Rather him than me. Wonder what his life insurance premium is

I think he is covered by Harley's warranty.... Might get down to see this. Saw Eddie Kidd set a record at Crayford in my youth (and even earlier saw Sammie Miller riding over a load of car roofs at Beaulieu but can't remember if he was setting a record or not).

Got a feeling folk have jumped far further than 16 buses. Probably not on a Harley tho

I jumped a petrol queue once.... I think Robbie is just trying to better his dad's record (and probably needs a pension!)

The longest jump on a bike was by Robbie Maddison with an incredible 322 ft 7and a half inches.

Why is it men always have to add the 1/2 inch

Men do it to play with womens minds, and looking at that last post its seems to work.

Remember a slack half inch in the middle and its all over.

Sounds like he has lived most of his life living up to what his dad did, trying to always do 1 better. Good luck to the man though, I hope it goes better for him than it did for his dad
