The world’s largest collection of Evel Knievel’s authentic performance leathers, jump bikes and memorabilia will be housed in a permanent museum at the Historic Harley-Davidson of Topeka, 2047 SW Topeka Blvd. The museum will be on two floors of a 16,000-square-foot expansion of Topeka’s Historic Harley-Davidson. The museum features dozens of Evel’s possessions, including: Several, original performance leathers and helmets – including the helmet Knievel wore on May 26, 1975, when he crashed while trying to land a jump over 13 London buses at the Wembley Stadium in London; many of Knievel’s jump motorcycles – including his first Harley Davidson: A 1970 XR750 Ironhead, which would become his preferred model, and the Laverda American Eagle; A larger-than-life bronze and copper statue; and Parachutes, pinball games, fan letters, photographs, X-Rays and more never-before-seen memorabilia.
