5. Thought he did Lombard St

At about 5:00, going up the hill. Could be wrong

9. It wasn't Lombard --

but the real crookedest street in SF, which is a small section of Vermont Street on Potrero Hill.

3. The empty streets remind me a bit of Omega Man or the illegal race in Paris(1976)

4. What's the big sliver gear shifter?

He seems to also use a standard one that's black.

6. If I'm not mistaken, that's a brake lever

It's used to lock up the rear tires so he can induce the power slide he uses around most turns. It allows for faster speeds through the turns (if you do it right), although it eats tires like candy.

8. thanks

7. impressive...
