In this video i explain a few features of my 1974 Honda SS100 V Twins and also my 1975 Honda SS180 V Twin. I have made three SS100 V Twins and one SS180. The first SS100 is on display in Barber Motorsport Museum in Alabama USA. I go into a bit of detail showing internal parts during a rebuild sequence, and all four bikes can be herd running. I hope you enjoy the video.

I'm a professional machinist and bike mechanic. I have lost count of the number of custom builds I have done to all styles and makes of bikes. ..........Then to watch Allen........ I feel like a first year incompetent apprentice. The mans an absolute bloody genius.

"The crankcase modifications were quite straightforward" if your name's Allen Millyard. Loving these vids

I love his voice, it's like watching CBeebies for bike nuts. He always sounds so happy and enthusiastic.

I say the same thing to myself after watching each and every one of Allen's videos: "This guy is an absolute mechanical genius."

Mr Honda would probably be fascinated and amused by your work.

These videos are very therapeutic when you are a mechanical engineer. You just know that no washers are forgotten or left out.

What a perfectionist !!! Great work and imagination. If only this country had more people like Allen. We would be 'GREAT' again. He deserves an honour of some kind - definitely needs to be recognized.

I saw an old video with SS100-1 years ago and was thrilled to see it in person at the Barber Motorsports Museum last year. Thanks for giving us a peek inside the engine. It appears to be very straightforward using many stock pieces. Your engines are works of art.

Love the overall sound, and especially the idle lope, on the 180.

If Mr. Honda were still with us, this is the bike that inspired multitudes with its simplicity coupled with genius......

The SS180 is one mean sounding bike! I really like your creativity and craftsmanship. You make it look so easy.

That SS180 exhaust note is gorgeous.

A shed and old few tools this how all English motorcycles started. Allen how you make these bikes with just a picture in your head amazes me.

The SS 180 sounds really good as well as being a fabulous build by the one-off genius, Allen Millyard.
