Today in motorcycle history, April 27, 1967


 

 

  While the rest of the country is huddling around their TV's to watch Bonanza, the lucky folks at Ascot Speedway in Gardena, California, get the leg-wetting experince of a lifetime.  Evel Knievel breaks up the week's boredom by successfully jumping 15 cars on a Thursday evening.   

  Meanwhile, Ben joins up with an Army unit to rescue Hoss and Little Joe from hostile natives.
