Description:
An eccentric dad has revealed how he turned a Henry Hoover vacuum cleaner into a mini ride-on motorbike.<br/><br/>Systems engineer Allan Gallop, 35, worked with a team of enthusiasts to fit the broken appliance with a two-stroke 50cc engine, handlebars and new wheels.<br/><br/>And the retrofitted machine can now achieve a top speed of 28mph - with hilarious footage showing a rider taking it for a spin along a stretch of tarmac.<br/><br/>But the inventor joked that the converted appliance - dubbed 'Henry Hoofer' - still handles like a household cleaner around the corners. <br/><br/>Allan, a dad-of-three, said: “Almost all the parts are recycled junk, with the exception being the braking system and tyres.<br/><br/>\

Soulsby and he’s Harriet’s great great<br/>Grandfather. <br/>In the late 1800s and early 1900s, Soulsby, owned and ran a menswear shop in the industrial heartlands of Northumbria.<br/>“It was in the family for generations - everybody mucked in and was part of it.<br/>“My granny spent a lot of time there until she was married and she told me a lot of stories. <br/>“They specialised in quality menswear clothing and the idea was they were pieces that would last.”")
