    Look up when lucky Kaiser got on tv back in the 80s and he takes it down archerfield runway and nearly loses it ! I used to be Lucky's neighbor and would drink tallies together most days marvelling at his stories and mad creations !!

      The Flying Millyard is an amazing bit of work to be sure but i don't think that takes away from this bike. this one is cool in a different way for me because it's a watercooled supercharged aircraft engine making 500 hp. I even think the separate starter is gives it character. Besides, it was probably the only reasonable (reasonable for a show bike) way to handle the starting situation. Of the two, i prefer the FM but it's not a contest, they can both be cool.
