USA Here! Loved my 1964 Norton Atlas ! Those curvy fenders, custom paint by Bill Rail and dropped bars! That was a few years in the early 70s ! At 74 years old I ride a canondale bicycle!
The film was shot on the A20 between Wrotham and Brands Hatch. This part of the A20 was for many years used by bikers for road racing as a result the hill on the other side of Brands Hatch heading towards London was called Death Hill and was only renamed by the local council around 20 years ago.
@@ludo9234That's cool! ludo.. I'm building a flathead harley Davidson in a 70s all souls chopper frame, and wearin goggles from the 50s with a skull cap. live free or die
у нас в России мотоциклетное движение с годами превратилось в самолюбование! каждый хочет казаться крутым.. покупают себе дорогие мотоциклы, а в голове и душе ничего байкерского нет..
Always still amazes me what my dad and sisters were riding in England and what my Mum was riding here in Australia before they got married compared to the monsters like the Kawasaki Z1 and Z1300 I was riding in the late 70s and early 80s.
Great to see these guys getting the breeze on their knees. In the States, many of us wanted either a Triumph, Norton, or BSA. No Vincent’s or really any other classic Brit bikes in the middle of the country, before the Japanese invasion. Still love them as much as Harley’s and other American brands, if not more. Someday the TT trip will happen.
Those of us that came up in or near that era marvel at the fact that what was done could be done with the tires as hard and narrow as they were and of such poor compound and grip, or with what we knew as "brakes" which were substandard when when you upgraded them. The only period British sport bike that had a decent front brake was the late-period BSA Gold Star. Properly set up, it was moderately good. The rest, until the late 60s, were abominable.
My dad was a ton up boy he had a couple of bikes over the years a Ariel square 4 .a bsa and a triumph Tiger when my eldest sister was born he put a sidecar on the tiger I was born 1959
Great days I was rokker early 60s had so much fun roads loverly and quiet at night road Nortons and Velos girl friend then now my wife still ride .now Suzuki SV650😂
yo como también otros compañeros en el tiempo loco de la juventud fui uno de esos corredores de la muerte corriendo cuarto de millas en calles aledañas a la ciudad perseguidos por la vigilancia policial o en motocross siempre de la mano de la motocicleta bien afinada de la chica acompañante la que en cada ocasión contábamos con una novia nueva en un desafío contante con el peligro lo que provocó la muerte de algunos de nuestros compañeros de distintos bandos hoy hace 11 días que mantuvimos una reunión con algunos de esos viejos compañeros de la juventud en Valladolid españa
I’m amazed nobody’s got a channel who can mimic the voice of the pathe news reporters and gone around the cities. And I thought of it first. But I can’t imitate a classic 50s private school voice. 🇬🇧🎤
Those three lane roads! Centre lane was for overtaking in either direction, ffs!! There was still one from Livingston to Bathgate when I was a young biker in the 70's. They used to say one lane for going, one for coming back, and one for getting killed in.
Сначала подумал что прут по "встречке",😁 но потом "дошло" это Великобритания...😄😄😄 At first I thought that they were driving in the opposite lane, but then I realized that this is most likely the United Kingdom...😄😄😄
You'd have to be really dumb to ride a bike anywhere without eye protection. Do you really want dust and larger particles to hit your eyeballs at 50/60/70 miles per hour?
Oh yes it has! Car ownership has increased by 20 times. I can't breathe and sleep thanks to cars and the noise they make!! I was born in the wrong era!
@@iseegoodandbad6758 Agree mate, plus none of these cars are actually payed for haha, I was brought up to work hard save up then buy your car or bike,..
This are real man's motorcycles, cafe racers never gets old

I was one of these. Great times.
+Tony Pitcher Which one was you?

... some eye wear.......NOT lots.
Looks like you blokes were having a ball!!
Born in 1951. My uncle was though n I got pillion as I grew a bit lol
British and American bikers back then look so much cooler than American and British bikers do now. now they all ride what look like sports shoes..
Count me out i ride a 1961 AJS all year round. And i still use a pudding basin helmet and goggles.

