Thank you for posting that Cobra
I did think the other day about making a post on what interesting models members have :cool:
 
I remember the Z 1300 from back in the day, but I had to google the man. Clever is an understatement.
 
Thanks mate. I've seen that one, (and most of his vids tbh) but they're always worth another look. I'm amazed at how he just sees how it will be in his mind, and then builds it.

I think thats how a lot of things get built, I followed a very similar path growing up messing with clocks, radios and everything mechanical starting from about the age of 5 years old. When I was a kid I was always making stuff and like Allen I would build it all in my mind first, not much made it onto paper. Thru my adult life I still design and build stuff, mostly related to electronics but with the full mechanical, electrical and aesthetic look.

I think this stuff is in our DNA, I have a long list of ancestors who were engineers going back hundreds of years.

I agree, and I do the same, I just think that it's incredible with the size of projects he does without putting anything down on paper. You (we) might think we can cut 2 engines in half using a hacksaw and then join them together to make one, but in reality I think most of us would just end up with an ever growing pile of scrap ally.....
 
The V8 Kawasaki is Millyard at it again. He built a V12 Z1300 as well. Personally, seeing as he builds them all from scratch so quickly, I think he's keeping the most important thing he has built a big secret.

I could use that to go fast forward to when all this carp is over.

How do you make a V8 Kwacker in a single garage with not a lot more than a few bits and bobs for tools?
Surely there must be a whole new crank case cast for something like that ?

It don't half make you feel like you missed the queue when brains and ability were handed out.
