Evel Knievel’s Irish Roots an Influence, says Daredevil’s Son

The Evel Knievel exhibition was on show at this year’s Carole Nash Irish Motorbike and Scooter show in Dublin’s RDS arena last week. The Evel Knievel tour manager, Mr Karl Hickey, said he decided to run with the show in a “moment of madness.” Mr Hickey describes himself as a Knievel fan, and when he was looking for a new idea for a show he discovered that there was a new museum exhibition in the USA about Evel Knievel, so he contacted Kelly Knievel, Evel’s eldest son.
