Best UK Motorcycle YouTubers? Rebuilds, Restorations & Rides
Discussion
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.

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!

If you are inclined towards old British stuff you may find this chap interesting..
I really like the basic no nonsense approach.

Few worth checking out:
• Superbike Surgery – he’s a mechanic and films a lot of what comes through his workshop. Some interesting stuff, proper hands-on.
• Alejo’s Bikes – only just found this one. Met the guy at Mallory Park, his R6 battery almost went up on track 😂 just starting out on YouTube but looks like he’s getting stuck into rebuilds and track stuff.
• Brothers Garage – it’s in Spanish but has English subs. They do full-on rebuild episodes, start to finish. Really decent content if you don’t mind subtitles.
