That'd be Mulholland Dr in LA. Nice piece of road but heaps of stacks as you can tell. The guy lowsiding the Harley was pretty cool calm and collected.
It's really all about standing around drinking Dave's beer.

Can't watch the video at the moment but if it's the one I know there's patches of slippery black paint exactly where people loose traction. Not surprising really.

Re: No one likes to see bikes being dropped BUT
Have you done any reading? Twist of the Wrist 2 and Sport Riding Techniques should be mandatory for all bike riders to own as far as I'm concerned. If you can put some time into reading, digesting them and putting it into practice your riding will improve greatly.z1gg33 wrote:I thought this would help me ride better or remind me to ride better.

Things like using your:
-eyes
-body
-arms/hands
-throttle
-brakes
If you can't list a few techniques relating to each one, and you don't know how you use each one and the effects it's having on the bike then do some serious learning and practice. I've watched plenty of videos but not one has ever helped like learning something then going out and trying it out.

If I had to pick one video to learn from it'd be this one. Think about how/why did he crash, and what would you do in his situation to head up the road and not where he ended up?

Re: No one likes to see bikes being dropped BUT
its an oldie but a goodie. The guy just panics when he hits the rear brake too hard, target fixates on the wall - and that is exactly what he hit.
Not going too fast at all, just looking in the wrong direction for far too long.
He is also a complete twat who should give up riding and take up trainspotting.
