301' Jump on a Motorcycle!

On his 'blog, Alex linked this great classic early 70's clip of Bob Wills at el Mirage dry lake in the Mojave Desert. The record-setting "jump" (or flight) still stands today as the longest glider-aided motorcycle leap.



Some of you may not know that Bob and his brother, Chris were modern hang gliding pioneers, and co-founded Wills Wings in 1973. For those readers who don't regularly check out the Oz Report, here it is again - definitely worth a watch - or two!
