Look At Life 1960's Scrambling 

I whole heartedly agree the e button keeps this 62 year old in the saddle

In the 80s and 90s if you had a button you were a wimp, I've had sportsteritis many times and now need a new right knee. I'm 61 lol

We should make a comeback The over the hill gang😂😂🤙

🙏👍👍

You beat me to it. That's how real men got things done. I swear I could feel the metal chips hitting me in the face.

i got my first fine at 13 years old on a '84 KX80.... now i smoke weed lol

@@MattQrillz bet you wish you still had that little kx

That KX80 was an awesome little bike

It was indeed, went like the clappers. Do wish i still had it. Use to tear up the backyard with it, my mate would come over with his RM80b? i think it was. Good times..

@@MattQrillz i had a dt175mx,out of all the bikes i have owened thats the one i miss. The best times

David Smith not always the most interesting rides

Here in Southern Ontario Canada our house is surrounded by 10 acres of fields. Beyond that is miles of Crown land forest. Granted the forest is a Canadian one so it's very thick and hard to travel through but there are trails and if you follow them a couple of miles there's a nice motocross track where the forest thins out. If you follow some more trails from that track you come to an even larger track. It's nice, you get to do a combination of woods and track riding. It's also good for our snowmobiles in the winter. The only downside is having to go out with the chainsaws in the spring to clear the trails after the winter.

Since the CROW act 2000, nearly all the legal trails we used to ride locally (RUPPS) have been downgraded to Restricted Byways with no vehicular rights. Legal trail riding has just about died here in South Wales. There are the odd UCRs that are still OK to ride but very little else.

Just ride on your local Moor land, police hardly go up there

@Some 1poisoned the water hole Where I live there were loads of great legal trails, the trouble was some people who rode their trail bike like nutters with no respect for other trail users. These people thought they were moto crossers or endure racers, they typically didn't enter proper events, just played at racing on legal trails upsetting other users. "Ride it like you stole it" just sums up some riders. If you go back 30 or 40 years, trail riders didn't have problems around here, then pseudo racers came along with fast noisy bikes and spoilt it for everyone. Problem is that there are so many selfish people around in all walks of life fucking it up for others. There are of course the selfish ramblers who think they should have access to everything to themselves only.

If I remember rightly, it was 4 inches. But, yeah, God help you if your butt ever touched the seat. You were launched.

imagine back in the days of motorized bicycle racing, dirt tracks in fields with absolutely no suspension

And that, hasn't really changed much, just ask any seasoned motocrosser. I had a yamaha 360. It had a grey green tank with a strap to hold it on. It was badass. As far as power. It handled like a drunken slinky. anyways......

He'll yeah, miss the foot pegs thru the woops and come down on the feul cap. Meanwhile never letting off the throttle lol

@@anthonycrompton1980i know that move ....also; I often marvel at the difference in hauling ass down fire roads and logging access, you know, the fast, smooth, sweeping gravel corners .... On the old bikes, man, watch out in that loose stuff on flat turns! On my 86.. not exactly 'new' .. lol .. CR500, 12 inches of showa suspension, and on that year they had a cartridge fork option, which aided compression damping on surprises.... no. really! ..anyways.... on that bike you could go adrenalinuts, throttle to the stop, smooth sailing around those curves ... those were some great times!

They all work in health and safety..

They are the ones that are so miserable nothing makes them happy. They prolly scroll through videos all day giving thumbs down. This video is so awesome!

90 scum

+JR CannYeah, I noticed that too!

And a huge thumper sound too. They sound like Goldstar 500's. What were they thinking. I am glad I am not the first to comment. Talk about an editing failure.

HUGO FUGUSEV pp

Well spotted. I was wondering WTF was going on too. They fake anything and rely upon the ignorance of the masses.

Yep noticed that too.....and why do they do that in the movies too....if its a two smoker they use the sound of some 4 stroke and vice-verser.....lord Belvoir walks out the room scratching his head, pmsl

Riders were riders, it's just that today they don't allow you to be badass nor they encourage it,they want you to be an obeying little sheep living in safe space

Dingle Berry we’re just a bunch of men watching the video in flatcaps

Maybe that’s why the British motorbike died

My thoughts as well. Just some random dudes who are good at working on machines. I love it

@@derekwhyle1884 that, and neoliberal globalists like Maggie and Tony...

Same here. Only in our case it's much worse because our country is so much smaller

SCUMBAGS are CORRUPT

It's the great English self-righteousness affliction. One only has to look at the gammon who buy a house near to Mallory Park then complain about track days... Even when they're cancelled. I'm ashamed to be British these days. A country filled with whining unskilled halfwits.

