MEH

A real man would'a done it on a 1972 XR650




Wearing Red/White and Blue leathers, of course.  [evil]

Well at least he didn't tell us a story about when 'He' did something similar.

Pretty cool!

Let's see him do the bobsled track with ice on it, using studded tyres.

I know I don't have the balls to do that.... Other than the riding it up the hill part.

We don't have time for those stories.  I have lived a life full of adventures.  Many quite large. 
Landing on the top of Mont Blanch in a paraglider and relaunching with a full moon.
Doing loops above Lac de Annecy, White water kayaking Cherry creek, leading mountain bike trips in Moab Utah,
Scuba diving on the Atocha with Mel Fishers team.  White water guiding the Rouge, Merced, Salmon and American rivers.
Climbing the Seattle space needle for my 21st birthday.  Flying a glider off Glacier point in Yosemite.

I could keep going but I thought it a good time to pause and allow you time to post more videos of other people doing things.

Tried more than once to be nice to you but truth be told I just don't make the beast with two backsing like you.  This is where I usually would add something that would get me banned so I will skip it and I will skip clicking on your threads.  Board needs an iggy button.

yeah... yeah... we're ALL tripe posters.
What I was puzzled about was that Evel rode a H-D XR750 and a Triumph 650 but a XR650 was a Honda (not made in '72).

  [laugh] :P

You are correct about the bike model.  I uncertain exactly which bike he rode so just tossed it out there.  just tossed it out there as I thought the Evil Kenevil reference would still be caught.

"Knievel briefly used a Honda 250cc motorcycle, using it to jump a crate of rattlesnakes and two mountain lions, which was his first known jump. Knievel then used a Norton Motorcycle Company 750cc. He used the Norton for only one year during 1966. Between 1967 and 1968, Knievel jumped using the Triumph Bonneville T120 (with a 650cc engine). Knievel used the Triumph at the Caesars Palace crash on New Year's Eve 1967. When Knievel returned to jumping after the crash, he used Triumph for the remainder of 1968.

Between December 1969 and April 1970, Knievel used the Laverda American Eagle 750cc motorcycle. On December 12, 1970, Knievel would switch to the Harley-Davidson XR-750, the motorcycle with which he is best known for jumping. Knievel would use the XR-750 in association with Harley-Davidson until 1977. However, after his 1977 conviction for the assault of Shelly Saltman, Harley-Davidson withdrew their sponsorship of Knievel."

you forgot the Legend SC300

for the record..... that's a hard pic to look at.


too much piss and vinegar in the man to see him in a mobility scooter

He needed all that piss, to get away with the attack on Shelly.

"But in the eyes of the general public he is perhaps best known as the man that Evel Knievel tried to beat to death with a baseball bat."
