EVIL KNIEVEL

[Radical Rich]

Come on he was one of my all time heros. He invented Balls. If you put your ass in his seat. Hit that ramp on that machine. WOW! He was paying his bills doing that ****. He is the one and the only. Peace out EV K.

God speed Evil....

I assume this thread is intended to state that he passed away...

I'm sure he's already trying to jump from cloud to cloud!

He lived an amazing life and was fortunate to live as long as he did, all things considered... RIP.

hmm wasn't this last week?
about 40 borrowed years or so huh

He was a bad ass though, didn't know about all the bad stuff he did when I was small - I had the wind up moto toys that ran around the house as a kid. He was like a living superhero, eval, spiderman, and batman were what it was all about in the early 70's for me.

apparently this one is rare now - I am sure I destroyed it by 1978-79 unfortunately

I admit it, I had one of those too.....that picture really took me back, reminds me of all the Star Wars stuff I had when I was a kid that would be worth a fortune now if I had held onto it.:D

[Repsoul]

Ya, I had a bunch of his stuff to. I even had the lunchbox!! :eek:

Good, bad, or ugly he was one of the originals and lived like there was no tomorrow. Most of us wish to live a life like that. Almost strange that after all of the death defying stunts he did, he still lived a long life.

God Speed E.K.!!

I saw a special on him last week, and he said seomthing to the effect of "Death was my competitor"

He looked death in the eye and dared it to take him...

[Hondaman69]

He sure done a lot more daring stunts on an older bike than the stunt drivers do now days. I mean who in their right mind would try to jump some canyon.
