Advanced driving in 1963

[Snowy]

Was this the IAM of the 60's? Love the lane discipline and hand signals about a minute in and the views of Newbury, Hungerford, Marlborough, Calne (where its raining) and Bath.

Great vid!

Great vid where you dig that up? The roads will never be that quiet of traffic again. Was that you driving Graeme? :P ;) ;D

You find some fantastic stuff on a BMW bike forum Ken :P ;) At this time my dad worked for Pirelli and had to approve the annual calendar as it was then as it was his budget that paid for it. Do you remember those? - hard life huh? He also got to see all the filming of the tyre ads done at the time including one I have seen since of a certain blonde driving an open top E type Jag. I had a Corgi toy version of the same to go with my Batman car that fired a "real" missile.

[Wes]

Really good find there mate :) especially like the speedo, somewhere between 37 and 44 mph ;D
