Anybody know what model Triumph he used?
A good article American Daredevil has this listed:
While Evel became famous for his prodigious motorcycle jumping abilities, he gained an added dimension with thrill-seeking audiences as he became equally well-known for his spectacular crackups at events in cities such as Tacoma and Barstow. "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.
So isn't a T-120 in fact a 650?
