For Tom Pabst,

Found this vid on YouTube of Bondurant, Gurney and P. Hill playing with some vintage stuff at Riverside. Looks mid-80s. As they pan around there is lots of shots of the front straight grandstands and the pit lane and some of the garages. Thought it might be of help.

I'm going to call tonights meeting off on account of rain. Next week guys.

Jeff Hail 11-30-2007 04:19 PM

Robert (Evel) Knievel passed away. I actually admired the guy.

"Anybody can jump a motorcycle," "The trouble begins when you try to land it."

http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1196471912.jpg

He was dubbed "Evil Knievel" by a jailer in Montana after crashing his motorcycle while fleeing from police. He later changed the spelling to "Evel" as his daredevil career took off to avoid being perceived as a bad guy.

His name is really pronounced E-h-v-i-l K-n-e-a-a-v-il


Memorable quotes:
You can fall many times in life, but you're never a failure as long as you try to get up.

Loving someone doesn't mean that you can love her for six days and then beat the crap out of her on the seventh.

Women are the root of all evil. I ought to know. I'm Evel.

This country has become a nation of the government, by the government, and for the government. Our politicians are destroying us. We need a revolt!

When you're mad at someone, it's probably best not to break his arm with a baseball bat.

Heaven is a place you can go and drink a lot of draft beer and it don't make you fat. You can cheat on your wife and she don't get mad. You get a beautiful female chauffeur with nice, hard tits -- real ones. There are motorcycle jumps you never miss. You don't need a tee time.

The Internal Revenue Service is more ruthless than the Gestapo. Abolish the IRS! Stamp out organized crime!

I don't believe in hell. I don't believe in gods or Jesus Christ or sacred cows. I don't believe in that big, fat-assed Buddha. Show me one piece of Noah's ark. Show me one piece of the tablets that Moses was supposed to have brought down from the mountain. People need a crutch. They need to make up stories. I don't want to do that.

You can be famous for a lot of things. You can be a Nobel-prize winner. You can be the fattest guy in the world. You can be the guy with the smallest penis. Whatever it is, enjoy it. It don't last forever.

One day you're a hero, the next day you're gone.

People say they take responsibility for their own actions all the time, but that don't mean they really do.

I think that all of these so-called born-again Christians should ask their preachers why they don't hand out organ-donor cards. If you donated a kidney or a heart or an eye or whatever to your fellow man to keep him alive, you couldn't be closer to God than that.

You can't forbid children to do things that are available to them at every turn. God told Eve, "Don't give the apple to Adam," and look what happened. It's in our nature to want the things we see.

If God ever gives this world an enema, he'll stick the tube in the Lincoln Tunnel and he'll flush everybody in New York City clear across the Atlantic. And that would just be a start.

We must tax the churches. Freedom of religion is bull**** when it's tax-free.

You are the master of your own ship, pal. There are lots of people who fall into troubled waters and don't have the guts or the knowledge or the ability to make it to shore. They have nobody to blame but themselves.

I've done everything in the world I've ever wanted to do except kill somebody. There are a couple of guys I know who need shooting. They represent the rectums of humanity.

If you don't know about pain and trouble, you're in sad shape. They make you appreciate life.

Everything in moderation is okay, except Wild Turkey.

If a guy hasn't got any gamble in him, he isn't worth a crap.

Ah man!
That sucks.

Evel!
Evel!
Evel!
Evel!

Evel!
Evel..............

My first bike (with coaster brakes, solid rubber tires, and training wheels) was an Evel Knievel special--full of red, white and blue livery. Not so cool about the attempted murder bit, but hey, no one's perfect.

Jeremy Cottrell 11-30-2007 05:40 PM

Yeah right! You were playing with those Romanian girls that were in the Dacia videos.

Jeff Hail 11-30-2007 05:48 PM

Yup I had one of those. I remember the front forks were really Gumby-ish so they wouldnt snap off when l launched into the undercarriage of many a parked car. Best time I had was when my neighbor drained his pool for a little acid wash I would really get Evel wound up for some stunt's.

My sister wasnt fond of the Evel though. I tied her Ken doll to the stunt cycle with about 2 feet of string and dragged his road rashed plastic torso into something unrecognizable. Thats what happens when your sister tries to hide the stunt cycle from her little brother. "He ought to know, He's Evel"!

wait a minute!!!!!!I thought it went like Radu exhibited a strong artisitic ability as a young boy, always drawing and painting with a particular interest in cars and motorsports. What happened to the School of Art and Plastic? Racing karts at Club Pioneer?

rocks and sticks Radu?http://forums.pelicanparts.com/suppo...eys/gitaar.gif

I had one of these. It was so heavy...

I also had a Nitro snowboard with Evel Jumping on the bottom. I still have it, only for the graphic on the bottom.

This is what Radu had to play with in Romania:
