Neither is TMF
Agreed, which is why I don't watch either.

As suggested by some earlier in the thread he has now got Allen Millyard on the case.

Millyard is so nice to people!
He will probably just push the plug caps on properly and Miss Enden will claim some massive engine rebuild was required lol

Having seen the latest ep all can say is it reminds me of someone in an office that cant get the printer to work.
Rather than ask literally anyone else in the room, he says he wants bill gates to come round and have a look lol.

Yeah but if he asked one of the thousands of people who have more knowledge than MF he wouldn't get a ton of clicks from the Millyard fanbase...

His latest video is amusing in a sadistic kind of way laugh

His side panel fell off, so he went back to pick it up, but stopped directly alongside it. A passing car, moving over to avoid TMF ran straight over the side panel

People seem to expect everything of everyone sometimes.

Clearly the bloke isn’t mechanically inclined at all, but he is a successful bike reviewer and clearly very good at that.

Clarkson has to be the most extreme example of massive automotive related successes alongside a very basic mechanical comprehension. He uses a broad vocabulary very well ie. he is a journalist, like MF, not an Engineer.

Henry Cole can’t seem to do right for doing wrong but he gets more airtime than 100% of his detractors

Honestly, in this day and age I just expect people not to be bigoted a$$holes, but Miss Enden makes a point of saying things like "This bike isn't for girls" whilst simultaneously displaying riding skills that are laughable. So the criticism isn't unwarranted.

OK kids biggrin

MF doesn't know a handlebar from a spark plug, that much is quite obvious, but I enjoy his content.

I bet Allen Millyard thought "FRO and leave me alone and let me get on with it" (Except when the hob nobs came out")

Agreed on the expectation, but you may have caught him in a rare moment as he seems to be a very middle of the road type presenter, at least in my experience of watching his videos.

He seems to have a lot of tools including an air line and bench grinder. He proclames to have no knowledge.
I think he might be more knowledgeable than he lets on.

Could be true but also could be a lot of freebies he has scored. Currently seems to be working om multi millon dollar hobnobs contract lol
Tbh the kh250 stuff has been entertaining and well made. Not a fan of his reading the MCN out to us and never watch that on principle.

I feel it's played up for the cameras. He's managed to drag it out to how many videos now?

More to the point, it was an unknown (to him) and possibly rebuilt two-banger and he never covered the clutch once hehe
