Evel Knievel Dies

R.I.P. Bobby.
One of the greatest thrills of my childhood was seeing him jump at the Astrodome, and that getting that rev up motorcycle toy of his for Christmas.
What a guy!

 

Wow, he was one of my first "heroes".

RIP.

 

Same here.

I know you had that Evil Knievel motorcycle as a kid. That shit was the best damn toy for the time.

 

Even I bow down to Evel Kneivel.
I remember watching as a kid, when he jumped 13 double-decker buses at Wembley Stadium in London:

Fucking shit-hot (and fuck Bob Arum and Snake River Canyon).

I got one of these that Christmas:

 

Yep , had one of those as well ....
I might even still have it stashed up in my parents attic ..

 

RIP Evel. :eeeek: Your picture post brought back memories of the one I got for christmas WAY back also. I wonder if this auction will suddenly get pulled.

Why would that auction get pulled? They are on ebay all the time.

:dunno:

 

I had that toy as well, .

Man, the dude was a bad mofo, crazy bad ass mofo.

RIP...



:bears:

 

Normally when famous people die collectible stuff such as that value surges greatly. Granted that example isn't prestine.

 

The boy had BALLS...

For this alone :bears:

RIP

 

Yeah, but the seller should just let it ride, most serious bids happen in the last minutes and seconds.

Plus ebay will charge him fees by cancelling it anyway.

If you noticed, when you posted it, the auction was at $28, now a couple of hours later, it's up to $70 plus and still going.

Like I said, it's best to let the auction run its course.

 

I got this for a birthday present too!!!!!!!! :clap:

 

I had his car too :bears:

 

Great posts and memories here, folks.:bears:
Evel and Muhammad Ali were the two most popular athletes on the planet in the mid 70's.
They owned Wide World of Sports ratings, and everyone stopped what they were doing on that weekend when they were on and tuned in to watch them.

 

Evel had some serious balls to do the crazy stunts he did. Amazing showman! :clap: Didn't his son Robby follow his act?

 

Robby does do stuff like that! He did a Holiday Inn Express commercial recently, spoofing it.

 

It's amazing he lived as long as he did. RIP Evel.

:bears:

No, jumps today are pointless with their lighter bikes, engineered ramp angles and calibrated speed. What made Knievel famous was the painful crashes. Nobody wants to see a daredevil land safely all the time. We want comas and broken bones!

I watched a special on him tonight on the history channel. He was a prick but at least he was entertaining.

 

And you are a fucking marshmallow bellied pussy.::

 

Uh oh, here comes the victim

 

Seeing as how a cowardly pap smear poster that has never boxed like your godfairy friend here such as yourself is on my ignore list, good luck on the corner giving bjs, fairy boy.

 

Seeing as a cowardly poster would NEVER come to Indiana and back up the usual typist claims, the fat bald midget has room to talk ::

 

Most everything in the world is pointless, GF. But it was entertainment and death defying.:clap:

 

I have told you many times, anywhere lardass.
I'll kick your fat ass from downtown San Francisco to the bath houses where you give blow jobs at for free, missus fatlady.
