Happy Belated 69th B-Day To Evel Knievel

[Ultra5150]

Yesterday was his Bday....
I loved everything Evel. One of the best memories of my childhood. Did anybody ever get a blister in between their thumb and index finger from torquing the shit out of that handle? My favorite was the RV, I had a breakdown when I came home from school one day and found out my mom had donated all my old toys to the Goodwill.

Great Man, Great American!!!
I love when he beat the crap out of (with a baseball bat) the author of that damaging book about him, and then fired his lawyer for wanting him to plead innocent to the charges. He said he did it, the guy had it coming, and he's going to stand up and take the punishment like a man. Love that!!!
Cost him millions too, because he lost his toy deal over it.
RTJas :D
