Look, Signal, Manœuvre! (1965) A Motorcycle Safety Film Produced By Associated British Pathe
Another fun vintage video espousing the virtues of motorcycle safety in a bygone era. The difference between responsible motorcyclists and jackasses on two wheels (yes, they existed back then too!) are explored! Rare to see, but you do get to see a proper Matchless thumper in action as hand signals are reinforced during a time where indicators did not exist on motorcycles in London. Enjoy a step back into time when classics could be had for less than a fraction of today’s costs.
Made in cooperation with the Ministry of Transport.

Dearie me Toms friend. Having fun on a motorbike, that will not do!
I like the way the throttles and front brakes work themselves when you safely keep your hands off the bars repeatedly to indicate. i think Tom might like to give an early R1 a whirl and see how he gets on……… Cue ..time travel….
Great video
won't be going out after dark with those L plates on the headlights……
The only Highway Code hand signal now is the finger.
