  • Linda Carter was Wonder Woman, but the real Wonder Woman was Kitty O'Neil (Lynda's Stuntwoman). Here she is riding a Kawasaki KE175, from Wonder Woman 1975 TV series, season 2, episode "The Murderous Missile".
    What Kitty O'Neil achieved in racing is astounding too. See more here eatsleepride.com/stories/wond...
    Kitty O'Neil was an American stuntwomen and racer, later set land and water speed records and became the fastest woman in the world in 1976.

      One could argue that his adrenalin forced him to clutch up the wheelie and novices do this and fall off all the time. Also people running from cops trip over their own feet all the time. But lastly, DUDE ITS FANTASY TV. You are critiquing realism, when 90% of the entire show is fantasy. Nobody is expecting realism watching this show.
