Motorcycle Jump

Did anyone catch the terrific motorcycle jump by the Australian fellow Robbie Maddison for New Years Eve?

He is a god!

His distance was just shy of 323 feet. Sixty feet in height. My wife and I watched it and really enjoyed it. After his first jump he says "I'm going again." His second was a little shorter. But not by much. Just terrific.

Here it is. Over twice Evil Knievel's record of 151 ft.

Caught that on the news last night. Not a big fan of this stuff, but even a non follower has to appreciate how incredible that jump was, it was like he was riding a rocket!

Let's see him break 151 on a Harley Road Bike with about 2 inches of suspension.

Evel Knievel was a REAL MAN.

I was talking about that with a co-worker yesterday. Evel got his bikes right off the showroom floor probably. Just plain stock.
