Gary Davis: AMA Motorcycle Hall of Fame Class of 2018

Gary Davis was inducted into the AMA Motorcycle Hall of Fame during the 2018 American Honda AMA Motorcycle Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony on Dec. 7 at the Hilton Columbus/Polaris in Columbus, Ohio. Davis, from Auburn, Calif., has spent more than 30 years in show business. He performed, coordinated and directed stunts in more than 280 films, 250 television episodes and 190 commercials. His longtime contributions have showcased the thrills of motorcycling to millions through the reach of Hollywood. Some of Davis's more notable credits include "X-Men: Days of Future Past," "The Amazing Spider-Man," "Against All Odds," "Terminator 2," "Independence Day," and "Spiderman 2." His credits go back decades — to the 1977 Evel Knievel film "Viva Knievel!" "You know, I've had lots of surprises happen to me through my lifetime, but none has ever caught me as completely off guard as when I received the phone call to tell me about this great honor," he said. "Honestly, and this is the truth, I thought I was being punked! I didn't figure many people outside of Hollywood even knew my name anymore. I've spent 45 years of my life always 'being other people.' The general public doesn't need to know who was really on the bike, or behind the wheel. I did care of course, that the studios, and the producers, and the crew members always knew that it was Gary Davis, so that I would continue to get phone calls to do more projects." Davis' motorcycle career began as an AMA professional dirt-track racer in 1969, riding alongside notables such as Hall of Famers Kenny Roberts and Gary Scott. Davis soon shifted to showmanship, however, and he began exhibition motorcycle jumping in 1971, setting aside his racing career. In 1972, he entered the Guinness World Records for clearing 21 cars, bettering Knievel's 19-car mark. After three years of jumping and more than 300 public jumps, he began doing stunt work. Davis' Hall of Fame ring was presented by AMA Motorcycle Hall of Famer Bill Brokaw.
