What is really AMAZING is the Harley he was using including it's then current engine & suspension.
Can't imagine what he could have accomplished with todays bikes!

The guys who jump today with their $75,000 tricked out custom dirt bikes have such an advantage. I would like to see them jump with a 1970's Sportster.

Yeah man! Evel did it in a leather suit and like 4 inches of suspension travel!!!!

A local guy did his lettering and art work.

Just saw a movie the other night
on Comcast AntennaTV or MeTV one of the oldies channels
with Evil Knievel 1977 'Viva Knievel'
(IIRC Gene Kelly, Lauren Hutton [spell ?] too)
& his Trucks/cars/bikes in it a few nights ago
cheesy *** movie, but cool to see the cars truck bikes

 

[JDmac72chrgr]

His Triumph was there too; there was a display comparing bike specs of his H-D with modern bikes, interesting to say the least. EK's stuff HEAVY.
