Back in the late 90's l was teaching the BMW Motorcycles course at the American Motorcycle Institute. We used this video in our novice technician program.

Love these retro safety videos! Can never be too safe! Ouch, I hurt my finger typing this message! Damn it

I love these old retro bike rider videos. Timeless advice and very entertaining scenery.

Even though this was made in the 70's and in Germany, people still try and follow the rules, but motorists still dont see a motor bike Always wear leathers and a helmet, skin and tarmac arent best friends and its harder than your head

Forbidden and dangerous to drive between the two lines of traffic....

r90s

Safety? Well for a start,he's on the wrong side of the road 😊🇭🇲

Filmed in Germany, it seems. As an interesting side fact, in the Netherlands (and I think Europe too) motorists pass drivers only on the left lane and drive on the right one otherwise. Unless soon there would be a split on the highway to another direction and you needed to be in that lane and also occasionally you will find a driver that just stays in that lane longer just because even though this is not correct/allowed. Also, I loved hearing the opening theme of the Rockford Files in the beginning.

Great airborne pics of the DS area. The landing area looks manageable.

@user-bz4mk7rh4h where are you Denis?

That film was ahead of it's time. The R90s wasn't introduced until 1973.

That’s the Rockford Files theme playing in the background.

5:15 Ah, nature!

"the Rockford files" theme

Ah, smooth and elegant - essential safety advice coupled with fashion. Loved the groovy music too. 45+ years of riding and no (knock knock knock) accidents - love every ride! 2005 Yamaha FJR1300 in elegant Galaxy Blue 🙂

It took me a second to realize that this is an English translation of a German training film. The narrator is British, but his tone and word choices are very German

Ach Bože, z dnešního úhlu pohledu idylická doba ...

Safety is a high priority. Memorise the recipe to Chicken Parmigiana before you start any ride and always obey ducks who suddenly appear with a loud and satisfying quack. And finally, always wait 30 minutes between riding sessions for your tummy to settle down. Talley ho.

Rockford files music.

Great people, great times :)

They don't even mention it in the commentary, but that 360 turn that he does in the garage, using the sidestand, is a really great tip, I had been biking for years before figuring that one out quite recently.

I just re watched this video. Quaint as it now seems, it really is a very well made little film. It must have been quite a feat of editing and hours of riding to capture examples of all the situations the rider faces and to link them all so smoothly into the narrative: even got the rain to cooperate! Bravo!

Upto year 2000 , india was not having bikes with turn indicators

5:40 is a golden rule. Still, a few other things in this video seemed a little bit dangerous, particularly assertively asking what is happening, but then not taking any pre-emptive steps to ensure there is a real way out if the perceived risk becomes a hazard. The comment is based on my own experience, which has been quite long and learned the hard way, at times. You all go and learn it for yourselves, if you have not already! :D And have fun. Happy riding!

7:25 "Never rely on other people to do the right thing. Look ahead and think ahead." And to add to that, after riding a bike for 38+ years now, i always ride as if i'm invisible to other motorists. I never assume that anyone can see me. Never assume anything out on the road. You'll live longer that way.

The fact is, many of us are in love with retro (regardless of what The World Economic Forum would have us believe). Even today I popped in a shop called Tizwaz and bought a cafe racer leather jacket

Cool video. Funny to see the vw Beetles. I gave my Beetle to my daughter to justify buying the bike.

Wat ontzettend leuk!!!!!!

Awesome : turn your bike into 3 seconds on the same point 🙂👍

"requires good handling" - drives over the middle line.

That’s a nice bike

The times when it was OK to promote motoring, overtaking and reasonable speed.

That turn of a bike on a stand! Loved it!

Great piece of film, thanks for posting. The guy can ride ! I’m also old enough to remember Jim Rockford, he taught me to do handbrake turns ! My main take-away from this is : Always go everywhere as fast as possible, pass and stay in front of all other traffic at all times.

How can this be a 1970 film when this model motorcycle wasn’t released until 1975?

Is someone watching Rockford files during this?

thank u robin!

Man Robin still reads comments from 10 years ago, good man

If you're lucky enough to have a girlfriend lol. I think the narrator would have a heart attack if she wanted to drive! Great video though

Always wondered what a 70s Squid and Squib missiles looked like. Yammie Noob fans will know what I’m talking about. 😂🤣😂

Beautiful film. Beautiful racing German riding machine. 10/10. Useful and great video.

Not sure if an English voiceover is appropriate for footage filmed in Germany when referring to left and right turns. Is he talking about the turns relative to left-hand drive or right-hand drive traffic??

That beautiful distinctive Boxer sound, LOVE IT!!!!

This is it - the film that got me into motorcycling.

Some good tips there,even more applicable on today's busy roads.Thanks for uploading....DA

Oh gracious Lord, that R90s! My school had a trip to the Motor Show in London in 75 I think it was. On the BMW car stand, behind the red ropes was one of these in that stunning orange. All my schoolfriends were off drooling over Italian exotics and Rolls Royces. But I was captivated by that bike. I couldn’t take my eyes off it. It burned a mark on my soul that never went away. I think that day blew the fuse that supplied a lifelong love of cars in me, and from that day forward it was bikes. Still is.

What a beautiful bike. 😍

prehaps you should start by saying riding rather than driving, and why is a British film featuring german footage

Cant be 1970. That is a BMW R90S. Not sold till 1974/5
