You're liable to hit the ceiling of the garage gunning up that driveway.

Those are not driveways, they are jump ramps.

Default highway bars

get some highway bars aka crash bars, if you do drop it on the hill, drop it the easy way, if you go down on the hard side, and you cannot get the bike back on the wheels, spin the bike on the bars untill you get on the easy side. That being said practice practice practice and don`t drop the bike.

That's why the cars are parked on the road...only trucks and bikes allowed. Actually, I think even the bike will bottom out. The dealership built a ramp and the bigger bikes were bottoming out and don't think the grade was that steep.

Who the heck planned that development....trying to save money on better grading. Perhaps there is a river behind those trees and the road is used for overflow lol.

That's got to be photoshopped, for one I can't see that being within code of any municipality in North America and for second I'm not sure you can even pour concrete on that angle without special equipment.
