Sarnie Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 Retired the year I was born yet was still infamous throughout my childhood. Me too. He was massive when i was young, or at least his legend was. I can remember having an Evel Knievel drag back motorbike that you could lauch over a couple of books or something, loved it.

Sarnie Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 How spooky is this! From another site: Yep, a hero top many, I recall owning the motorbike set that you wound up with a crank and it would weelie up the path. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GC350z Posted November 30, 2007 Author Share Posted November 30, 2007 And now we all have much bigger and more expensive toys. I even ordered a pair of helicopters as a Christmas present for my brother. About the size of your palm. Both have lasers. When one shoots the other it loses power for a few seconds. Can’t wait them to arrive. $54. I’ll always be a kid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sarnie Posted December 1, 2007 Share Posted December 1, 2007 You mean one of these: I had one too http://www.firebox.com/product/1430 Yep mine was similar but without all the accessories. Evel Knievel is synonomous with daredevil riding and canyon jumps etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
