Hope you can open the link.
US motorcyclist Seth Enslow has broken the world record for the longest distance jumped on a Harley-Davidson motorcycle, despite a painful landing.
Seth Enslow broke the 10-year-old record twice when sailing through the air near Australia’s Sydney Harbour with a 183.7ft leap.
His furthest jump was recorded at 183.7ft (56m) on his Harley-Davidson XR1200 shortly after a 175 foot (53.34 meters) jump.
“This is awesome! I’m stoked!” Enslow said after entering the record books.
He appeared to be in pain after the jump, but members of his stunt team said he was fine.
“We’ve worked hard at creating history and we’re all glad he landed it safely,” Harley-Davidson spokesman Adrian O’Donoughue said.
Bubba Blackwell, another American stuntman, set the previous record with a 157 foot (47.85 meters) jump in Las Vegas in 1999. He broke the record set by Evel Knievel in 1975, which he held for 24 years.
Enslow’s jump is not a Guinness World Record as Guinness has no category for specific motorcycles, but it still stands as a world record.

That's a great jump for a Harley. However, I believe Robbie Maddison
set the all time record for a "motorcycle" of 345' on a Honda CR500 in
Melbourne, Australia, in March of last year. I could be wrong though.
