I love the feeling of the fresh air on my face and the wind blowing through my hair.
I decided to fly through the air and live in the sunlight and enjoy life as much as I could.
Anybody can jump a motorcycle. The trouble begins when you try to land it.
Riding a motorcycle on today's highways, you have to ride in a very defensive manner. You have to be a good rider and you have to have both hands and both feet on the controls at all times.
If you don't know about pain and trouble, you're in sad shape. They make you appreciate life.
I don't have any problems in life, just situations.
I learned one thing from jumping motorcycles that was of great value on the golf course, the putting green especially: Whatever you do, don't come up short.
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 you fall during your life, it doesn't matter. You're never a failure as long as you try to get up.
You come to a point in your life when you really don't care what people think about you, you just care what you think about yourself.
Women are the root of all evil. I ought to know. I'm Evel.
I guess I thought I was Elvis Presley but I'll tell ya something. All Elvis did was stand on a stage and play a guitar. He never fell off on that pavement at no 80 mph.
The finest compliment you can pay a man is that his word was as good as gold.
The most important thing in life is, if you have a dream, I mean a real good dream, follow it.
Nothing's worse than a guy who loses fair and square and then whines about it.
I have my tombstone already. A tombstone company in the East gave it to me when I jumped Snake Canyon. My plot is in Montana.
You can't say you're going to jump the Grand Canyon and then jump some other canyon.
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.
Unless we do things in this country to slow down our population, slow down our birth control, provide better water for people, provide power for people, we're gonna find out that the next wars are not going to be fought over diamonds, gold and political things.
I did everything by the seat of my pants. That's why I got hurt so much.