1961 Zündapp supercombinette here!
@@Mister_Fancypants that's awsome man.. they are beautiful bikes...
I found my father's helmet and boots and a camera.which he used to ride on R.E bullet those days.
Brilliant clear historical footage of bikes and road scenes from the late 50s
Genuine ton up boys on genuine cafè racers!!
I sold my 62 Golden Flash 10 years ago and still miss it :(
But now you are millionair, I reckon.
Love those drop bars.
Pretty treacherous if you're not used to them.
@@eckyx9019 I remember the first time riding bike with drop bar. After 120km of riding my arms just gave up. Never ride cafe racer after that

Tourist Trophy...make sure you get it done before you cannot...it is awesome geez👉🇬🇧👈
Get to the TT.. you won't regret it..👍☘️🇮🇪
I was not even born then but Rock'n'roll,brittish bikes and booze were my live up till now.
This film cannot be any older than 1959, because a Mini is shown going by near the beginning.
Great Video, On every weekend we ride on our Enfield Interceptor 650. And it's really fun.
just rode 3,461 km travelling and camping out on my 1967 Triumph Daytona...relatable.

1:37 Ah yes, 3-lane roads. Glad to see the back of them!
Very nice bit of film, better with sound though
@Jack Warner indeed. Just that many many Pathé films are narrated and it's slightly odd to find one that isn't
My dad was a ton up boy he had a couple of bikes over the years a Ariel square 4 .a bsa and a triumph Tiger when my eldest sister was born he put a sidecar on the tiger I was born 1959
I bet the dude on the BSA with no helmet or goggles had a sore eyes after a short distance .... good bit of film though
Not worth putting them on ..... he'll be stopped and fixing it in a few minutes?
@@whitefields5595 Thats why they were cald BSA. Bugger's stopped again.
Sore eye or worse. So many things can hurt they eyes
The bike were so much quieter then 😴😴😴 only joking , great bikes , great times .
😂😂😂😂 That was a good one! Bravo 😂😂😂😂
Tony, were you in the video?What a great piece of time captured on film!
I had a Norton 850cc, great bike, better then rubbish we have now days.
Greasers live forever
It gets in your blood doesn't it. Keep your chrome clean mate!
I used to ride a motorcycle in my past life
The VW vans in this film suggest it was shot in the late 60s.
Great days I was rokker early 60s had so much fun roads loverly and quiet at night road Nortons and Velos girl friend then now my wife still ride .now Suzuki SV650😂

That shot of the drum brake made me laugh...mine were hopeless when it rained
The right heel of my boots were my best brake when riding my old ariel arrow.

No mirror bikes...? Amazing !!
Born in the 60s and still one of those with a Hayabusa. 😊👍
You're only young once stay young as long as possible
Great sound!
Where did you got this footage
Coolness overload
La liberté..
Capacete é muito importante.
No helmet, no problem but no goggles? Bumblebee in to eye 100 mph, sure hurt. Oh, I get it! You have another one.
Never happened, and I was there on my ‘58 Tiger Ton and Dresda Triton. Did get an angry wasp down my shirt once, though. It wasn’t much fun.
So that's what kids today are so worried about, huh ? 🙄
No sound ?
Where is the sound geez!
Brilliant days
São motos Honda ?
Dream times....
Nortonのジャケット着てたらかっこいいね。
No Sound?🤔

There was still one from Livingston to Bathgate when I was a young biker in the 70's.
They used to say one lane for going, one for coming back, and one for getting killed in.
No audio
Enfield? Triumph? bsa? norton?
Who stole the audio?
TON UP ROCKERS
Muy bueno 👍
Une belle DS Citroën en début de vidéo ✌😸
I know you really can't see me but I was one of the last ones on that line But it was a very long time ago
No 1 steel bikes and now plastic
Those young men are so old mow
Nice, but not the 50s at all. Not even the early 60s. Late 60s.
No mirrors on these bikes !!
Bons tempos
The roads of the 1950s is much better to India's road in 2021
