Interview tongiht on SBS with "The Man" by Richard Hammond of Top Gear fame, should be worth a look I reckon.

What a hardcore mofo Evel was. That bike had no suspension yet he still kept jumping, crashing, healing, jumping, crashing. Back then there was no pins and screws, just months of traction and plaster. Typical biker, loved booze and women and bikes and cars and planes and choppers.

RIP Evel.

I used to admire Evel till I saw this show. He was a first class . Albeit a rich one. Got to admit he had big gonads though. Had to laugh when he gave the Hells Angels the finger and they beat the crap out of him.
