Motorbike Camera - Falling off in the rain (HD)
Переглядів 1,8 тис.11 років тому
Heavy rain and thunderstorms. Tram tracks merging into my lane, A simple yet tricky moment, that obviously got the better of me.... I still find it soooooooo Hong Kong that people just go on about their normal business as if a guy sliding past them down the middle of the road for 60ft is a normal thing....LOL

The footage is from a while back but i love watching it, was in the day when things were always more fun..... I wouldnt expect many people to watch this all the way through other than RC guys, it looks boring but it has some great little clips throughout.

@denis-ms8fk
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.
@@slash5city thanks for giving the video some context, did they also get a chuckle back then?
We all loved the 'Rockford Files'-esque music. I started riding BMW 10 years after this film was made.
@@slash5city i think we all still love that music :)
Love these retro safety videos! Can never be too safe! Ouch, I hurt my finger typing this message! Damn it
@@theone2be33 lol🤣
I love these old retro bike rider videos. Timeless advice and very entertaining scenery.
@@unwrangler11 thanks, stay tuned as im planning on uploading a bunch more this summer, just haven't had time yet👍
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.
correct 🤣
5:15 Ah, nature!
Gotta love nature😉
"the Rockford files" theme
yes :)
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 ...
yes, good times
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.
This made me laugh ololol
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 had been riding 20yrs before i saw this documentary and only then did i learn about the 360, once i started doing it most bikers were just as amazed as us and would say why did they not know that before haha
On a smooth hard surface, you don't even need to pull the bike onto one side of the centre stand; I just push the back of the bike down and then swivel it round.
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!
yes i feel the same, they were ahead of their time in making this
Upto year 2000 , india was not having bikes with turn indicators
Crazy ! hahaha
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!
Completely agree, should always plan for the worst 100ft in front, and yes i think most riders have learned something the hard way, thats the essence of bikes eventually, nowadays with so many distractions it is often not a matter of if they fall but when haha
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.
great advice yes, i must agree 100%, on bikes you assume the worst on the road always
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.
Was a smart way to get a new bike :)
Wat ontzettend leuk!!!!!!
Awesome : turn your bike into 3 seconds on the same point 🙂👍
"requires good handling" - drives over the middle line.
"do as i say not as i do" lol
That’s a nice bike
she's a beauty :)
The times when it was OK to promote motoring, overtaking and reasonable speed.
kinda sad to think one day too that cruising on a bike with a full tank of petrol will be a thing of the past
That turn of a bike on a stand! Loved it!
yes, a proper big boy move that :)
Think you could do that with an Indian Roadmaster?
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.
yes haha, go as fast as poss and always stay in front, i too got this impression from it, thanks for your comment :)
But don't forget - always project Elegance! Then you're a Real Winner 🤗
lol
How can this be a 1970 film when this model motorcycle wasn’t released until 1975?
It was actually developed in 1971 and 1972 based on the "dash5" model, then released at the Paris Auto show in 1973. The film title should say 1970's not 1970 but i haven't got round to changing it.
Is someone watching Rockford files during this?
Must be yes lol
thank u robin!
your welcome ;)
Man Robin still reads comments from 10 years ago, good man
Haha thanks, yes i read every comment, if someone took the time to comment something meaningful ill always take the time to reply :) Its the gentlemanly thing to do lol
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
yes, he would have a fit nowadays lolol
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.
Thankyou so much for the nice comment, really appreciated.
@@RobinPhillips very welcome.
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??
haha yes, that classic war time colonial english accent
That beautiful distinctive Boxer sound, LOVE IT!!!!
The sound of youth :)
@@RobinPhillips I rode one airhead (R80R) and I am riding now my second oilhead (R1150RT), but the sound remains lovely.
i got to ride a friends one for a few days in Australia many moons ago, such a great ride.
This is it - the film that got me into motorcycling.
That makes two of us :) So happy to of brought you back a good memory, i am uploading some more like this this summer if you like this kind of thing :)
Some good tips there,even more applicable on today's busy roads.Thanks for uploading....DA
yes, some needed updating, but others still hold up in the modern day.
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.
i loved reading your blast from the past, big thanks for sharing :)
What a beautiful bike. 😍
yes isnt it, love that, i should be uploading a few more films from this saftey series from the 70s this summer, the bike appears again in one of them ;)
prehaps you should start by saying riding rather than driving, and why is a British film featuring german footage
The first sentence in the film does says "riding a motorbike", and its filmed in germany because BMW helped pay the production cost (for exposure of their brand) due to British sadly not wanting to sponsor or pay for the films production.
@@RobinPhillips the commentator can't seems to make his mind up whether it's ride or drive,you could be about the reason for the film showing German footage though
i think the commentator isnt a bike rider as he does seem a bit to sound like a car guy talking about bikers LOL
i recently found a few more old bike safety films like this, i will upload this summer
Cant be 1970. That is a BMW R90S. Not sold till 1974/5
Could be yes, the title should be 1970's i think, thanks
