Ghost Rider jumped a Buell 300 feet over 5 helicopters. Gotta love the movies. |

I caught air at 35 with a hard landing and lost both head neck bearings. Granted I was on an XB and not a flamed Tuber.... |

That type of performance is typical for an X1. |

My long ride home has a nice railroad crossing that is perfect for catching air. Fun, fun, fun, fun. I'd not do it on the Cyclone, but the Uly just eats it up. Same for climbing up the bridge embankment shortcut. Not off road they say? |

I had a friend with an XR-650 that was about 4 feet in the air after going off a rail road track crossing here in Cincinnati... He was airborne when he saw the cop. Last he heard, he was headed for court to try and get it backed down from reckless operation, as he was going to claim that he could do that 1000 times and never be at any loss of control. Don't know how that worked out, but I can guess, and suspect it came down to if the judge had a dirt bike when he was a kid or not |

I don't think that defense angle is going to help him at all. He's just digging the hole deeper more than likely. He might do a bit better letting a lawyer handle court. |
