What happens when you reverse the traditional stunt of a bike jumping over buses...

DMS-class Daimler Fleetline with Park Royal body, new in 1977 to London Transport as DMS2213 (OJD213R). Prior to the stunt in October 2001 it was owned by Imperial Coaches of Rainham, although it was still in the livery of previous owner Emsworth and District.

I used to see this bus every day at school in West Sussex. The Emsworth & District buses used to pick up & drop off children to the schools. I hope they didn't destroy it!
Do you know what happened to it? I didn't see that episode.

This is what they do to it, so I don't think it's destroyed. Those bikes though, they're dead.
