Just seen that Robert Craig "Evel" Knievel 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.
