Commenting on his decision, Robbie said: “I’m never jumped a Harley-Davidson before and I’m ten years older than my dad was when he retired.”
He added that he has always dreamed of emulating his father by attempting the jump that ended the legendary daredevil’s career.
Meanwhile, someone who may need to consider upgrading their motorbike insurance is television presenter Richard Hammond.
The Top Gear star has been given a new motorbike for his 40th birthday by wife Mindy, the Sun reports, meaning he now has a collection of six bikes, together with 18 cars.
Robbie has successfully completed more than 350 professional jumps, including 20 world records. He plans to attempt a 16 bus jump compared to the 13 bus jump of his father. Robbie says “Daredevils are a dying breed. I’m proud to have been raised by one and to be one myself.”
The death-defying stunt is scheduled to take place in London at Wembley Stadium on June 12, some 35 years after his father’s attempt.
