The hoses, no. There is supposed to be a breakaway valve that seals off fuel that isn’t installed correctly or malfunctioned.

I'm sorry, but you must phrase that in the form of a question.

Yeah, wow - how could anybody who claims to be a gearhead of any kind who grew up in the '60's and '70's not know that Evel Knievel eventually jumped nothing but Harleys? As a matter of fact, he rather infamously lambasted his own son, Robbie, for jumping dirt bikes instead. It was "too easy"... They had a huge falling out over it...

The first pics of Evel were standard iron Sportsters. He had approached HD prior and they wanted nothing to do with him. It was only when his jumps started being televised that they reconsidered. He did move up to the XR later when the standard Sportster weighed too much and lacked the power he needed for the ever increasing jump distances.
Other than supplying him with bikes, parts and support I don't remember any other ( read cash) endorsement money. It was a huge payoff for HD. They got a lot of mileage and money from that.
