How not to corner ever

Looks like fairly standard street riding by guys that are comfortable with riding at 100+ on a windy road. I've seen much worse. You can tell they are very familiar with the route. At one point the lead rider goes left over the double yellow before cutting into the right hander. Unfortunately he was unable to hold his line and crossed left over the double yellow again.

I'm not sure of their sight lines, but I would not like to be riding my road bike in the middle of one of those right handers as they came by with their bars 12" from the armco. That could be it for both of us.

Glad to notice who doesnt think riding like this is a problem, please anyone who thinks this is appropriate riding, post up so I can make sure we don't ride together ;)

I don't want to have to clean up any messes

I shoot a lot of video and I could not see his speed clearly. But just the video alone I'd say that was KPH not MPH. These riders need to spend $20 on a Keith Code book :2cents

That was my first impresion too. But looking more closely, they appear to be slowing to 60 or so for the 30mph warning signs and 80 for the 40s.

For info that's San Gabriel Canyon Rd, SR-39, starting about here (34.1641, -117.8945) and heading north to East Fork Road. It's pretty fast and just a few miles from Glendora Ridge Road, the subject of another recent video.

That's a great piece of road! :drool
Lead rider blew quite a few Double yellows mid corner. At those speeds a tough lesson is coming.
