The 1Rider Video Collection

Mama says he's bona fide
We've accumulated some great videos here in 1Rider, but they're in individual threads that tend to wander around in the thread list as new posts come along. So I'm gathering them up into this stickied thread where they will be easy to find.

Keeping with the 1Rider theme, I'm limiting videos in this thread to topics like attitude, decision making, and strategy. They will help you think about riding in ways that will make you safer, but won't get deeply into riding skills. Attitude and strategy must be supported with good skills, of course. For excellent videos on riding technique, you can't beat Captain Crash's Howzit Done series. The MSF site also has some good skills videos.

Got a suggestion? Send me a PM, or post it up here. If there's a lot of discussion about a new video, I'll move it to a thread of its own in order to keep this thread lean and the videos easy to find.

The CHP's Thrill Or Buzz Kill?has a powerful message told by riders and the families of riders.

A Perfect Day

This video, A Perfect Day, is a brilliant--and amusing--piece of work from the UK Department for Transport. Other videos they have done send a message to drivers, but this one is for riders.

Danny Eslick and Michael Barnes on Motorcycle Safety from Geico

You may hate their TV commercials, but Geico did a superb job on this video featuring AMA racers Danny Eslick and Michael Barnes.

Crash Course -- The SMIDSY

SMIDSY--Sorry mate, I didn't see you--is Britspeak for the kind of crash where a driver pulls out in front of a motorcycle and claims he didn't see it. This excellent video by riding instructor Duncan MacKillop demonstrates a phenomenon that can contribute to that kind of crash and recommends countermeasures to prevent it.

For discussion of the technique, see the 1Rider thread Traffic Tactics: Left-Turning Vehicles
