He is still dragging this one out ! I know he is getting a whole series out of it, but for the love of the two stroke gods, get Allen Millyard on it ! 30 mins, the correct tools, one of Traceys cakes and it would be running perfectly !
What are Tracey's cakes ?

Tried to watch what was probably the first of his KH250 vid's. I like old tat and used to have a KH - such a simple device I didn't think one could cause any problems.. Anyway, couldn't stand watching it. But it's obviously not for my taste.
I've a few mates who have taken to running You Tube channels - two of the most successful are boring as f*ck. I wish them well, and they enjoy the filming etc., but not for me. Then again, I watched a two hundred million dollar movie last night and found it completely unengaging... good job we're all different.

Getting Allen Millyard in would be too easy, he'd have it up and running in ten minutes.

I love MF's content, he doesn't take himself too seriously, and not everyone can be a master mechanic.

That bike is lovely, looking forward to his road test, hopefully, it won't break down a mile from his house.
Yep, there are lots of us who might be taken in by something shiny that's actually rubbish. Good for the channel I think and a lesson for the rest of us that it's best buying a bike that's been used by someone rather than something bought on the cheap and tarted up to look good for a quick profit.

I can't help but think that's precicely what he's doing.

I haven't watched his stuff in a long time until this but I can now remember why I stopped watching initially...

Heatwave probably means he is marooned out in the wilderness with oiled up plugs after plodding along at 28 mph in top gear. Im looking forward to the next instalment!

Nor does he looking at the latest instalment. If only he would just go out and thrash it rather than all the procrastination videos.

I think they get a good bit more . Have a look at Steve Marsh YouTube on companies house .
Then look at his subscribers about 360k. His vids about 250k to 350 k views. Last one was around the world cruise on QE 2 for two months in January with his girlfriend. The ticket price I looked it up was £88k each! He got maybe 10 vids out of it .

I’ve no idea who steve marsh is but he’s undoubtedly more popular than Andy. It’s not just a straight up fee but I can’t imagine tmf is on loads more than £12 a thousand.

If you want some proper tinkering check this chap out. He’s a proper, old school bike man. His restorations are actually that, not just buying bits he either refurbishes or remakes smile

If you want to see bike restoration try RRC Restorations on YouTube.
It's the most relaxing TV going , and some hugely skilled work

I’ve been watching him today too. So satisfying watching someone who has all the right tools and can do everything themself smile

TMF did a breakdown a while ago, I think it was about £35K-£40K p.a. Which isn't much given the amount of work that goes in to creating content.

Steve Marsh has over 1M views on a lot of his videos, which I don't understand at all. He wanders about Scotland in the rain for an hour, it's not particularly interesting.
