I don’t really follow many YouTubers apart from Chaos Causes — some guy in South Africa. Really like how good his video stuff is.
Just wondering if there’s a UK equivalent out there? Someone like the Mat Armstrong of motorcycles — proper DIY garage builds, salvage stuff, or even ride POVs.

Not too fussed about fancy production, just looking for real-world content with a bit of character. Any recommendations?

Here is an old thread on the same subject, some of the recommendations there are still going strong:

I expect there are plenty of new ones to add though.

RRC Restoration, My Restoration and Aaron Colton are good channels for rebuilds.

Depends what you're looking for; classic, custom, modern rebuilds?

For classic stuff I like this guy: Panther Owners Club. He does pretty much everything himself from wheel building, to sidecar manufacture (chassis and body) to making and painting his own fuel tank. He also does a lot of plodding about on old bikes.

Not a Matt Armstrong giggling affair - I like Matt Armstrong tbf, this is just different!

Ash Rowland - reviving dead '80s superbikes - FXR1000, ZX10, CB1000F, GPZ900R - and a couple of Ducatis.

If you are inclined towards old British stuff you may find this chap interesting..

I really like the basic no nonsense approach.
