There's a green 250 in the mix...

Wow these guys are crazy! Is this a public road? o.0

zilaniz · September 1st, 2011, 05:23 PM

Yeah its public, I would be a bit nervous riding on it especially during the weekend in worry of someone taking me out.

I have been reading about Mulholand drive for 40 years. And it goes back further than that.

choneofakind · September 1st, 2011, 06:31 PM

a lot of those guys who are dragging knee could use a lot of help on their positioning. they hang off and drop the knee, but they keep their heads up and centered. It should be waaaay off over the handlebars...

AznJoJo · September 1st, 2011, 06:32 PM

Oh I see. These guys are fast. Looks like a lot of fun, but I'd be too afraid to fall. I'll stick to city streets

twisties are where its AT on a 250 though! gotta ride them

Ride that road quite a bit.
It's one of the more bumpy roads in SoCal and to be honest, very short.
ACH and GMR are much funner and longer.

I think there's just more famous people riding around the snake.
They do magazine and video shoots there all the time too.
You know.. Malibu and all..

and yes you are correct. 75% of the people you see go by cornering their bikes are not positioned correctly.

Here I am mullholland on my last GSXR Alstare.

Smooth as a babies' behind in that photo, I remember it clearly. 8am on a hot steamy Saturday morning. I think it was the 4th of July last year. Way too much fun.
Used to live right near it.

Some of the guys in the video had body positioning problems as mentioned. I also noticed some poor line choices and poor throttle control/roll-ons. Otherwise it wasn't to painful to watch.

Xoulrath · September 1st, 2011, 09:04 PM

Oh my god! I'm gonna have to buy an R1 just for that sound! It's so unmistakable.

choneofakind · September 1st, 2011, 09:21 PM

how do they get that sound? it's an inline 4 right? do they just change the firing pattern or something?

Xoulrath · September 1st, 2011, 09:29 PM

Yeah, it's a firing order thing.

Link to original page on YouTube.

I just linked to the first one that popped up. Check 'em out and I'm sure there is a good one there.

Here's a link. I'm going to bed and I have had trouble embedding in the past. I think it may be some settings on my PC. I'm not gonna bother with it right now.

They've repaved most of Mulholland as of last month. ACH has more than its share of squidlies. AND more LEOs.
