Kawasaki S1 550 four cylinder Frame repairs - Episode 8

[@haroldland4620]

No flashing lights, no God awful 'music', no shouting, actual sound of tools cutting, calm low key narration, even cupcakes...a pleasure to watch

[@AlSnoopsReid]

Exactly!! I mean, who'd have thought that watching someone cleaning up a rusty motorbike frame while his wife bakes cupcakes could bring so much calm and contentment to so many people. Just wonderful!

[@keyboarddancers7751]

I am always entertained, informed and amazed by your work, Sir.

[@boriss.861]

Engineering Genius at work in both Workshops Kitchen and Garage! Welcome to Tracey's Thursday Teatime Treats Perfect!

[@SimonPass230267]

Perfect. Glass of wine, Thursday night and Allen's latest video. All topped off with the sound of a screaming 2 stroke. My wine also had hints of Castrol 'R'.

[@howder1951]

I had to watch this video again because I like Allen's videos, also it is so nice when he takes a moment to watch the birds comment on the wildlife and picture the flora. It adds an organic feel to his work process and it wouldn't be Allen if there were no cupcakes to be had! Enjoyed vey much, cheers!

[@richardarnold3812]

Engineering and cakes. Cakes and engineering. Two talented people. Another great video.

[@januarioqueiroz3122]

Richard, I noticed that too...my mouth is watering over those cakes!

[@billwaller4094]

Great work Allen your second to none when it comes to bikes! Enjoy all your projects.

[@saltyreesescup3104]

only allen can fire a ghost engine up on a tailgate no tank no frame no nothing...fine work as usual Sir.

[@N4HHE]

I once started a 2HP B&S horizontal shaft engine sitting loose on the carport. It shook, tried to walk off, frightened the very young me. Would never have though to try to start a 4 cylinder 2-stroke that was sitting loose at a pickup truck tailgate!

[@matthewwalter4716]

Watching Alan's videos feels like watching a bed time story,but for grown ups-its only 730 in the morning and I feel relaxed and ready for bed already🙂

[@robertjohnson7728]

Just like an artist on canvas building up his layer's to reveal his final masterpiece. With some tasty cup cakes along the way.

[@garystein9536]

Healthy hedgehogs! Good to see Allen. Spring is in the air, so is the cup cakes!

[@doctordapp]

Love to see you busy again. Like to see someone with a good mechanical mindset explaining his addiction. Glad to have the same addiction, but still have to learn a lot, luckily you're on KZbin!

[@popepaul4438]

Makes me wonder has Tracy ever found you cleaning any of your engine casings in the dishwasher like my wife has LOL Nice treat when I saw this video up keep up the good work Al And hopefully see you at the next show

[@tonymercer265]

Has Allen ever caught Tracy washing dishes in his partswasher more like?

[@CONEHEADDK]

@@tonymercer265 This must be the place for "How do you convert your dish washer into a snow remover"?

[@rdaystrom4540]

Nice job on the brake pivot bar and cleaning up the old welds. "Taking the frame into the kitchen is not a good idea". That's an understatement. "Good job" to Tracy for her great cupcakes.

[@jeffzekas]

Here in Oregon, our daffodils just started coming up a little while ago, a bit behind you in our spring blooms.

[@adamdiaz8442]

Hi Allen my dad and i have been big fans for a long time know we love your attitude to just get on with it and have a go we are currently trying our luck at a v8 hyabusa keep up the good work mate

[@vinnythompson4343]

Keep up the great work allen could watch you all day 👍

[@officialmysteriousrider130]

Brilliant job Allen 👍

[@ciolacrudy5997]

I am very happy that by chance I found these videos that are for me a real lesson in the field of Mechanics

[@cazrealist1]

How nice a perfect distraction from the insanity going on in the outside world if only it was an hr long or two , thank God the summer is on the way and we can all escape on our bikes 😉

I’ll try and make a longer one soon

[@BMW7series251]

Hi Lewis, doing my family history. Does your family hale from Cambridgeshire? Thanks.

[@MartinMcMartin]

Nature documentary, cooking show, and a genius showing how his mad cap ideas materialize , a great variety show.

[@Roger.Coleman1949]

A lovely cheering but gentle video Allen , once you were extolling the delights of early Spring , I sort of guessed Tracey would also be busy in the kitchen demonstrating her own immense talents - what a winning combination !.

[@billbridge7458]

I said it before, and I'll repeat: That 550 engine is CRISP!

[@UmmmmmmmWhat]

I hope you never run out of random parts in your sheds and garden to keep the content coming for years to come. I love seeing your projects, i just wish i had half your talent, and motivation.

[@thewatcher5271]

You Took Something That Would've Just Been Scrap In Most Salvage Yards & Restored It Like New! Makes Me Think Of All The Broken Bikes That Are Out There. Thank You.

[@thakery5720]

Your not taking the frame into the kitchen reminded me of when my dear old Mum saw me changing a rear tyre on my Triumph. It was raining and she cleared the kitchen table and put it on it's side, to make room so that I could take the wheel in her kitchen to do it..... gotta love your Mum !