Sophie Hawthorne Britain doesn’t trust her subject with sharpened objects… So yeah, no motorcycle parks.

@@walterkersting9922 But no problem building eyesore housing estates and skate parks. We live next to an RAF airfield which holds a two day track day and I've discovered a Motocross track which has lots of practice days as well as hosting race days. Last year they started hosting grass track meetings in the field next door. Things are looking up around here 😊

Robin Watters I was a member of Solihull MC/club and was at several meetings at Hawkstone. I also met DB & JS. We had a very special visitor one time in the form of Roy Orbison, dark glasses and all. He spent time with all the club riders, not just the stars, lovely chap.

rich smith in the UK our freedoms and the smell of Castrol R have all but gone ! Vimeo.com/226630027

Yup, I was a teenager in the early 70's, rode dirt bikes in Southern Calif all over the place with my friends and right by Carlsbad Raceway. Raced there a few times in the 125 class, All those riding areas are long gone, housing estates and factory stores now. I went to the UK when I joined the Air Force in 76, stayed there for 16 years all together, went to the British GP back in 78. This film was just fantastic.

Castor Bean oil is alive & well, I use it in all my machinery from chain saws to dirt bikes!

Outdoors :)

rich smith sounds like you need to talk to more young people! My friends and I are all in our early 20s and each one of us have a deep appreciation for old school moto. As for the hate for supercross: I get it. It's a far cry from how early tracks were designed but, in the same breath, the guys that ride supercross well are by far the most talented moto riders on the planet. Those tracks are insane.

Robert, being an old timer, I remember those happier days quite well. We weren't quite so concerned about how we must have more than the other fellow. We were happy with what we had and had fun making improvements to what we were fortunate enough to own and afford. I think that social media is part of the problem with today's society. Everyone is too busy minding to someone else's business instead of doing what makes them personally happy. I'm glad that I was alive during those simpler and happier days. I wouldn't trade those memories for the world.

Dear William, Absolutely right..........As I say, things were far from perfect in my youth, but you can't deny that we were at least more or less free of this Orwellian hate filled world we now inhabit.......The electronic soup we live in is getting thicker and thicker......then what ???

Robert, my friend, very well said! I grew up dealing with dysfunction in the home, but my friends and I found pleasure in constructive pursuits. We didn't have much, but we made do. Theft was not considered as a method for gain, never. At least not with those that I chose to be with. My parents would lower the boom on me if I were to do such things. My Old Man was no one cross. I mentioned to the wife the other day how comedy has changed. I noticed with this younger generation that they can't find a reason to laugh unless they're inflicting hardship on another. It's a sadistic group this younger crowd is. I don't know how this evolved except through what has to be that "electronic soup" as you say. The character assassinations that kids inflict on their peers has ruined and ended young lives, all brought on by electronic social media. It happens all of the time. It's so sad, yet these kids think it's great fun to destroy others. These electronic war games have played a role in desensitizing our youth toward killing others, also. It must give them the illusion that killing another can be reversed, just as it is in a game. If they cared, they would know that there's a big difference between games and reality. The youth of today go to hear a concert and what do they do? They pack guns to take with them. They shoot into an innocent group of people, for the hell of it, then they jump onto their hybrid telephones to see how much gossip they've generated on Twitter and FaceBook. Robert, I'm just glad that I'm getting to the age now where I won't be around too much longer. I'm sick of the violence and cruelty and I don't see anything getting much better in the future. I apologize for the extended rant, but I needed to let off some steam. May peace be with you and all of the best to you and yours. By the way. I still turn a wrench now and then. It gets my mind away from all of this crap going on. My baby is an old Ford Mustang that's far from perfect.

Hi William, I was in the music business and had a minor hit in the 70's. I worked with everyone from Hank Marvin to Norman Wisdom.....Fab days with proper comedy and variety entertainment........Now any pratt can call themselves an "act" with autotune software plugged in, and computer backing tracks ........It would be comical if it were not so sad.......Goons like Olly Murs/Robbie Williams classed as "singers"....would not have passed the audition for a Butlin's redcoat in my day............Adele £90 million ??...........this is for writing depressing dirges about being dumped by various men...(wonder why!)............The whole Simon Cowell throwaway junk has ruined proper nurtured talent and will continue to do so.................Anyway .............I obviously need to chill out, and put a Lidl pizza in the microwave, kick my cheap trainers off, get on the couch with my pitbull, and watch some more Jeremy Kyle whilst waiting for my Giro.....................

