Silodrome stumbled upon this 1972 video called "Motorcycle Driving Tactics," which is chock-full of vintage iron in its prime, along with plenty of sound advice for new and seasoned riders alike -- riding defensively, being aware of what’s on the road ahead and wearing proper protection. It shows how the basics of motorcycle riding have changed little over the decades.

Interestingly, the video has footage from car-motorcycle crash testing, which drives home the dangers associated with riding. It’s a bit painful to watch.

Don’t let the 15-minute runtime scare you off: Take the time to watch it and enjoy the vintage motorcycles (and cars) in their prime. You’ll even hear some Shakespeare while maybe learning something new.
