Evel Knievel is dead!
Evel Knievel, the hard-living motorcycle daredevil whose jumps over Greyhound buses, live sharks and Idaho's Snake River Canyon made him an international icon in the 1970s, died Friday. He was 69.

hes been pretty rough the past 5 or so years in and outa the hospital. i guess hes been traveling around the us with a mobile museum of his bikes and stuff and speaking to the public. they were interviewing him on the radio in milwaukee cuz he was gonna be at the harley plant.....was pretty cool to listen to him i wish i woulda had time to go and listen to him..... he said it was kinda strange cuz it was the first time he had ever been to milwaukee and he had road harleys for all his life....

RIP!

Re: Evel Knievel is dead!
Terrible news. Met him a couple years ago and did a ride with him. He signed my helmet and I immediately retired it. Still hangs in my garage.

RIP
