Millyard RC374 Honda six replica - episode 5 How I made the exhausts and a few other parts.

In this video I I give a walk around tour of the finished bike and talk about how I made the exhausts and a few other parts. Tracey is busy in the kitchen and the birds and hedgehog makes an appearance. Hope you enjoy it, I have a lot of fun making my videos.

[@chrischappell9824]

"I made the bike by following a model makers guide book". I am sorry Allen I believe that the rest of us mere mortals have now closed our garages and are hanging out heads in shame. What an amazing thing to behold.....and I am not talking about Tracey and her scones. Lovely Allen, absolutely lovely.

[@steveparkes1]

This channel should be compulsory viewing for all, to promote the values and inventiveness of our great Country! Thank you Allen.

Allen expresses the same amazement at his wife’s cooking skills as everyone here feels about his amazing fabricating skills.

[@robwilkie1]

I want to visit when Tracey is making scones and cup cakes 😊

[@dennisyoung4631]

Cooking is the second-hardest thing I can think of. Only cleaning is harder. At least I can follow what he’s doing. I’ve done some it. Forming the steel sheet with hammer and mandrel is something I recall doing 40 years ago. Still have the mandrel I made 30+ years ago.

[@Jones-xx2gc]

When you think of the rubbish they class as modern art these days, something like this deserves to be in the Tate Gallery or my living room. To think you had guidance from a model makers catalogue to help make this, wow. Now where's my Airfix Lancaster Bomber instructions.

Always sad when one of Allen's videos has to end, but happy my life has been made better by watching them! Looking forward to the fairing, tank and seat vid!
