Motorcycle Driving Tactics is a 1972 training film for motorcyclists designed to help save lives and reduce injury rates. There’s an interesting section covering motorcycle vs car crash testing that includes slow motion footage – an interesting insight, although it it painful to watch pristine motorcycles being wrecked beyond any reasonable repair.
At just 15 minutes in length, the film offers quite a bit of good advice and is well worth a watch – and who knows – it might just save your life one day.
