Can we get this outta the way? Do you believe Haygood attempted to ride up the incline on Elm, in order to reach the top of it, on the same type bike as Hargis but failed at the curb?
In my opinion Haygood Never intended to jump the Elm St curb and ride Up the Grassy Knoll. If you look at the film footage of Haygood tipping his motorcycle back into an upright position, the motorcycle is situated Parallel to the curb next to it. Who attempts to jump anything while traveling parallel to it? (Other than Steve McQueen in "The Great Escape"). It is easiest to jump an object while moving directly toward it as is possible. I believe in his haste to get off the bike and then run Up the Grassy Knoll, Haygood simply dumped the heavy motorcycle right there at the curb where he had coasted to a stop.
