I moved to S. LA from Indiana at 6 yrs. old. Had an Evel Knievel Halloween costume. Everyone thought I was an astronaut. I guess Evel Knievel hadn’t made it to S. LA.

Nah
I remember watching Evil as a kid.

Now, Super Dave Osborne?
Not many people gave two flipping shits about Dave, aka Funkhauser.

Well, wrestling is a soap opera, so...yeah, a motorcycle jump is much more challenging thing.

Looks like they are, I looked them up, the 750FTR is currently available and the 1200FTR is due out in 2019. They’re both supposed to be setup for flat track right from the dealership.

Some day he’s going to start feeling those 40 concussions though.

I'm sure he's feeling it. How could he not.

Yes. He is a trooper, for sure. Did you see where he was married in a walking boot and still did his first dance. Was on crutches for a month after, but that night, nope.

You sure about that?

What kind of bike did Evel Knievel ride?

He started-off on a 350cc Honda, switched to a 750cc Norton in 1966, then Triumph from 1966-1968, Laverda 750cc American Eagle from December 1969 to April 1970, and in December 1970 Harley-Davidson became Knievel's sponsor and he began riding an XR-750– the bike he is most commonly associated with.

Those bikes aren't even close to those iron lung bikes Knievel was using back in the day...

These jumps are nothing for Pastrana...

Edit: He just admitted they were lighter and faster..lol

He should do these on Evel’s bikes that don’t have 40 extra years of development in them
