The first video is gonna give people ADD, it switches frames all the time. I don't get the whole american "keep people watching by obliging their short attention spans and stimulate them endlessly" thing. We're not all bouncing off the wall and need everything DRAMATIC in order to watch.
As for the second video it's better in parts, and obviously the guy's a capable rider, but in some sections still can't stand these videos showing one or two corners at a time or 2 seconds per frame. Motorbike riders are watching this and we want to get an idea of how he rides. Or god forbid get a feel for the road. Some stretches of corners strung together would be nice, get a feeling for when the guy's tipping-in, getting on the gas, how he attacks the road. WTF is 20 shots of a rear tyre for 1 second supposed to do?
Then again someone's gone to some expense and a shit load of effort to film and produce a good motorcycle video while I sat on my ass
Where do I sign for old carn status

Good point about them being allowed on there though. If I was in charge, there would be a ban on heavy vehicles on any windy road where they can't stay in their lane.

This road is one of many within 50 miles of salt lake. Not as long as the dragon tail but every bit as exciting and beautiful, plus there is no traffic or police. It goes to over 10,000 feet elevation at the pass. Cheers!
