"Mulholland Race Course?" Seriously? Someone calls it that? Its a public road and heavily patrolled by the police. I ride it frequently on my Ducati going to the Rock Store and other local bars. It is not a race course by any stretch of the imagination and usually its so crowded with wankers who have no clue what they are doing you're rarely going faster then 40 mph.

This is typical:

Yes, it's been called a race course or more frequently the "Mulholland raceway." It's been that way for decades.

By the way- what is the posted Speed Limit on that stretch of the road?

There is a bit of info here: What happened to the Mulholland "King of the Hill" RSR? - Pelican Parts Technical BBS about the street racing scene on Mulholland. I have not heard anything about "racing" there in a long time. The mystique associated with Mulholland seems to be more about the street racing scene that the road itself.

Mulholland follows the ridge between Holloywood and the San Fernando Valley. There are numerous views of the city, primarily looking north into the San Fernando Valley. Driving can be fun, both for sightseeing and brisk speeds (traffic permitting) but is rather short.

To be fair, John, they used to actually have street races right there on the weekends. I don't know if you were ever there at the Rock Store in the 80's. They would hold traffic coming down, two bikes would line up and they would race to the viewsite where the camera was in that Harley video up on top. Wagers, the whole thing. My brother used to take me and we'd watch for a couple hours. Now it's just yuppies on parade. Go back at 3 AM and the cops are gone, BTW. That's when the real stupidity happens, and I say that as a guy who rolled a car off Decker about 1/2 mile from there at 3 AM.
