Damn, what a legend...

Awww...but I too am surprised that it did not happen years ago. RIP...Evil Kneivel

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.

damn that sucks.Evil Kicked ass.

I had his toy motorcycle when I was a kid..RIP Evil

Correction it was not a windup motorcycle, it was a ripcord or pull cord and was red if I remember correctly. That and my ripcord crashup derby cars was my favorite toys.

There was life before you. He had two toys, your gizmo was from 1976 or so.


This was my baby...

You had to put the motorcycle in a stand and crank it on the side..thing would do wheelies ..

Life before me hahahaha no damnit there was not :winkwink:

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=788717

his fame made it also over to europe, i remember him from times when i was a kid. :(

RIP Evil Knievel

RIP Evil!!!

Didn't he just settle a lawsuit with Kanye West?

RIP Evel one.

Rest in peace. :(

Bump for the respect of a great entertainer.:2 cents::(
