Default The Snake...Mulholland Hwy Video Clips

While I was out riding by the Rock Store up to "The Snake", I saw this company filming passerbyers. So I went on their website this morning and saw this video clip they put together of various bikes and sports cars. Some pretty cool cars and bikes.

The one thing I notice is the style of riding between the cruisers and the crotch rockets. I'm sure you'll notice the difference too

For those who might not know about the The Snake, I'm assuming its like what the Dragon is back east. I've never been to the Dragon, but I figure its the same concept.

Thought I'd share in case anyone was interested in taking a ride out there.

In the video, pay attention to the IDIOT on a crotchrocket who passes another rocket. Oh, and the cop car flipped over...I've seen alot of crashes up there. You know it gets pretty bad when cops are flipping their cars over. Oh and the guy who's had his OL riding cowgirl.

Here's the link...

Oh and check out the 'motorsports' tab and watch the small video of the snake on board a Honda f4. I thought it was pretty cool.

Tackled the Snake many times when I had a Yamaha R1. It's a much more visceral experience aboard a crotch rocket but that doesn't always make it more enjoyable as evidenced by the squids on video.

guessing you guys mean his link and not mine... tested mine and its fine.

rode the snake with a HOG group. first time i have ever seen heavy metal throwing sparks!!

on the way there (with the group) we were slower than on the way home- cause on the way home i left without the group. got good at throwing the bike around (side to side) and lotsa fun!
