Biker youtube channels
Discussion
Interesting topic in general gassing at the moment (motoring youtube channels). There are some bike channels being suggested but not exclusively...
Thought I'd start one here for actual channels rather than just clips etc.
My list
44 Teeth - Fagan and the Baron crack me up and do some pretty interesting stuff along the way
Fortnine - Sensible reviews of lots of kit but does talk a bit quick
Missenden Flyer - The 'head' as opposed to the heart of reviewing
I do like to check out MADtv and ARiemann1, purely because I quite fancy a KTM Adventure as my next bike.

I'm sure there's been a thread on these before but just to add a couple of other channels I subscribe to:
Lamb Chop Rides - He's got a couple of bikes and writes for performance bikes https://www.youtube.com/user/jbmugen
Two Wheel Review - Not much reviewing but a young lad with simple videos. He jacked in his job a few months ago and is riding to cape town I think at the moment, on his Honda CRF250L https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VQpBgHG2Bgc

I enjoyed the 44Teeth Budget Bike Battle and Budget Bike Italia.
I used to like BvG but I think perhaps Chris's HP4 Race has gone to his head a bit as his most recent vid seems a bit arrogant on the track at Jerez on his quest for a 1.49 lap, and him giving a voice commentary of Joanne's lap was a bit painful to watch.
I know this is a bit 'traditional' but I still like Michael Neeves' videos on MCN. He's a good presenter and knows his stuff.
The Fastbikes videos are quite good too. They don't seem to pander to any particular brand.
The rest I kind of flick in and out of..

ARiemann1 if you like offroad at all.
Really like his videos. I like...MOTOTREK are pretty good, I started watching a lot of this stuff when I'd decided to buy a ktm adventure even though my commute is the A34. You never know when this stuff might come in handy though... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R3VrRIOGWWY
CROSS TRAINING ENDURO SKILLS is good. This and want to go on an Austin Vince trip having dug out the old dvds makes me really want to buy a smaller dirt bike... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aE0SZSFqBUg&li...
I liked the Motorcyclist Magazine commute to work reviews but I don't think the same guy works for them any more.
BVG's voice grates on me like teeth on a rat tail file so I can't watch his channel or 44 teeth.
I like the misenden flier's reviews but his videos of how to change a tyre (he rode the bike to a tyre shop) and the one where he read MCN to you beggared belief.
I hate everything that shows stupid or angry or stupid angry people. If stupid or angry or stupid angry people were rare it would be funny but they're not.

Bike World are doing a rebuild of a Ducati Desmosedici RR at the moment, been dipping into some of their other stuff too.
I wondered where BikeWorld has disappeared too, quite enjoyed the programme (when it was on Quest?)Through the website ive found they are now on Amazon prime but it seems to be only older episodes, ill look into some of the other suggestions made here as well.
in addition to those previously mentioned:
andybcole - andy and dave's adventures (usually on gs adventures), well made and pretty fun
frazer langford - likes to say "so" a lot but has some interesting bike/camp videos
jon bird - no longer posts but has a great lads euro adventure
motojitsu (fast eddie) some of his stuff is interesting and regularly posts content
not bike but engineering and worth a quick peek:

I'm exactly the opposite - watching Missenden is like listening to wallpaper paste dribbling to me. So dull.I like the misenden flier's reviews...
At the moment I'm just on 44T, BvG and MC Garage/MC Commute, but I'll check out some of these.

Bike World was on Motorsport TV, so it disappeared with the channel.Through the website ive found they are now on Amazon prime but it seems to be only older episodes, ill look into some of the other suggestions made here as well.
