| I just found out about it, what a shame and what a legend. Our Harley shop has Evil Knievel's personal Heritage Classic sitting in the show room and it was for sale, I'll bet it goes for a lot more now.  |

| RIP Evel. A true legend, he will be missed.
As a kid I remember wanting to be just like him, jumping my Schwinn bicycle off of every make-shift ramp we could put together.
