In the old days they, the promoters, wanted more and more from me. They wanted me to jump or spill my blood and break my bones. Every time they wanted me to jump further, and further, and further. Hell, they thought my bike had wings.

No prince, no king, no president has ever lived a better life than I have!

I did everything by the seat of my pants. That's why I got hurt so much.

If I'm out trailriding, I have a favorite motorcycle. Riding on the road, I've got a favorite. If I'm jumping, I have a favorite, and if I'm racing, I have a favorite.

I think through education, belief in God, and good engineering, our children become a lot better at what they're doing than we did, and that starts with the very first sign of life on the face of this earth.

I always wanted to live to about 70. I thought that'd be a good age.

I decided to fly through the air and live in the sunlight and enjoy life as much as I could.
