I watched a few minutes.
As a piece of historical value it's of interest.
So many things wrong in the first 6 minutes.
Road position of Fonda at the beginning going through the curves
Knievel not turning his head to look where he wants to go doing the slow speed
The rider on the freeway giving the Mustang drive "the stare"
Rider following the white van too closely
I'm not going to watch any more.

SOME not ALL but some of that entire video still holds true today. I may be wrong but looks like some of it was shot on the P C H. Interesting look back thru time. RIDE SAFE.

The more things change the more they remain the same. Who the heck said that. True though huh.
That stuff still happens today.

Boy, that video goes back to the 1960's. The last bike I had that shifted on the right was my '65 Sportser. Eval does better in the air than he does on grass...
