Spending the weekend doing maintenance and found myself watching bits of the Dirty Garage Guys stream. Seems he's having a go at JHS Racing now on the 44teeth channel.....

I think he dared to "have a go" at Alan Milliard once, saying something about it being fairly easy to stitch two air cooled engines together, yeah lets see you try it, in fact I don't think I've seen him do any quality work at all.
Only used to watch sometimes because I'm not a massive Delboy fan either, another Youtuber with more subscriber's than actual skills, but when he used to show routine jobs on his bike it always looked a right rusty heap.

I’ve slimmed down my viewing a bit recently, Chris at Bike World is a must watch, Itchyboots because my wife loves her vids too, although I t’s more about her interactions with the locals than the bike content, and I dip into 44 teeth, Neevesy and a couple of others if the content looks interesting.
The are some I can’t tolerate, generally those who seem to have very limited knowledge or riding ability like Missenden Flyer etc

Agree on all that, Chris is great

I watch IBoots because I keep thinking about doing an around the world ride but the more I watch, the more I think the guys who fly in and do short trips have the right idea (but I want to ride my bike)

It really does look like a chore trying to sort all the visas and thousands of miles on very similar mud roads

That's why I find TMF hilarious. Every time he reviews a biggish bike, he says, "It's not for girls this!" And then demonstrates his amazing off-road skills on the Salisbury Plain, which has to be one of the most boring motorcycle videos on the internet.

Yep, it was that video that made me realise he didn’t have a clue what he was doing, the tank tracks on salisbury plain are like roads and he wasn’t very confident on those, I offered to show him some “interesting tracks” but he didn’t respond

I haven't seen or heard anything from Matt Durrans, of The Bike Show, for a while now.
One of my favourite presenters; I can only hope he's on the mend.

He was on screen a week a go... so fingers crossed.

Just caught up on this. Great work but I'm sure he could shorten the videos a bit by taking out all the wandering around and torque setting!

not me, I would be a tad harsher!

I'm amazed it's still there, he's a sensitive chap.

Getting a bit gnarly, really?

I think maybe he has not ever actually be on any off road trials, not even in his Rangey!

I've not watched any videos by the YouTuber who had a pop at Allen Millyard's abilities and skills. I saw one of Millyard's multi cylinder KH Kawasaki 2 strokes in the mid-90s parked up in Thatcham one weekday lunchtime.

I've seen the videos of the hedgehogs in Millyard's garden though.

BvG's video about coming off of the drugs and pondering if a trip to Africa was a good enough reason to buy a bargain motorcycle and moving on was interesting.

I've been down worse than that on a CBF1000 with luggage and the wife on the back

I had a look at the "Dirty Garage Guy" channel. He comes across as very bitter and seems to not get much done.

I watched 3 of his video's which are titled "Ginger Vs Ninja part 1, 2 and 3. Most of his comments are negative and what are not negative seem to be centred on jealousy, because in his opinion the young man in question is spending his Fathers money (Innocent).

The young mans channel is CJ Media and he on the other hand is the exact opposite of the dirty garage guy.

I have subscribed to CJ Media and clicked the "not interested" function on the Dirty Garage Guy channel.

Paul Henshaw is quite entertaining if a slightly grumpy chap from Wales working old Brit bikes is your thing. There in no messing around with over complex production values - very back to basic no nonsense stuff.

Some nice road trips on noisy old bikes in the Welsh countryside - I like it.

Another one is Wheelhouse Garage, more old Brit bike stuff this time from across the pond.

Agreed, thoroughly enjoyed it and its helped me with mine.

Watch most of the ones mentioned from time to time.
44 teeth, BikeWorld and Big Rock Moto probably the favourites.

I recently found BTG Moto which is an English bloke living near the Nurburgring whose reviews I found very informative and well presented.

In the comments someone mentioned that he used to work for Performance Bikes - Dale Lomas? Don't know if people here know the name, but his channel is good from what I've watched so far.

Yep, I know Dale Lomas from his time at PB, I also talked to him briefly at the Nürburgring.

I also had a video from him pop up on YouTube.
