Motorcycle VIDEOS

The advanced motorcycle riding videos / motorcycle 'training' videos below are included here for you to either learn some of the points of Motorcycle Roadcraft or see it in action. They have all been produced by third parties and CVAM has not been involved in their making.
Scroll towards the bottom of the page for some great Motorcycle Safety Campaign videos that really should appear on TV regularly, making serious points with great humour!

What to do - (1) Click the thumbnail images below  (2) Click the play button when the video player opens (3) Click the video player 'window' again to open the original YouTube page in a new window if you want more information about the video.

Things you should consider when watching any on-road motorcycle videos.

1. Watch the bike being filmed, NOT the camera bike.
2. There's no such thing as a perfect ride.
3. On-bike and helmet mounted cameras do NOT give the same view as the human eye.
4. If you spot an error, treat it as a learning point for YOU not to do it!

You may  not completely agree with some of the points made or advice given within these short videos but remember, as already stated, there really is no such thing as a 'perfect ride' and what to do when can be subjective. Open discussion on these advanced riding videos is invited here

If you find any interesting videos on the internet that you think should be included here,

Technical Requirements

 

 YouTube, Google Video etc.

The videos on the CVAM website are hosted on YouTube, Google Video, etc. and you may experience slow performance or "video no longer available" at busy times. If you get stuttering/choppy playback, just click on the pause button and wait for the progress bar to completely fill, then click the play button again. Doing this will allow the video to finish downloading and remove pauses in the playback caused by waiting for the network or remote site. Clicking on a video while it is playing will cause the YouTube site to open, unless you have a pop-up blocker installed, so be careful you don't double click to start the video playing. Also if you are viewing from your workplace, the system administrator may have blocked access to video files.
