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.
