Teapot 1 gets right on my nerves, everytime he comes up to a NSL he sings " Nationals" and accelerates to the limit as if he's thankful and content for being allowed to.
Can't he just ride normally.
I don't really like his stuff but the reason he doesn't "ride normally" is because bellends report him if he goes over the speed limit and it has caused him trouble in the past.Can't he just ride normally.
Most of the other popular youtubers also ride within the limit when on camera and will refer to having the camera off to "properly test" a bike.

Doesn't he blurr his speedo for a significant amount of time though? Most of the other popular youtubers also ride within the limit when on camera and will refer to having the camera off to "properly test" a bike.

For me:
TMF- Annoying and sexist, which might be mildly humorous if he had the skills that some of the women riders have, but he doesn't. Having a splash screen saying it's OK because you're a boomer doesn't stop you being a c*nt
No doubt I do find him a little bit annoying sometimes, can't quite put my finger on what it is, but got to say I don't ever remember him saying anything sexist, or remotely offensive. But then I'm also not one of the "offended generation" TMF- Annoying and sexist, which might be mildly humorous if he had the skills that some of the women riders have, but he doesn't. Having a splash screen saying it's OK because you're a boomer doesn't stop you being a c*nt

Been watching a lot of Saffy Sprockets stuff in prep for my first Euro Trip.
Sad to see her break her ribs when she was so close to the end goal!
Some of her stuff did verge on "Zen and the art" but have started to enjoy it again.
I admire her for having a go, I can't work out if she's really brave or totally oblivious to the risks.Sad to see her break her ribs when she was so close to the end goal!

But also find her quite hard to watch because she is so clueless.

I like itchyboots but.....
Sorry a 30min vid on YouTube could cut 20 mins of just riding along a dirt road in one perspective view.
The vids are too samey for me.
There'd an Oz bloke who rides in the Australian back country - Pearson or something he's called. I like his vids. He's very self depreciating but someone tagged along, got their socks caught in a chain guide, dropped their phone and them their entire backpack. He literally lost it
he's normally a reserved vid type of guy.

So yes, it's not like rampant on his channel or anything, but I don't like sexism or racism, whatever.
Baron Von Grumble (Chris from 44T) has been doing some solo trips lately on his new GS across Europe, not sure why but his channel was "torque" but its reverted back to BVG.
His content is pretty good and he opens up about his battles with his mental health for the last few years.
I've also been following "Marc travels", a German guy who is currently touring the world on a an electric bike (zero). its interesting seeing how durable to E-bike is and tbh I'm quite impressed at how reliable it has been considering some of miles and conditions it has endured so far.

I get really fed up with all the "reviews" that pop up at the same time, about the same bike saying the exact same things.
Not one of them is objective IMO... all out just to say how amazing things are to ensure they get a spot at the next launch.
That Dirty Workshop guy has a serious chip on his shoulder about everyone it seems... and is dull as f**k..
Has anyone mentioned , or watch RRC restoration?
Really good quality of work..
And to a lesser extent, but still manages to get things done, an American guy called Ronald Fingers..I quite like his honesty and humor.
RRC and Ronnie are two of my favourites. Not one of them is objective IMO... all out just to say how amazing things are to ensure they get a spot at the next launch.

From the other side of the pond I'm watching brick house builds and the bearded mechanic.
Both fall into the "will this heap of s
t run/watch me fix it" category.
Big fan of The Bearded Mechanic. Much better when "Creg" managed to do his own thing rather than play 2nd fiddle to Sean. I like Sean and the silly stuff he did/does but I'm much more into the repairs and Craig's personality.Both fall into the "will this heap of s
t run/watch me fix it" category.Moto Stars and Mot Clips UK (for when I need a bit of reassurance that I'm not an awful rider)
Username Kate
Itchy Boots
Moto Control
The Bearded Mechanic
Bikes & Beards
RRC Restorations
Tonnes more I can't remember
There is loads to choose from tbf
I really struggle with bike youtubers (even though technically I guess I am one)
So much of their stuff I find unenjoyable.
I rarely enjoy the 44teeth stuff (pretty much the budget bike battle stuff is all I can watch)
Don't enjoy itchy boots content despite us now doing a similar journey through Africa
Loads of UK vlogs are just naff
I used to enjoy some of Jennies Garage (North American chap, was very home grown) now seems to have fallen by the way side
Bike World & Peak motorcycles are two I watch semi-regulalry though
Tom's workshop has some good stuff and Ducaveli had some high quality content but doesn't upload very often.
I'd be curious to see what folk though of my channel in comparison to others listed in the thread. Some of my older content is sub-par whilst I "learnt the ropes" and ironed out some teething issues but I think there's some good stuff in there besides
