Nicely done.

Doug Danger is a pretty cool name as well...lol.

My buddy has a dog named Doug.

Was it Evil or Robbie that did a jump at a Vegas Hotel or somewhere like that and crashed really bad...I remember watching that one. He had to land on the ramp, and then go into an underground parking garage....it didn't end well.

Ooops...nope...I wasn't around in 1967...lol.

I had to do some Google searching....it was a different guy:

He was supposed to land and carry on into the underground parking area...

I think this is the one I was thinking of. YEEOUCH!

I wonder what Evel would have done with a modern bike that weighed half as much with four times the power?

I'm sure it wasn't half the weight but it had plenty of power:
