Any mention of Knievel doing a jump on the TV had us knowing without question what we'd be doing during that hour.
"I got hurt real bad in Tacoma, Washington," Knievel says. "Had a severe brain concussion. Landed short. Hit the ramp, caught it on the rear wheel. I was riding a Triumph then, T-120 Bonneville. Then a 650 Bonneville Triumph.
"Norton was the first sponsor I had. Then I went to Triumph.
Knievel has claimed that the Triumph 650 was far and away the best bike he ever jumped with."
