    ARGH! The thing that should not be...

    But hey, you can jump a semi quite easily - as with all things airborne it's the landing that is the tricky bit.
    It is preferential to refrain from the utilisation of grandiose verbiage in the circumstance that your intellectualisation can be expressed using comparatively simplistic lexicological entities. (...such as the word fuck.)

    Fuck a duck!!! That's gunna be a real hard landing
    To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and to endure the betrayal of false friends. To appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; to know that even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded

    A few years ago the Grand Challenge included a night transit across Fields Track (a small farm track that turns off in the middle of the Paraparas).

    If you've ever taken this road then you'll know the road's condition is pretty poor. But that didn't stop two Goldwings from overtaking me and hauling off at great speed.

    They're capable bikes in the right hands.

    I recall video of a group of individuals (who shall remain nameless) aboard Valkries (sp) off road - full paniers and everything!

    Remember when Riverstone Terraces previously Craigs Flat was not full of houses and paved roads......lol! Best piece of footage I ever saw!

    It should be easy to get it in the air.......landing ....now that will take skill. Me I'd jump off!

    mind you it may well come with a air slide out the side like the aeroplanes.

    mikkel i think we need a vector diagram

    the force of landing must surely be equal and opposite to the force of taking off?

    as in if it can get airborne then it can get unairborne.

    OR

    the force on the bike preflight must be equal to the force on the bike post flight?

    therefore i conclude that landing it can only be as dangerous as launching it, the rider has launched it so it follows that the rider can land it.
