  3. I never got beyond the fact it was a V12, cc wasn't even in my thoughts.

  4. The badge is 2300cc, he doesn't say what the engine is. :thinkingface:

  6. .....why do you assume it's 2600cc? or 2536cc in anorak money.

    I know you are going to say it's double the capacity of the original bike. It could well be, I have no idea because he doesn't say what the cc is. :thinkingface:

  7. He usually doubles up on cc using standard parts for the alchemy, I guess he must have changed the stroke for some reason - no Vid on the build? :thinkingface:

  9. He has reasons for everything :eyes:

  10. At one time Mr Millyard explained that he had to shorten the stroke slightly so that he had enough room to fit the master-and-slave conrods in the crankcase. Hence 2.3 litres instead of the 2.6 one might expect.

  17. If it weren't for "persons in Sheds" (politically correct) we probably wouldn't have the internal combustion engine, the jet engine or bagless vacuum cleaners :joy:

  20. Met him a few times, nice guy, painfully shy in my estimation, takes him a while to relax, very intelligent, he serviced & “checked over” my mates H2 for him, my mate has got a few million but described the invoice as “eye watering”, iirc he billed him for 33 hours work!
