If the exit vehicle button doesn't show up for you, you can run /script VehicleExit() from the chat window.
Go to the small mountain drawn on the map at around 33,15.
Target a Cloudrider and use the item that you have been given along with the quest to jump on the serpent's back. Once there, start dpsing it down. When it reaches low enough health, it will transform.
Target another nearby serpent while you're still on the other's back, and use your Bronze Claws once again to jump from serpent to serpent. Continue this until you're done.
After saving all 8, exit the last serpent and you will be dropped to the ground without harm.

Description
Shan Bu, the leader of the Shan'ze, is performing some kind of dark ritual at the summit of the island to the northwest. We believe that the subjugated Shan'ze Cloudrunners are powering the spell. How, we still do not know. We believe that the Shan'ze Cloudrunners can still be saved from the corruption that taints them. Take these bronze claws. Use them to mount the back of a Shan'ze Cloudrunner. Attack them. Beat some sense back into their heads!
