Evel was a badass for sure, just the whole snake river thing was always a bit lame to me, he would have done better to retire on a last bike jump not try to ride a rocket.




I agree Ian.The Rocket thing was a little bit of a poor finale for a wild man with such a great record.Maybe he blacked out as he said or maybe he was thinking"there's a sucker born every second" .Only Evel knows the real truth of what happened, and he's not telling
He certainly was one of a kind.
I remember seeing a poster with him doing a wheelie on a Sportster and it said something like.
