Just seen that Robert Craig "Evel" Knievel (http://www.evelknievel.com/) has died at the age of 69 :(
I was reading about him during the week, looking at some of the stuff he did when younger. I think he broke most bones in his body at least three times!
And he'd just settled some lawsuit as well. Shame.
Complete nutter, but fun to watch.

I just got back to the same news, almost a pity he didn't go after one of his stunts. The Grand Canyon, powered by beer would have been a good one to end on. :)
Right, I'm going to go out and buy an Evel Kineval stunt bike and rev it down the stairs in trubute.
RIP, mad rocket powered bike dude. :(

I'm with Reverend Fayshun on this one. So iconic and I idolised him as a bairn in the 70s and 70s.
RIP.
