ROBBIE KNIEVEL - son of stunt legend Evel Knievel - has announced he will attempt to jump 16 double-decker buses in London next year.
Replicating a stunt failed by his late father at Wembley Stadium in 1975, Robbie will attempt the giant leap on a classic Harley-Davidson motorcycle.
Knievel, 47, has chosen to turn his back on modern, easier-to-jump machinery and instead will ride a Harley Davidson XR-750: the same machine used by his late father in the Wembley attempt 35 years ago.
"Daredevils are a dying breed," he said. "I'm proud to have been raised by one and to be one myself."
