Smooth. More points would be given if he'd done it on a Street Bob or something though. Laughing

Can you imagine the carnage upon landing if it was an Electra Glide...? Laughing

On the second record jump, Enslow said the impact of the landing caused his groin to hit the bike and crack the paintwork.

"My balls hit right about here, you can see the crack in the paint, balls of steel."

Watched the vid, no sound, but that looks like a Harley engine in a modded frame. So technically, is that not as much a Buell as it is an HD?

Its an XR1200 flat tracker. It is a Harley, not a Buell and a production one at that. Its just not a road bike.

Harley have an XR1200 road bike, but its different. That is a Harley factory racer, if such a thing exists.

Remember kids, bikes aren't like lego. You can't easily take a part from one bike and then fit it to another.

Enslow said the bike he used was a Harley with only a few modifications: "We put dirt bike suspension on it, different handlebars, and that's about it," he told reporters in Sydney.

What next, the longest jump on a Honda C50? In a Toyota Prius? On a disability scooter?

That ramp looked dangerously close to that rock face, slight angle on landing and he would of melted himself on that wall.
