Evel Knievel & Triumph Bonneville TT Special - Ascot Park 1967 - motorcycle jump

Description

A superb and rare photo. Shown is
Evel Knievel
during his famous
1967
jump over
14 cars
(!!!) in
Ascot
Park
. Evel is seen flying with his famous
650cc Triumph Bonneville TT Special
jump bike.
An incredible jump, totally not comparable with the jumps todays stuntmasters make on bikes that weigh halve the weight, accelerate much faster and have 6 times more suspension travel then Evel’s Triumph!
Evel rode and jumped on Triumph earlier on in his career. The 650cc parallel twin Bonneville TT Special developed a power output of 46 hp at 6,500 r.p.m. The topspeed was over
109 mph
. The TT Special was a very rare, high performance version of the Bonneville. It was modified to suit Evel´s jumping needs, note the brake parachute on the back.
