" Here’s the twist: Pastrana won’t be performing the stunts on a dirt bike, he’ll attempt the jumps on an Indian Scout FTR750. Pastrana wants to jump a motorcycle that was similar to the ones Evel used. "
He must of saw your Indian motorcycle thread , and decided to join the club.
Side note : Travis is nuts.

B. Travis would still nail it on either bike...
And the Bike Travis will use has updated technology and framing.
Anything Travis does is usually worth watching. But I'm not sure the Indian is real comparable to the suspension, wheels etc of some of the bikes Evel used. How about this Laverada 750 he used for a bit.

"Here’s the twist: Pastrana won’t be performing the stunts on a dirt bike, he’ll attempt the jumps on an Indian Scout FTR750. Pastrana wants to jump a motorcycle that was similar to the ones Evel used.
“It was extremely important to use a motorcycle similar to the ones Evel jumped. The Indian Scout FTR 750 is just that, a modern-day evolution of the flat track motorcycles of the past,” said Pastrana. “It has the power I need and handles well, but I’m only going to have a few days to get comfortable on it, not to mention I’ve never jumped a V-twin before. I’ve got my work cut out, but we’re used to going big at Nitro Circus, so we’ll make it happen.”
Don't look now but you guys are talking about it...Mission Accomplished Indian...Mission Accomplished.
