I used to like to jump the railway tracks in downtown Edmonton, in the 80's they used to be elevated 2-3 feet above the level of the road surface. When they ran across a street, they just paved a nice little jump in the road up to cross the rails. In the middle of the night, there was no traffic, just hookers and drug dealers on the sidewalks. I would ride downtown all night alot. And jump my RD-350LC over the railway humps. One night, I landed off one hump and snapped the front-end off at the headtube. It sucked. I wouldn't recomend it.
When you jumped those tracks, did that general lee horn go off and youd freeze in mid air with an announcer going "that Buzzz better grow some wings"

YeeeeeeeHAW!

Nope.

But The theme from Hockey Night in Canada would play while Don Cherry made some comment about how not jumping a streetbike was for poncy Euros...... :laughing:

That sounds about right. When is that FJ gonna FLY?
Of course I'm generalizing from a single example here, but everyone does that. At least I do.
