Mulholland Drive, Los Angeles (Video)

Mulholland Dr. is one of the famous places in the Los Angeles.
This is the my first time bike-riding and the first time visiting the place.
I have never been there until today. ha ha ha
When I pass near the road, I recalled a motorcycle article about the road.
So, I made mind to try it as I had some time to spend today.

The road is pretty narrow and curvy.
And road is in the residential area, so no speedy nor fun; lots of traffic.
More, there were unexpected strong wind at the top of the hills...whew....
You may see what happened on my bike by the wind at the end of the video.

Anyway, unplanned riding but very pleasant time except.....^^;

Here is the photo/video clip to share with you.

Thanks

Ouch !! Was there any damage or were you lucky ?? Wind can be nasty to deal with and there is no hiding from it either.

Hi, Mr. WW.
No damage at all...... couldn't believe it.
Only damge is my pvc camera mounting, ha ha ha.
That blocked bike contacts to the ground.
Lucky for me.
Aha, another, my helmet was blown out to the under the valley and visor was broken.
First, I thought that helmet is gone at the bottom of the valley and gave up.
But the witness told me where the my helmet could be.
And found it just few feet down from the road and small trees hold it... I dare to went down and picked it up. >> adventure riding ha ha ha
I may use glue or duct tape for a while??? ha ha ha.
Need a new helmet anyway.

Now that's a fresh breeze! I'm glad your damage wasn't any worse.

Great views, by the way.

Do you ever shoot videos of you actually riding? I'd be interested to see some.

Hi, Mr. Bill.
Nope, that's another lucky.
I had NOT mounted the camera that day.. ha ha ha
And there might be not much riding video for a some time, as I changed to PHOTO MODE for the my joy riding.
I found that if I do videoing when riding, I usually pass/miss some good moments around the road.
And the weather gets better, so that I could stop more and enjoy some sceneries..

Anyway, thanks for the comments.
