@@SGTDuckButter Wait for the next video, perhaps Allen will be kind enough to fill us in. I'd guess it's some sort of method by which unburned fuel is allowed to find its way into the exhaust and is ignited there by the heat of the pipe, or perhaps a deliberate mis-timing, or both. Terrifically mischievous device at any rate. It puts me in mind of the "bang-bang" anti-lag systems used by some rally cars to keep their turbos spinning - I have a clever mate who researched how it was done and built a home made version of the same thing on his turbo Lancer some years back. He did it for fun more than anything, although he claimed it did actually work at reducing turbo lag as well. The crackling and popping and banging sounded wicked. One unexpected and unfortunate result was that it quickly destroyed the exhaust system! The dump pipe and pre cat length of pipe did not handle continual fuel detonations for very long, and nor did the cat. It was ridiculous fun, although his neighbours must surely not have agreed. We certainly heard him coming, that's for sure. Hopefully Allen has engineered a way around the exhaust system destruction. Like you I'd be very interested to know how exactly he's done it, especially given it has no turbo.

Allen there's too many things about the Viper V10 bike to mention, the ratchet stand, the forks, brakes and soforth, suffice to say it is a masterpiece of thought and engineering you can be very proud of, I would imagine it's capable of scaring even the most experienced of motorcycle testers with its brute force and weight.

Not only is he unbelievably creative but he’s able to manufacture the things he designs. The stark difference is he seems thoroughly likable as well as humble. That’s a rare combination. I worked with a machinist who was blessed with these qualities, both an absolute genius and a kind and gracious man. There are far too few in the world. When he passed away the world lost a treasure.

Sometimes when I watch these, I almost feel like I'm being put on, some of this stuff is engineering that a major automotive corporation would struggle with and Allen just thought it up out of his head and made it work mostly making the parts himself. This bike is amazing. But all his stuff is amazing. And it all looks so finished.

Alan Millyard is an absolute genius , why 1 of the big bike companies never snapped him up decades ago I just don’t know. Also a nicer guy you could never meet . Living legend .

There isn't a soul alive who could have convinced me this is the guy who built the motorcycle with the DODGE V10 ENGINE. What a juxtaposition. And what a fascinating build! Thanks for making this video Allen.

I saw some of your creations on KZbin and was amazed! Then I saw a lot of them at Barber Museum! OMG the craftsmanship and ingenuity is mind blowing! I can stop showing people your work! Pure genius! Thanks for thinking outside the box!

Allen, it would be extremely interesting to see it on a rolling road, measure the torque/bhp etc? Maybe drag it against a standard Viper car? Just love it all, whatever!
