The Evel Knievel Museum in KS is where that pic is from, unfortunately, they don't have hardly-anything online from there. That's a disappointment, because I believe people would be encouraged to see things in-person if there was more content online.
I've posted before about Evel renting a luxury vintage yacht during his time in Florida, someone I know, her husband and she owned a sister ship to the one Evel had leased. I don't recall the exact specs, but they were in the style of a 1930's Stephens yacht, lots of enclosed cabin space done in stained wood, with a white hull, a near-vertical bow, fifty feet if it was an inch, and I think the pair were considerably-longer. Evel supposedly kept it for less than a year, and when he handed it back, it had significant damage and he was sued by the owners.
One fine day, Evel was cruising the Intracoastal Waterway, south of Ft. Lauderdale, and he came-to a bridge which didn't open according to Evel's needs. He pulled the yacht to the seawall and grabbed a baseball bat, and headed to the bridgetender's house where he proceeded to fracture the bridgetender's arm. He went to jail for that one. He was an idiot, because the bridge can cycle up/down in usually a few minutes, so he wasn't really delayed any great amount of time, until he was sent to jail. He also attacked with a baseball bat, a jump promoter, who won a $12 million+ judgement against him. Perhaps Knievel should have tried out for MLB?
Johnny Knoxville did a documentary on Knievel, and he said Knievel's career and life was described as being, "fast, faster, and disaster." Knievel's last wife said he was, "a man, who when he was down, got back-up."
