These are very old videos, it is a compilation. Guys are doing this every day in the week up there. Perfectly routine. No one got hurt seriously in any of the incidents, not even the cyclist.

I'm sure you're right in that guys are doing this with regularity and I hope you're right that everyone involved in these particular crashes wasn't seriously injured. The fact that the cyclist (or many of the others) didn't get seriously hurt is pure luck. You don't have to try hard to find reports about motorcycle fatalities on roads like Mulholland. If you want to take the position that it's no big deal, you're entitled to do so. I just see it differently.

I am not responsible for the way those people ride. I ride fast on a racetrack, where it belongs, which is exactly what the OP stated.

Thanks for the clarification, ulvetanna, because I inferred the same thing as MG from your original statement.

No worries, it's the Web, easy to misinterpret things.

Here's the place that draws that crowd. The turn in question is about a mile or so east of this joint. One can readily apprehend that a fair number of injudicious riders are attracted to this area. Hundreds of miles of extraordinary roads but 90 percent of the traffic is on that one mile stretch, because there's an audience. Yes, Leno, Arnold, Stallone, Keanu, and many others are regulars.

Richard (Rick) Savko was once an Air Force Thunderbird.

Loving that 60th Anniversary R1 in the video preview. One of those may very well be my next bike purchase.

My only comment on the videos, was it really worth it? Ever buy plastic parts? Leave the knee dragging to the professional race riders on a race track.
