The bike world encompasses more than just biker bars and gangs. There are many people who have pioneered in the industry and turned a few people on to the culture. These people can do tricks; showcase their talents in shows and in movies, and even help designed new bikes. This article will look at some of these all stars and their contributions to the motorcycle community. Hopefully some of these all stars can inspire you to enjoy your motorcycle hobby a little more.
Probably one of the most popular motorcycle stunt men is Evel Knievel. Known as Robert Craig Knievel to his parents, this stuntman wowed the hearts of millions over the years. He is known for trying death daring jumps and is even in the Guinness book of World Records. The title that he was honored with was for having the most broken bones in a lifetime. The total count for him was 433. Most of these broken bones were sustained while in his career. He is now featured in the Motorcycle Hall of Fame. He died at the age of 69 of pulmonary disease.
One of the few women in the motorcycle world is Debbie Evans. Debbie has a reputation for being the “Queen of Trials”. She got this nickname for being the first women to successfully ride in the US trials during the late 1970s. It is also safe to say that she is the best female rider in the motorcycle world. You can now catch her teaching a course about stunt riding. If you need help with anything motorcycle related, go listen to her.
