Make all the cracks about clowns you like, this guy did more to make kids happy than almost anyone in history.

"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the airâ€"these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

Watched him on WGN, Channel 9, in Chicago.  Late '70's, early '80's.  Sad day. [drink]
