h67st Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 When I was a kid we all looked up to Evel. I've seen a couple of documentaries about him recently and he was really a jerk. That's really sad to hear since he was such a hero to us. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/51727-evel-knievel-f-model/#findComment-385435 Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillyT Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 The last time I saw that truck it looked like junk! Glad they restored it! FYI Evel holds the record for having the most broken bones!

Like Evel or not, you have to have to be arrogant to pull off his stunts over and over again, Patton was considered arrogant, along with Omar Bradly and Mac Arthur, hell even Stormin' Norman and Dale Earnhardt were considered arrogant. All tops in their job.

HeavyGunner Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 George Foreman, John Elway, Dan Marino, Randy Couture all at the top of their game and none came off arrogant to me or are surrounded by stories of them being jerks. Just saying you don't have to be a dick to be the best. Evel certainly accomplished more than anyone else on a triumph but that didnt make him nice. He was a rough ole bugger from a tough mining town.
