Talented Harley riding
If you're impatient the fun starts right around 25 seconds.
Talented! And some other words. I'll go ahead and let you say them.

That's The Snake from just east of Kanan down to Rock Store, about 10 minutes from my house. It's probably the most patrolled two miles of road in the country. Hard to believe they got that far without a ticket.
BTW...it's not if that Harley rider hits that tarmac...it's just when and how bad.

No doubt a very skilled rider, the best I've seen on a Harley. He probably knows that road really, really well, too. Sooner or later he's going to be going a few miles too fast and scrape the road too much and lose it (like he almost did) or run wide, and with no gear he's going to have a bad case of road rash or worse, maybe even a dirt nap. The guy behind him with the video camera is likely to go down as well if he's following that close. Plenty of stupid here.

Man, just at 1:28 he cuts it insanely close with the hillside on the inside of the turn... well under a foot between his helmet and a lot of immovable rock. Yikes.

He knows the road and he knows his bike. It's unusual to see a Harley riden like that but the shredding is an everyday thing on Mulholland.

He's got skills but doing that without wearing a leather jacket is just plain stupid.

Funny seeing those hi-rise handlebars but he is hanging off the side. He seems to know his grip limit pretty well. But seriously, get the gear and get a sport bike if thats what you want to be good at.

The bike is not made for that. Clearly he's holding up the guy with the camera who could likely do that ride much faster. A 76 Pinto would be fish tailing all over the place to maintain 30 mph. My point is that that moron is way over riding that bike to take those curves at average speed for an entry level sport bike, risking his skin for some "ape hangers".
I'm sure he's a good rider, just don't understand why he's driving a nail with a screw driver.

At least I didn't see him cross the center line. He does need some gear though. Playing slip-n-slide on the asphalt is no fun in a t-shirt.

The stunters have discovered that they can make more money working the rally/HD/ cruiser type events if they are on a HD.
Good looks and boobs are helpful marketing tools. DUH.
