Motorcycle Accident Safety Video
Motorcycle Accident Safety Video
This is a dated motorcycle basic rider safety video. 1990s. While horribly flawed in some of its instructions (it advises to never use a motorcycle’s rear brake and to not do a full head-check, among other incorrect assertions), it still contains a modicum of good information. If you can get past the poor on-camera presence of some of the so-called “experts” and the sometimes questionable things filmed on the street in order to demonstrate what *not* to do, you’ll enjoy an hour of great classic motorcycles from a quarter-century ago.

2011 Harley-Davidson FLSTFB Softail Fat Boy Lo
There are several Harley-Davidson models with the Softail frame, including the Softail Standard, Custom, Springer Softail, Heritage Softail, Heritage Springer, Night Train, Deluxe, Deuce, Fat Boy, the Dark Custom Cross Bones, and the Dark Custom Blackline. These motorcycles have the same engine, transmission and frame with the exception of the Deuce, which has a 2 inches (51 mm) backbone stretch, but differ in the choice of fork, wheels and accessories.
