One of my boyhood heroes, I am very sad. RIP Evel. A true legend and a real man.

I had an Evel Knievel lunchbox when I was a kid, the kind they don't make anymore for fear of kids braining each other with heavy metal objects.

RIP, Evel. How you lived this long is a mystery.

There's gotta be a joke somewhere regarding Evel K & Roger Smith of GM meeting at the pearly gates today. But the writers are on strike so we may never know.

Even to me in Portugal he was a hero...

PAz á sua Alma.

Same here. I used to have this toy and i would play with it night and day:

When I was nine years old Evel inspired me. I remember wanting to be just like him... Over time I realized my dream by becoming an alcoholic and having sex with a lot of women.

We love you, Evel!

RIP Evel.

I had that same toy with the wind up thingamajiggy. I'd race that bastard across the vinyl linoleum and get in trouble for crashing Evel into my mom's ankles.
