EVEL KNIEVEL

Harley-Davidson is the finest company in the world.

I really think we should pass a law in every state, I don't care whether it takes the independence away from an old person or not. You shouldn't be driving a car if you're over the age of 80. Maybe even less than that.

I've been in a treatment center for drinkin'. I stayed for two days, then escaped.

You know, I had a couple hundred jumps in my career, and I made most of them, but the ones they show over and over are the ones when I crashed.

You can be famous for a lot of things. You can be a Nobel-prize winner. You can be the fattest guy in the world.

I like to help kids, work with kids in detention homes. Don't tell a kid what's right and wrong. He knows what's right and wrong. Find out what his attitude and his aptitude are; try to help him where he wants to go.

Breaks your heart when your son doesn't love you.

You can't forbid children to do things that are available to them at every turn. God told Eve, 'Don't give the apple to Adam,' and look what happened. It's in our nature to want the things we see.

You can't say you're going to jump the Grand Canyon and then jump some other canyon.

I don't have any problems in life, just situations.

I play golf five days a week. I find that if I play seven days a week, I get stale.

There are a lot of myths about my injuries. They say I have broken every bone in my body. Not true. But I have broken 35 bones. I had surgery 14 times to pin and plate. I shattered my pelvis. I forget all of the things that have broke.

A motorcycle coming down from 30 feet at 70 mph gives you a terrible jolt.

I love the feeling of the fresh air on my face and the wind blowing through my hair.

I know guys in my hometown that drive by feel and sound.

I am a lucky, lucky person.

The saddest thing is when a guy is paying so much attention to the world and everything going by that he can't take the time for his own mother.

God made us. He's in charge of everything, right? If He didn't like us, why didn't he change us?

Titanic Thompson and Amarillo Slim would have run from a game with Marty Stanovich. Marty could really play, and he didn't cheat.

You are the master of your own ship, pal. There are lots of people who fall into troubled waters and don't have the guts or the knowledge or the ability to make it to shore. They have nobody to blame but themselves.

If there is a heaven, I don't know anything else I can do to get there - and neither do you.

There's just no stopping me. I went through life big-bang-banda-boom-bada-boom.

When I hit that pavement at 70 or 80 mph those suits just ripped.

If you fall during your life, it doesn't matter. You're never a failure as long as you try to get up.

I can still crack a safe with one hand tied behind my back. I'm not proud of it. But I was always against society.
