Dric902 Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 It always worked for James Bond. Maybe an Aston Martin would have made it 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cougar_ml Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 "traveled approximately 337 feet"... approximately? Can't they figure it out any closer than the nearest foot? 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huaco Kid Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 If I were on a motorcycle (especially this motorcycle), I'd hit it, and git it. On a motorcycle, tapping either the front or back brake, or playing the throttle, makes you fly right. And the gyro is on your side. And the shocks can handle a landing. With a car, I dunno, you just fly. For a bit. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
