What the hell was that on the road, water? It acted like oil

HurricaneHeather 10-15-2011 06:55 PM

Are there really people standing in that exact spot just waiting for a bike to eat it?

derf 10-15-2011 07:22 PM

Naw there is a photographer taking pictures, and its just a great spot to pull over and hang out.

I love cars who try to pass each other in turns.......Lots of WRX club idiots do that

I'm betting it's antifreeze from someone who went down in that spot sometime earlier

Whatever it is, it doesnt seem like anyone is trying to warn riders coming through. Just keeping the camera ready to catch the wreck that might happen.

If you go to the youtube page, the description says this:

Motorcycle rider near crash clips I've collected over the last couple years
I don't think it was rad fluid or water or any other fluids on the road, just tons of footage and a few lucky shots

It's easy to spin the rear and highside if you roll on the throttle at the same time as you're trying to get back on the seat after hanging off like a monkey for the photographer.

That makes more sense. I guess just one clip after another from the same turn made it seem like they were all happening on the same day.

That turn always has wrecks. A lot of youtube vids of that turn.

Ah. That makes sense. It also looks like there's water or something running across the road in several of the shots which got me wondering as well.

yup. bet it's a slick spot. there;s a change in concrete color.

this same corner is in so many videos. both cars and bikes eat it there consistently, and everyone sits there waiting and watching for it. I think it's out in cali. The car vids are better, because they flip and and go into the rails. More comical and less brutal than watching bikers eat it.

I think it is Mulholland Drive. Looks like a sweet road.
