Bike Stuff on Netflix and Amazon Prime

[Scraggydog64]

I have both Netflix and Amazon Prime. Don't watch them but the wife does.

Just had an operation and recuperation is going to take a while so I have an enforced month or two in the house with very little to do.

Can anyone recommend any good bike related documentaries etc. on Netflix or Amazon Prime?

Thanks

Amazon did have MotoGP unlimited which follows the 2021 season from memory. Road is on there if you like road racing also.

There's quite a few others on there if you search.

I'm not sure Netflix has much bike content to be honest.

Amazon had a documentary called Hogslayer, about the fastest Norton in the world.. but just checked and its 'no longer available in your area'. Perhaps its on Netflix?

Road is on Amazon prime, it’s about the Dunlop family and was very good

The World's Fastest Indian is on Amazon. If you haven't watched it, you must but it may make you cry! True story of Burt Munro, a Kiwi who took a home modified and ancient Indian Scout to Bonneville and set a speed record that lasted for ages. Fabulous movie starring Anthony Hopkins. Not just a great motorcycle move, it's a really great Movie. Mrs Gixer watched it and loved it and she couldn't be less interested in motorcycles

I don't think you can beat all the stuff on YouTube (which you can cast to a TV if yours isn't smart)

Do you already have a full playlist or do you want suggestions ?

Fantastic film isn't it? I hadn't heard of it before this year, watched and loved it.

Got2GO on Youtube is worth a watch - her stuff in Oman is a particular highlight, in a different class to some of her European work.

Itchy Boots on YouTube is something to get your teeth into. Once she sorts her format out midway through the first season, some of the sights are unbelievable. There's a serious amount of content on there too. I've just started season 3 not long ago.

There will be other YouTubers doing something similar I suspect. There will be more content than you'll be able to watch, easily. Might even be worth the £11.99 for 2 months of ad free viewing if you're going to binge. Production quality is surprisingly high on some of the more established channels, too.

Ads ???

I use an Adblocker - uBlock Origin then through Chrome rather than the app

Love itchy boots, looks like she's training for rally type stuff now with her latest uploads.

Another vote for itchie boots. Start at season one and work through it. Hands down the best viewing ever.

I'm sure faster or fastest is on Amazon prime, and another one I can't remember the name of... The Moto GP documentaries

Edit - hitting the apex the other ones called

I'm a big fan of dave hewson on YouTube, lots of mechanical videos plus some from his racing/ spannering for others racing.

I, Superbiker (x 5) on Netflix. Reviews of BSB seasons from around 2012 i think.

[Scraggydog64]

Thanks for the replies everyone.

I like watching the Million Dollar Bogan adventures on YT. He's not for everyone I find him entertaining and the scenery is stunning.

Ed March/C90 adventures is another YouTuber worth a watch.
