Evil Knievel on a Boss Hoss

[Grand Canard]

I think we should bring back the thrill of flying cast iron but this time on a Boss Hoss.
Would a free Boss Hoss for the spectacle plus whatever money raised at the gate plus TV ppv be enough for somebody to take the dare??

Crazy Rick ?

Going to need to do a LITTLE suspension work to survive the landing ...

Just out of interest, how big a jump are you looking for. The London buses or the Grand Canyon ?

whatever the current car jump record is plus one car to break the record.

You might be able to get Chevrolet to split the costs. Talk to Robby Knivel, he is still trying to walk in his dads footsteps. I could probably do a jump in a hospital gown over a determined amount of pill bottles in front of a rest home with the other old senior inhabitants cheering in the back round, a banner could read "STAY YOUNG RIDE A BOSS" but most likely not exactly the vision you had in mind.

Google says that the current record is 22 cars, if I read it correctly

Don't get any crazy ideas in your head Ricky. We need you right where you are right now, LOL !

It took 95mph to get that lightweight Harley Sportster to go 184 feet. Not sure I would be lucky enough to stick a 150mph landing on a 1250lb Boss ... But I drive like a Girl so .....

Do the jump on a trike with the web belt rebound straps. Should be like an angel landing on a cloud

[petitemoose]

Wonder if a Trike would be classified as a Motorcycle. Probably not because of that third wheel ...

Even an LS3 Bike is 1,000 plus lbs....that will be one hell of a landing even for Robby...

Extended rear shocks..with 2 or 3 inches more travel maybe....special forks with 6 to 7 inches of travel....

AND...A button labelled 'EJECT" when ready to land and you think all hell can and will break loose upon hitting the ground...

A trike is NOT an option even though they ride smoother than a bike..now you are landing 1,450 lbs

AND...why the hell are you dreaming this shit up Ricky?? LOL..the advertising would be really really good...maybe just a different idea with a Boss Hoss...go after some kind of World record for Guinness maybe?? Speed record on a cruiser??? Salt flats??
