A moment of silence: motorcycle stunt hero Evel Knievel has passed away at age 69. The culprit: diabetes and a lung condition. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/22045287/ His son Robbie (in his mid-40s) continues the family legacy. My personal favorite display of his courage was the Snake River attempt over 30 years ago. i remember as a kid going through dozens of bicycle axles due to short jumps. --- Speeders And Drunk Drivers Are Murderers (SADDAM) admits to being a pedophile coddler: "The biggest threat to your kids is not pedophiles, but speeders and drunk drivers."

He will be missed. Had the red, white, and blue bicycle for doing those short jumps. Never managed to screw up an axle though. -- Great minds discuss ideas, average minds discuss events, small minds discuss people. - Admiral Hyman Rickover, U.S. Navy > A moment of silence: motorcycle stunt hero Evel Knievel has passed > away at age 69.

Did some cool stuff with the cycle, but generally speaking he was an a.s. I'll miss his antics, but not the man. As an aside, thanks for including the word "attempt". I'm sick of people saying he jumped that canyon. I've bailed out trying backflips on my BMX - you don't see me saying I backflipped. |
