69 is a pretty good run. how many people who play it safe, and never do anything fun, make it that far?

What an Icon for kids growing up in the 70's. That guy taught rock stars how to party. R.I.P

His last duty on earth was suing that crybaby loser, Kanye West. Godspeed, Evel. Thanks for the awesome youtube clips that will be forever enjoyed.

I wonder if Robbie (his son) ever reconciled their differences?

America could use a few men like Evel Knievel right about now. We are getting down towards the last of a dying breed. R.I.P., Evel. You put a lot of smiles on my face over the years.

"Anybody can jump a motorcycle," he once told Esquire magazine. "The trouble begins when you try to land it."
He was by no means perfect, but there was a guy who taught us how to get off our asses and savour the one-shot deal that is life! Godspeed Evel

I never totally forgave him for the Snake River affair. And couldn't he have prevented George Hamilton from making that movie?

"Do you know who the hell I am?" Jim Rome Show listeners will know that line.
Evel was probably was not the best husband or father but he was a hell of a man. His bones are now pain-free for the first time in decades. Rest easy.
