Evel Knievel jumps 9 cars and 2 vans at the Cow Palace in Daly City, California.
Knievel was not a fan of the one-percenters, and said words along the lines of "Hells Angels are a stain on the reputation of motorcyclists everywhere." One of them took umbrage and hurled something at him - a bottle or a tyre iron - and a huge brawl broke out between the gang members and the fans. Just a month earlier the Angels beat a man to death at a Rolling Stones concert in Altamont.
