I just wish there was more biker videos.

Lee Johnston
Taylor Mackenzie
Yammie Noob

As for Podcasts also available on YouTube I cannot recommend ‘ Chasin the Racin’ with Dominic Herbertson and Chrissy Rouse highly enough.

Give Billy Bolt, Tommy Searle, Sylvain Guintoli, Moto Geo a look too.
.and remove Yammie Noob from your playlist

Thornton Hundred, 44T and the Missenden Flyer for me.

Check out Highside/Lowside also - its a podcast and youtube video series released from the crew at Revzilla who are a large US based online motorcycle gear retailer.

Its US based so there is more cruiser talk than usual but all in all its pretty varied.

Also very good are the later wrecked bike rebuild series from Chase on Two Wheels.

Its really interesting if you want to learn how an engine hangs together - they basically have to tear an engine apart to diagnose an issue on a bike they are rebuilding to give away....

One guy is a former Ducati master technician who does the work and explains it to a relatively inexperienced mechanic

Usually a couple of good tips in each video!

(Maybe slightly NSFW).

Meg's Motorcycle Journey often has similar tips (only younger and more attractive) particularly episode 3 If it wasn't for the fact that she's an attorney, I suspect there'd be links to an OnlyFans channel!

Damn, I watched that. Her boobs are like a human crash bobbin.

A less annoying voice and I'd be a subscriber...

I’ll save you the trouble of watching to find out. No.

I’ve watched a few and don’t get the appeal, at all.

They're very well produced, but I can only manage one or two every now and then.

I'm currently watching a lot of Doghouse customs (the doghouse) and Itchy Boots

Thomas C
Ruben C

Brothers who has have turned their Airheads into retro-Scramblers. Thomas's second one, in particular.

I like Itchy Boots but she's a bit clean cut for me.

That Tommy Searle / Billy Bolt fun is worth a watch , with some quality content , largely thanks to The Ed

[Wacky Racer]

Fillingham's OK, but he likes the sound of his own voice too much, and takes 20 minutes to say what could be said in ten.

He has a dedicated bunch of followers to be fair.

I find his accent really grating, especially the amount you have to listen to it! Hitler, Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot, Charles Manson and many others also had a dedicated bunch of followers...

Forgot to add, Paul Brodie if you like watching people make things...not just motorbike content but interesting and entertaining none the less.
And Lee Johnston, who has probably already been mentioned, is rebuilding a few bike with Whit which, whilst not being particularly ‘technical’, should be entertaining enough...

Couple of things came to mind recently.

1. I love watching nerdy engineering stuff, as I don't have any of that knowledge at all. So the bike build posts on here (oh I needed to make a tool to remove this flangegrommit) and stuff like Allen Millyard's channel. My god that man is a frickin' mechanical genius. I love watching his stuff, but boy is content delivery hard to watch for anyone who isn't really interested. "I was well chuffed" Even I cringe a bit sometimes. And the last few seconds before he turns the camera off are a bit 'starey'

2. Secondly, what is your preferred video length? I don't mind content in the 5-20 minute range, but once it gets to 30+ mins I just find it takes too much of my time. And you very quickly realise that most of the video is filler that could have been edited out. That's why a lot of 2 min videos end up being just over 10, due to the youtube monetisation algos.

I wish there was better TV content that addressed the above. I don't mind Henry Cole and Allen, but I find when the camera is focused on them they both tend to change their voices, which just makes it hard to watch. In the scenes where they aren't focused on presenting, they talk normally. The front man / skilled man thing still works IMHO, as long as it's not too mismatched like Bike World's desmo rebuild. Holy, what a st show. All the host could do was make cups of tea FFS.

Classic Octane might work for you, although he's a yank, so comes with annoying accent and lexicon. I like the resto stuff on Really Random Channel. Another distinctive accent. He does his own plating, which is interesting to see.

I also like Itchy Boots, because I love the fact that she is doing what she's doing. Going where she goes, solo, without any support is simply outstanding. And I find her videos are a really easy watch, which is what I need at the moment.

I'd only watched a couple of her videos previously, but I have been following her recent South Africa vlog.

She comes across really well and like the poster above, I find her videos really easy to watch.

You have to give anyone props who just heads out solo like that, especially a woman.

[SteRB5138]

My subscribed channels are:

44 Teeth (great content, I have been fan from the start, need to get more Mossy and James Holland content, very funny)

LambChopRides (Interesting build, gets new bikes to test)

Bike World (John Hogan & Chris Northover do the best real word reviews in my opinion)

TeaPotTone (although he doesnt seem to release as much content nowadays apart from podcasts interviews)

Allan Millyard (Always amazed what can be built at home with a lathe!)

Very watchable, a real adventure.

Also I’m curious do any of you have a view on YammieNoob (not so much his plugging of sponsors manscaping products) but I find it makes nice relaxing viewing whilst working.

He does some interesting and funny stuff, which is what we probably want, right? Sometimes I do disagree with what he says though - though that is probably fair, since we are supposed to get a balanced view on things and not just dig in on our own biases...

Sometimes he's a little off message though. But otherwise its good entertainment to while away 20 mins between Zoom meetings!
