I think the Millyard element will add a lot over a 'usual' build. The yanks love him almost as much as we do. Its the old cliche of just needing two people with funds to really want it.We’ll see but it sounds a tad high to me.

There's another episode out in which he continues to demonstrate that he's an absolute clown.
What I don't get is that he's also a private pilot so is presumably capable of being systematic and is capable of understanding mechanical stuff to a reasonable level. But somehow he seems totally ignorant when he goes anywhere near this bike.

I mean it’s a 50 year old 2 stroke.What I don't get is that he's also a private pilot so is presumably capable of being systematic and is capable of understanding mechanical stuff to a reasonable level. But somehow he seems totally ignorant when he goes anywhere near this bike.
You can fix it with a couple of spanners and a screwdriver.

Don't ever watch https://www.youtube.com/@pilot-debrief being qualified to fly a plane doesn't even qualify you to open a can of beans.

Maybe he is trying to get out more YouTube videos and get people on forums discussing his material.

It works! Even a little thought makes the whole thing seem very far fetched so far.
This edition, takes it to shop and they say they cant do it. Do what? Change loom for no reason?
Its not charging. Surely they could have checked that in a jiffy for free.
Sad sad pleading and he finally gets someone else to do free work. Back on the carbs for some reason.
I turned off at this point.
I would post on his channel but its full of sycophants ,and people that must travel by donkey everywhere and so marvel at his magnificence lol.
Dont really want to annoy the cult followers .

I have a few friends that fly, it's a serious business, no time to be joking around or not understanding pre flight checks et al. A quick flight over Toronto

I find it difficult to believe someone can be so mechanically inept given his affinity to bikes. Perhaps its a ruse, designed to generate discussion and views. The Millyard connection feels awfully contrived, like they're getting together to cross pollinate their viewership. Never really a fan of the Internet bike crowd but this just feels desperate...srob said:

Absolutely agreed. Pure theatre to eek as much out of it as possible.
