Who remembers Evil Knievel?

I just watched a special on him and he is a trip.. He is 69 years old and married a 24 year old last year.. I remember watching him trying to jump the grand canyon...
 
there was a great recording of him teeing off on a prank caler for some radio station
 
I was just checking out the Harley he used to do the jumps and man does it look ancient and outdated.. There was no suspension and the travel in the suspension was only 3 inches and it was heavy, I dont see how he did it.
 
I remember goin to the movies as a kid with my older brother to see a movie made by the guy. Good Lord, it MUST have been awful, but because I used to play with my older brother growing up I thought Evil Knievil was THE BOMB. LOL

And good for him if he can still get his groove on at that age with all the punishment he put his body through.

His face cushioned this fall most of the time
 
He was a hero of my youth.
His son Robby is smarter and better. He learned from his old man's mistakes - i.e. don't drink a fifth of Jack and try to jump shit on a Harley - LOL.
 
imo he's a fucking self centered ego maniac......I watched a special on him a couple of months ago and he just came off like an asshole.his son really seems like a great guy that has his head together and looks like he's learned from his fathers mistakes,and is really down to earth and family oriented.
 
He was definitely the shit when I was a little kid. He inspired me to ride my bike off of all kinds of jumps and even the roof of a shed.
 
The man truly discovered the secret to limited invincibility. He should have died 100x over.

Who remembers the E.K. stunt cycles that were sold? You had to hand crank that bitch like a mofo to rev it up and slam down the gear for it to take off. Heavy ass piece of metal. You could jump that thing into the wall or door and leave a dent. I would that sucker up one time as hard as I could and lifted it off the charge box and that back tire was spinning about 3000mph, I walked over to where my dad was sleeping and stuck it right in his hair. Mama had to cut it out with the scissors. He had a bald spot for about 4 weeks there.
 
I remember all of his big stunts, the grand Canyon thing of course, but Cesars Palace was another of his great claims of fame...
funny, I don't remember the bike, I was probably a little old to be interested in that...
