Evil Knievel has died

[pammy]

I remember him being on the news often trying some daredevil act. He was lucky to make it this far I guess.

I was just watching that on tv.

When I was a kid, I used to have a stunt bike that used to be wound up on a stand. That thing used to fly

You would be surprised if I said he was one of my heroes wouldn't you? My hero list is getting shorter every year not because they pass away, but because less and less people do much that makes me think "I wish I was them"

He did what he felt was right, and always supported his home country. He also set up some fund for underprivildge children in Butte. But above all, he lived everyday!

69 is not a bad age.

I can just imaging him chasing James Hunt, Barry Sheene and Aryton Senna about on a cloud!
