May he rest in peace. Evil was one of a kind.

A drug taking, drunken, womanizing, low I.Q. egomaniac. IMHO Not a good example for the Stars And Bars. But yes, he will be missed.

and NASCAR drivers, Football players, Baseball players, basket ball players, or anyother pre-madonna overpaid "oh I can't handle the stress of millions of people watching me on tv or the millions I make" crybaby pansy real men wannabes are?

Most handle it fine.

I remember having a little Evel Knievel motorcyle/rider when I was a kid. I think it had a flywheel in it and you ran it on the floor a few stroke to build up speed and then let it go and it hauled ass.

I can't believe that bastard was still alive. 69 is young by today's standards, but not with the 100 broken bones and that hard living.

I had the Evil Knievel action figure, motorcycle that wound up with the crank and the car.

Robby outjumped Evil, but it was a hell of a feat in Evils days considering the motorcycle/suspension setups he was using compared to what Robby has used. Evil could make most of the distances, it was the landings that were a bitch. Todays bikes can handle those landings better.
