Life of Evel by Stuart Barker
A searching and at times harrowing re-appraisal of the life of Evel Knievel, the seventies American icon and the greatest daredevil motorcyclist that ever lived.Evel soundbites:
‘Frank Sinatra couldn’t have drawn a crowd like that if he’d jumped off the hotel roof naked’
‘I must have slept with 2000 women; I once slept with eight in 24 hours for a bet.’
‘I have broken more bones than I can remember.’
‘An international icon’ Time magazine
