Caesars Palace crash was on a Triumph. Much as I would like to blame HD for the later crashes, I think it was because he was jumping farther pushing the envelope. I think he would have crashed on either machine.




I recall reading or hearing somewhere that Knievel attributed this to the logistics of the place, as the length of his approach run was shorter than what he needed, and thus his take-off speed was a few MPHs lower than what it needed to be.




Translation: More balls than brains.
