If I win the lottery, I'll buy a few of his bikes, starting with the 6cyl Honda. He says he occsionally flogs them.
Depends how far he went with checking if it was points and plugs that's long, if it was over and above a normal service on an old bike not so much.
Without being asked he even took the cylinder heads off and checked the bores, the good news being the honing marks were still visible from it’s last restoration, I think it comes down to communication, my mate asked him to service it but didn’t set any parameters, with Allen that appears to be a dangerous statement
Least your mate had a thorough check over on his bike, but yes parameters should be set before work is carried out. Maybe Allen has had the old 'it seized up after you serviced it' statement handed to him after some unrelated issue made itself apparent for a previous punter.
Ages ago, pay attention. How come he can saw 2 engines apart and them weld them together in a couple of days and it's taking you 17 years to make a petrol tank?
I just checked out of interest when I started my tank fabrication, it was Aug 8th 2019 - under 10 months, get in!!!
Exactly, Allen says at the start of his video, he's just going to put some petrol in it. You try that Hexie.
