Today in motorcycle history, December 31, 2007


  

  







  Evel.  Maddo. Trigger.  Caesars Palace.  Rio.  Buffalo Run.  What's in a name?




  On the 40th anniversary of Evel Knievel's historic crash...uh...I mean jump at the fountains at Caesars Palace in fabulous Las Vegas, Nevada, Australian stunt rider Robbie "Maddo" Maddison, jumps more than the distance of an NFL football field.


  At the Rio Hotel and Casino (Las Vegas) Robbie Maddison leaps a world-record 322 feet, seven inches obliterating the previous Guinness World Record of 277 feet by Trigger Gumm.
