September 8 1974.

Evel failed at Snake River.

I also failed to outrun the
CHP on Hwy 395 in Sun City.

Oops!

Chopped Honda 450 (back from Okinawa) and a '73 Norton Commando (right shifter) I found still in the shipping crate:
Pretty much the odd couple.

Snake River was Evel Knievel's "Jump the Shark" moment.

He should have stuck with his motorcycle.

I was riding this bad boy and breaking rear shocks regularly by going over makeshift "jumps".
