I seriously recommend all who loved the dark knight to buy the dvd and see the special features, especially the pod thing with Jean Pierre.

Secondly, whoa! That's quite a writup on quite the stuntman! Those tidbits on the batpod were an amazing read and this interview was as good as any I have seen in professional efforts!

Bravo! to the both of you. And keep 'em coming, please...
Hey. Good to see you around. I am glad you liked it. I will try to bring in whatever I can...

That pic was taken by Warner and is an official set pic. Plus, a friend also happened to be in that chicago subway( dunno the name) when Dark Knight was being shot. Mr Goy was incidently wearing a flip over Bat- mask as he observed, coz otherwise everyone thought it was mr Bale doing the batpod duties!! Really very very lucky to get that snap. You must lay your hands on The Dark Knight dvd. Watch the making of the Bat Pod, its simply superb. the way they came up with the machine and watching JP riding this beast is just plain awesome! It makes you want to lay your hands on it actually. It was tested for something else and ended up doing a lot different actually!
Yup! Thanks for sharing this info.

Honestly, I was beginning to tire of the recent chatter in the threads. And articles like these are the ones that re-ignite my hope in our members

Thank you for sharing this Ken. I'm sure with your contacts in EU, you'd be able to dig up more invaluable interviews with people connected in any form to a motorcycle

Always enjoy your posts man..

Thanks Rossiter.

I have some more interesting stuff left in me. But it will take some time getting it organised.

@ ken_cool: I second Rossiter on this! Threads here are getting a little mundane if not for an article or two like this. Thanks for bringing this to us.

@ Ken. Hats off to you for the interview. Thanks for sharing.

For quite a while I had been reading about him and while searching for the Bond movie video, I was amazed to see another mind blowing video of his (below).
Damn the new RT weighs more than 260kgs and this guy handles it like a bicycle!! Truly talented.

Thanks for sharing the video. He truly is amazing. Stunting comes as easy to him as breathing for us!!!
