Schwinn's with the springer front end are pulling 10k...

You've worn your Elvis suit every week for years. That's just a stand up move in my book. I'm not surprised, while I don't know you personally, I know enough to know what a solid human being you are.

RIP Evel. Thanks for the thrills and spills.

"Skinner of knuckles" is dead on. Whoever designed it must've hated children.

Thanks, but more of a tribute....like others have posted, Evel was the man for many of us young crazy tykes...I know he's the reason I started riding dirt bikes....he is one of the few guys cool enough to pull off the jumpsuit...he even had the 'burns, IIRC.

As I walked into Wallyworld on Sunday they had retro Schwinn bicycles lined up by the front door for sale. They looked like the bikes back in the day including "slicks" for back tires.

Damn...he will be missed.

People just dont jump the Grand Canyon in rocket cars like they used to....


RIP

...even the red pinstripe?

Awesome.

You should watch an obscure movie (finally out on DVD) called "Kenny and Company." One of the best movies I've ever seen about being a kid in the 1970s.

Just heard the news on ESPN a bit ago. As a kid I didn't know much about the football and baseball studs, the two guys I did know were Muhamed Ali and Evel Kinevel.

I still have scars from trying to do on my bike what I saw Evel do on TV. 'Course my ramps were never the size his were - and I never had a landing ramp.

As a kid I had the Evel Kinevel action figure, motorcycle with that little plastic teeth thingy you stuck in by the back wheel and yanked to send the bike on it's way. Also had the snake river rocket car. Shoot, my first "Store-Bought" bike looked like a motorcycle (not like Evel's though).

It's amazing the guy lived this long. Robby is good, but he isn't his dad - he seems to have a little more respect for the stunts than Evel did.

I didn't notice. I just glanced at the one like my old Stingray.

Dude, you are really, really old aren't you.:)




Yeah it was 1970-something.:thumb:

age is a just a number that doesn't come on a carton of candles.. :harumph:
