No way! Rest In Peace just doesn't seem right for such a crazy daredevil. What about just have a rest? Will be sorely missed, another icon gone. Anyone remember the wind up Evil Knievel toys as kids where the bike shot off the windey bit, were great

Copy that, me and mates were only on about him on Wed night.
How sad

Again my Hero as a kid and again I had the bike.

The best toy I had that year

I was only looking at a repo last Weekend

Although he's passed away (RIP), I'm sat here smiling thinking about my wind up Evel bike