[@menom7]

"It'll cool down quicker in the garage,well.......that's MY excuse anyway! " Lol. GOOD SHOW Allen!!! I'd have to agree with You on that one!!! Excellent job in rewelding those points and making those engine-spacers!!! Can't wait to see how shiny-black that frame's going to look when it comes back!!! Job well done Sir!!! : )

[@dwightbrown2808]

Allen's voice, cherry cup cakes, birds, tiny oil bottle, hacksaw, motorcycle welding, and hedge hogs. I feel much better now.

[@sammorgan2390]

Excellent job Allen. You're so lucky to have Tracy baking such delicious treats

[@peterlovett5841]

I really hope that some of the technical colleges in the UK use your videos as teaching tools. You describe things so easily and do them effortlessly so the videos should inspire those seeking to emulate your works. Personally, I am a technological mong but I learn so much by just watching these videos. Thank you.

[@Morelia300]

So glad you dropped in the clip at the end. That sound really is mesmerizing!

[@bertayoing]

excellent work allen,and great cakes too.

[@100CupsColombia]

Oooo when I were young a loved an original slag!

[@martinslennon]

I am 52 and working on bikes since I was 12, I feel like I learn something from each of your videos. I am currently renovating a 1990 rm 250 frame. At the rear where the seat and rear fender mounts there's a brace that strengthens the two rear frame rails and is a support for the rear of the seat. It needs to be refabricated and strengthened, I have a 1989 that was also damaged. With your repair process is done better than my previous, so I will take some ideas. I also have to repair a rm85 rear brake pedal for my son and it's like the KH brake pivot, but instead of being welded to the frame, on the Suzuki it's welded to the pedal. I was going to replace the whole pedal, but now you have inspired me to make the pivot and weld it on using a magnet, I didn't think of that before! Keep 'em coming 🤩

[@daddy5225]

I don't think Aladdins cave can hold a candle to Allen's cave! Another brilliant video sir 👌

[@KyushaStyleTuning]

Excellent video! Such skilled work. it was really nice meeting you at Ducklington. 👍

[@ciolacrudy5997]

Good evening, I watched all 8 episodes of Kawasaki S1 550 four-cylinder motorcycle video frames. Repairs. Sir, you're a very good mechanic. I'm a car mechanic too, but here in these videos I had to learn.

[@AllenMillyard]

Great I’m glad you enjoyed them

[@waynecothill3759]

Allan, if I had 1/100th of your ability I would be happy. Your ingenuity and humble nature should inspire a whole new generation of engineers. Let’s hope. 🤞

[@firsteerr]

i imagine there is only one thing more satisfying for Allen then a nice bit of swarf is , obviously ,Tracie's cherry cup cakes

[@mrsilbo6499]

Wouldn't be a proper Millyard production without some cupcake & hacksaw action. Just perfect!

[@jamesblack5370]

You seem to like the lighter weight and more power themes. I remember the first Kow Psaki MkIII 500 I saw. Green. That light green they used. Quick!!

[@dustymiller7758]

Great entertainment as always, looking forward to this being completed. Thanks for sharing.

[@joesgaragedoorservice7506]

So I have got to say , I am speechless at the work you perform , you are an artisan!

[@panosgamithis8868]

[@jamiemorris3995]

Another fantastic video allen hope your all keeping safe and well👍👍

[@tiffinthyme5822]

Hello Alan, well that frame has seem better days, but I expect it will come out fine. Your dear wife’s cooking is the best, you lucky devil! Cheers Kevin.

[@jimurrata6785]

Looks like 46mm to me??? Allen, you do an amazing job! Not only making custom motorcycles but making them look like factory. 👏

[@iankidd1257]

Definitely 49mm sir, I think you are misreading the gauge by looking at the end (which is lined up to 46mm) instead of the correct zero datum point which is at 49mm

[@jimurrata6785]

@@iankidd1257 You are probably right. I only got a quick glance, and should have gone back to look at it .25 speed...

🤣🤣🤣 think Allen knows how to read a vernier - are you new to this channel?

[@gwstubbs7046]

You bet I enjoyed the video. Now that the warmer weather is just around the corner we can all get out in the back yard and begin building. Take care Allen.

This is better than anything on tv in the states.

I give myself a slap on the back when I replace a bicycle chain. I live in awe of your expertise.

[@rd6864]

I agree, it is lovely to be outside in the spring with the flowers starting to bloom, a gentle breeze rustling the leaves in the trees, the birds singing sweetly.....and then it gets spoilt when someone starts up an angle grinder.

[@paulhall170]

"It'll cool down quicker in the garage" LOL Allen there's something strangely soothing watching you work (and, of course, watching Tracy making cupcakes!)

[@KCadbyRacing]

Seeing your four cylinder in that frame sent me back to my 72 H2 memories ❤ Then I imagined what it would be like to have a four cylinder 1000🏁 Next after that I remembered how scary my ported 750 (with Denco head work and stinger chambers) was at 120+mph on the tiny tires we had back then😜 Nice work Allen and beautiful Spring flowers at 4:23

I love all your bikes but these kawasaki 2strokes are just the best. We went to the Martin jennings memorial ride in Cornwall and a chap had the 750 3 cylinder and I had to ask him to start it up so I could have a listen. Such wonderful machines. Wish I could afford one!
