Saw him in a bar North of Norcross GA about 6 years ago. He was drinking away his new replacement liver. Talked to him, but he would not sign an autograph. He is probably the only person I would ever ask for an autograph from, so it sucked.
I sure loved his 1972 Windup Motorcycle, it was my best toy ever.
Where would the X Games be without him?
He is a prick. RIP Evel Prick.Comment

That one I also had before my ripcord model, however for some reason I did not associate it with windup. That bitch was some serious manual labor where you hand cranked the fucker and then let it rip.
I guess it sort of was a semantics issue in my brain. To me windup means a little knob you twist and then let the thing go.
Actually I feel this needs is own thread. http://www.gofuckyourself.com/showthread.php?t=788717Comment
