Here's another record breaker. This Ausie (Jack Walker) apparently broke the long jump record at 157 feet ... on an XR1200 of all things!

My ass hurts just thinking about it.  Huh?

I think we have a picture of this bike floating around here someplace. I'll see if I can track it down.





Ah...that didn't take long. The guy in this pic is Seth Enslow (bike's designer), who is referred to in the article, as well.

That's awesome. Good to see they upgraded the suspension. No way that could be done with a stock bike. I don't know how old Evil did it way back when (on a Harley, too!)
