Motorcycle Accident Safety Video

Motorcycle Accident Safety Video

This is a dated motorcycle basic rider safety video. 1990s. While horribly flawed in some of its instructions (it advises to never use a motorcycle’s rear brake and to not do a full head-check, among other incorrect assertions), it still contains a modicum of good information. If you can get past the poor on-camera presence of some of the so-called “experts” and the sometimes questionable things filmed on the street in order to demonstrate what *not* to do, you’ll enjoy an hour of great classic motorcycles from a quarter-century ago.

For some of us a quick review of motorcycle safety instructions can be useful. In our age of cell phones and texting, motorcycle riding has become much more dangerous & requires motorcycle riders to be ever vigilant. Read more »

Failure to maintain the tensioners can cause catastrophic engine failure.

Harley Softail

Harley-Davidson Softail

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:

In Harley-Davidson motorcycles, the softail frame is designed to look like the hardtail bikes of the past, while still offering the comfort of rear suspension. The shock absorbers are positioned along the axis of the motorcycle, tucked away under the transmission.

2011 Harley-Davidson FLSTFB Softail Fat Boy Lo

There are several Harley-Davidson models with the Softail frame, including the Softail Standard, Custom, Springer Softail, Heritage Softail, Heritage Springer, Night Train, Deluxe, Deuce, Fat Boy, the Dark Custom Cross Bones, and the Dark Custom Blackline. These motorcycles have the same engine, transmission and frame with the exception of the Deuce, which has a 2 inches (51 mm) backbone stretch, but differ in the choice of fork, wheels and accessories.

Police Chase Bikers

Police chase bikers

Well, not really . . . this is a staged stunt video shoot. But, it’s really incredible video cycle & car drifting in 1080 HD! To really get the best view, be sure to change video settings to 1080 and than go full screen.  Many cameras and angles were used to produce this great video . . . enjoy!
