FVM- I think I know where that jump is, just south of Kenosha?? Until 5 years ago, the road leading to the prison I work in was the untimate jump ramp. I would hit that thing doing about 40 mph every day with my CB900C (naked) and get some really nice air.
One day when I was coming to work, they were blocking the road for a 2 month long construction project to replace the bridge. I asked the guy putting up the signs if I could jump it one more time. He wanted to watch so we moved the saw horses on each end and I decided to really hit it fast, way too fast actually. I looked at the speedo just before I hit the ramp and saw that I was doing about 75 mph and darned near crapped myself. I flew almost across the bridge and thought that i was about to die. Looking back, I gusee I forgot how fast a 900 Honda could accelerate. One of the dumber things I have ever done on a bike.
(The construction guy could not believe how far I flew.)
