Think perfect day
Uploaded in 2010, this Think Perfect Day motorcycle road safety video shows a perfect motorcycle ride where a rider is given visual warnings of a variety of road hazards and with plenty of time to respond. Whilst many road hazards can be anticipated and planned for, the point of the video is that real-life riding is not always this forgiving. For a perfect day and a perfect ride, skilled, responsible riders constantly ‘think’ ahead!