Robert Parkes Robert, it never ceases to amaze me of the quality people that one can meet on this form of media, (there can be some positive aspects to forms of social media after all). Having even a minor hit is quite an accomplishment. A hit is a hit, no matter. Especially during an era of so many talented artists. My congratulations to you on your accomplishments. What always bothered me concerning the music industry is that so many times the quality of one's music gets lost in the politics. Garbage gets the air time because it's all about someone's opinion of its "commercial appeal" and nothing else. Of course when we mention commercial appeal we must include its obscene profitability as a major deciding factor and who that someone may be that can provide the backing. Who says "payola" has been outlawed when it comes to air time? Some songs are heard substantially more often than others during a set period of time and I can't be told otherwise. I don't watch those talent shows. Too many commercials and too much sickening hype. Like you say, if it wasn't for the computer enhancements that are used today, most of today's popular vocalists couldn't, "carry a tune in a bucket", as an old saying goes. It's one thing to enhance the sound of a tune through the use of electronics, but it's totally another to use electronics to repeatedly cover the lack of talent that someone has. On the subject of depressing lyrics, here in the States we have contemporary country music. It's popular for some reason. It is a mix of pop with a nauseating blend of twang. Everybody has either lost their mate, has a mate that wasn't or isn't faithful, or it's about anything else that can't be remedied. All of the artists sound as if they've been sent to school to learn how to speak with a Southern accent. Believe me Robert, if you're not from the South, a Southerner can spot a phony accent in an instant. I'm a Southerner and I'd prefer deafness to listening to this bastardized garbage. I've still got my vinyl from the 60's and 70's and I thank God that some of that good stuff that's been out of print is getting reissued. I very seldom come across a contemporary tune that does anything for me, so I find myself listening to Big Bands, Jazz, Standards, Blues and Classic Rock. I guess I'm living in the past and that's just fine with me. My only wish is to have the ability to play an instrument. Oh well, that's just how it is.. It's been a pleasure and I hope your pit bull buddy doesn't get to hog all of the couch while you try to view Jeremy Kyle. ;-) Take care.

I do !!!!!!!

Me 3 I bet they are worth some money nowadays

I can see how the japanese ripped off the designs

Try Bloody awesome!!!

Lucky!!!!

If you go anywhere now they send an helicopter to find you then YOU have to pay for it! No spare fields anywhere now bloody health and saftey gone barmy !!

They ride well with what they had available

They would whoop my ass 😂😂

we still ride like this out in the country

plus it would be nicked that same night by the parasites who followed you home as you was walking it home lol

I battle this everyday we get kicked out of everywhere!

I'm 60 my generation was the last to ride anywhere we wanted......

Yeah I ride still. Grew up 70s 80s we all ride over fields on bikes. Slammers etc. And 3s up on the roads.. Kids can't do shit anymore. That's why all teenagers ride mopeds on the roads. They never learned to ride geared bikes as kids... So so sad.

Rinoa Super-Genius so many young people have never even heard of On any Sunday or have not seen the original Mad Max that amazes me !

Idiot- 983 i have im 29 ....also i love malcolm smith and steve mcqueen

that's because this was a pathe news item and not made like a Hollywood film ffs

dick liddle good for you young Rider please spread the word. Thanks

Born in the 1950s I think this film feels fantastic. Everything so simple and... human.

They are the works specials that turn into four strokes once underway.

@@xvdd1 Izzat right?.... or are you making a joke? well, it's interesting ... I'll have to google it straightaway, I hadn't heard of this before. But then I hadn't heard of RiBi front end\forks before either, and that was on a dang Greeves. sigh .... what a cool time that was, that big old poster of the newest, meanest, bestest Greeves .. or Bultaco ... Hodaka .... down at SandS BSA HarleyDavidson 'service; repair; foreign and domestic' .... ......

As I child, if i lost a race or dropped my bike, I was whipped. Whipped hard with a electric cord. i still have nightmares about it.

Barry Ervin I smoke and my ac has been removed. We still exist.

Same here, my dad has a 97 Clio with broken AC and he smokes like a chimney

@Barry Ervin How exactly does smoking make you a real man? Makes you a dumb ass drug addict. I got plenty of shit without a/c

@@steve5912 Calm down pal.....it's tongue in cheek.

@@manonamountain Lmao you must be one of those "real men" too.

My family had some Greeves' and they never sounded like that....guess they had to add some sound to the video and the editor didn't think to add the sound of 2-strokes lol
