Even Harley's lowside on Mulholland Drive.

[auntiebling]

Needed a steel shoe, and a little more throttle. Kick out the rear and set up for a proper high side

After seeing the videos of Mulholland Drive I have no desire to go their.

much like the nice roads around here, it's nice if you can get to it on a week day.

weekend: no thanks, i'll cruise el camino. it's safer

I've considered hanging out there with a truck and offering folks cash money for their crashed bikes.

Most mods on streetbikes are pointless. What do we change? Turn signals, exhaust, fender eliminators, mirrors, windscreens, maybe add some "sponsor decals" and "race numbers"? Yeah.

I don't put any of that bullcrap on my bike

He didn't give up. His foot got too much grip when he tried to "slide" it & that upset the suspension. That sent him down.

I thought it was just a sudden change in camber that caught the undercarriage. Anyway, the point of what I was saying is that if you are scraping you might wanna let up. It's Mulholland, not a racetrack

So true, after I retired I find my self riding on weekdays and staying home on the weekends.

You can tell he is staring at the outside (dirt) of the turn for the last few seconds.

Alright, he smashed up his Harley but he walked away from the wreckage like a BOSS.

+1

 

[Sharky]

Least he kept with it. Not like that noob on the snake that stood it up and drove straight into a Vette. Plus the guy crashed like a BOSS!

 

[TimDC2x]

Agree, unlike 99% of the sportbikes that crash up there, at least the dude didnt give up on the turn lol.

First time I've ever seen a saddlebag lever up the front tire.

Keep your reason out of this thread. Harleys suck.

 

[FreeRyde]

I've ridden my buddies big ass VTX1800 like that. Shit scrapes, scrape it harder!

Screw it!

 

[Brown81]

He did try to stick with it. And, he did crash like a boss!

Man, I bet his foot is really fucked up and I'll bet he feels it.

Birds of a feather, you and me.

 

[gnstalodz]

and this is why I love my fxdx

 

[Lionel Cosgrove]

looked like too much throttle in contrast to his lean angle....only so much traction in those tires!

 

[sanjuro]

More proof ATGATT is bullshit.

 

[250gpracer]

he walked away from it like a boss...no doubt about that...

but after the adrenaline wears off...especially the next morning- he'll be sore as fuck & likely has a rashed up knee/leg & palms.

What "we", kimosabe? You somehow missed the important bits, like fork mods, rear shock swaps, brake pad upgrades, brake line upgrades and so on. :|

 

[Cafe Racer]

He did walk away like a boss,i just watched a few youtube vids of crashes where is Mulholland Drive so i know to stay away from it

Its in the Santa Monica Mountains. Dont worry, you wont accidentally "be there".

Otherwise, its a great area to ride. I make a trip there annually in May or June just to ride the Hills above Malibu! It is a great time. Anyone interested next year?
