He seems to be able to adapt and work around any problems he encounters. :y

Allen Millyard has created many motorcycle creations over the years, including a Dodge Viper V10 Motorcycle. He generally seems to build something just because he can. He comes across as a bit eccentric, although you can’t knock his engineering skills.  :y

An old work mate of mine, who was a pretty good engineer, tried asking Milyard once how he goes about doing what he does - ie producing a 2600 V12 from two Kawasaki 1300 straight 6 engines.
 His reply - I just do it all with a hacksaw. Yeah, of course you do.  ::)

Carbs are too large.

Simply hacksaw a couple of inches off. :D

During the war when the slogan was 'Make do and mend' Millyard would have fitted right in. :y
