vehicles there are around... :-)

Another astonishing day in the life of Allen, I suppose his mouth was watering as much as mine when the second rasher of cherries went into the cupcakes. Enjoyed, cheers and good health to you and your family Allen!
