: I was looking at the footage of both Evel's 13
: bus jump in Wembley and the 14 bus jump in
: Ohio..and I think that the 13 bus jump at
: Wembley might have actually been longer.I
: remember Evel saying "when we got over
: to England the buses were wider" than
: buses in America.After careful viewing of
: both jumps I do think the Wembley jump was
: longer,even though it was 13 buses.I also
: think that if Evel would have had a I think
: its called a kicker,he might have made the
: 13 bus jump.If you watch the footage he
: bottoms out that Harley's suspension on take
: off...and I think it might have cost him a
: couple of valuable feet.It seem to really
: tork his bike..The 14 bus jump he does have
: somewhat of a kicker or at least he had a
: smoother take off,do to the built up longer
: take off ramp.He was tilted way back during
: the fight but it still was a smoother take
: off.I think his jumping form was better on
: the England jump.Anybody want add there take
: on this. Also I love seeing Robbie clean
: AND SOBER...WAY TO GO ROBBIE.
