French climber Henry Julian Rechatin and two companions rode a motorcycle 1800 feet along a high wire above Whirlpool Gorge near Niagara Falls. Rechatin steadied the bike after a repair, while his wife Janyck hung beneath on a trapeze. He hoped Canadian officials would grant a permit to attempt the Falls crossing like Jean Blondin in 1859.
