That CB350 is gorgeous! Same with the Cougar. And Los Angeles was so nice in the 70's.

Watching this shows just how much more attractive and exciting the bikes were and how much more enjoyable riding was

My 2 main bikes are a Royal Enfield Bullet 500 and '64 Piaggio Vespa 177. I absolutely love riding them even though they aren't super fast and people stop to gawk and take pictures everywhere I park.

I was stationed in Maine and 5 of us in the same Squadron had 1971 CL 350 Honda’s . The 350CL redlined at 10500 RPM. We had a metal grate bridge in town with waterfalls just above it and it always sucked to drive across

Very good information! I've been riding since 1974. These defensive practices have kept me alive for 47 years. Headlight on always and high beam during the daytime! Enjoy the open road!

Love the ‘59 Buick!

If you mean the Buick at 0:40, It's a '60 (LeSabre or Invicta as it has three "Ventiports") The '59 Buicks had canted headlights, The '60 Buicks had the hard edges rounded off and straight headlights. I had a 1960 LeSabre back "in the day" (1978). 😊

@@centeguahan3760 The 1970's are just like yesterday for us old guys, so such films encourage virtual re-living of the "good old days".
1:11 '66-'67 ish Dodge A-100 Van. Had 1 of those too. 👍

The last time that I used hand signals was in the late 1960s. Back then the bikes didn't have turn signals. I thought it was amusing that the rider in the film was using hand signals even though he had electric turn signals.

Good practice if your scoot has funky electrics! 😳

That's the problem with bikes; they are more vulnerable and demand an extra- cautious and careful rider. Unfortunately, they tend to attract the opposite type.
