Evel Knievil Stunt Cycle

And I remember his toy stunt cycle with action figure *as a kid.* What fun we kids had in revving that up, jumping him off the ramp, and smashing him into the wall, or just landing him as far away as possible.--Laundry Shark

The man had more broken bones than I've had hot dinners. He was certainly an icon to my generation.
