FACT: Evel Knievel is more of a man than John Wayne
 

The man jumped over cars and trucks and buses on a motorcycle. It doesn't get much more hardcore than that. John Wayne just pretended to be a cowboy, while Evel Knievel was out there in the trenches entertaining millions by jumping fountains and JUMPING OVER A CANYON IN A ROCKET. Evel Knievel is king.

Fuck Evel Knievel. John Wayne never needed two guys to hold someone down so he could beat him up with a baseball bat.

I know evil kneivel's son, total loser... He is in sooo much fucking debt because of gambling that he has to do free shows at an indian casino (Sequim Bay's 7 Cedars) just to keep them off his ass.

Funny though cuz right next to that Casino is the John Wayne Marina...

Evel Knievel took on the Hell's Angels. John Wayne rode around on a horse for 15 minutes then went and sat in his trailer and had grapes fed to him by beautiful women on each and every one of his movie sets.

Yeah, I saw him jump a bunch of cars at a local car dealership like 10 years ago.

Really? How so?


Doesn't change the fact that he had to have 2 guys hold a guy down so he could beat the crap out of him with a baseball bat.

Long story short a Hell's Angels member flicked him off and he took the guy out, then a riot broke out.

And the baseball bat thing, the guy wrote libelous stuff about him in the book that he wrote. He just got what was coming to him. :2 cents:

Libelous? If it was libel he would have taken him to court instead of being arrested for assault.

and punching one HA hardly qualifies as taking on the HA

Good point, but in most states the Evel Knievel justice system supercedes the American justice system. Unfortunately the state that the incident occured in had temporarily seceded from the United States but kept their laws, so the Evel Knievel clause wasn't in effect at the time of the alleged assault. :2 cents:

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

True, but since it was an organization known for their "all for one" type allegiance, taking on one is the same as taking on all, becuase if you start beef with one you've got beef with them all. :2 cents:

Yeah, hence the riot.

So we're in agreement then.

YARGH! I don't know much about this whole Evel Vs. Hell's Angels business, but I do know Don Knotts could kick both John Wayne, and Evel's ass.

Question #7
How did you get started in motorcycle jumping, and can you discuss this aspect of your life?

Needed something to do after mustering out of the service and it looked like the most lucrative without having to do a lot of work. Garnered a lot of interest as we started in Europe where motorcycles are more a means of ground transportation then airborne. Also loved the crowds and attention. Signed a lot of autographs on different parts of cute bodies.

Let there be no mistake, when I was 14 and 15 Evel was a huge idol to me. My doctor (Don Cortum) was his doctor. Cortum's son used to ride dirt bikes with us and had an old pair of Evel's leathers. To say we were extremely jealous would be a major understatement.

When he stooped to that level in 76 or 77 he lost all respect. If he had just beat the guy up with a bat, it would have been one thing. To have one guy hold Saltman may have not been as bad, but two guys? Fuck him. Pussy.

I doubt he had the foresight to know that he was going to get ratpacked. Like Chio, I don't know what the end result of the "riot" was.

YARGH! I'm ready for anything

Evel KYARGHel once jumped 50 pirate ships, and without a helmet.

I was in a bar in Atlanta a few years back when all of a sudden the band whipped int a rousing version of Born to Be Wild. Next thing you know they are introducing their old friend Evel.

Now, Evel was my hero as a kid. I got goose bumps when he entered the room.

He went up to the balcony and was drinkng beers with his new liver.

I got to talk to him, but he would not sign an autograph.

Today my opinion is that Evel is Evil.

There's alot of 'he's said, she said stuff in this thread."

Even my grandma says John Wayne is a pussy, who did everything possible to keep from serving in the military :2 cents:

:thumbsup :1orglaugh

Which perhaps makes him more of a men :-) If I had a choice in this then I´d prefer beautiful women feeding me stuff in my trailer :pimp but I have no trailer yet duh...
And again...15 minutes horse riding is enough for men...

you DO NOT want to incure the wrath of The Fife!
