I can't tell you how many times I wrecked my bike trying to be like him.  But he was only 69!  He looked so much older.

evil lived hard, anyone hear his interview on jim rome, if someone could dig that up it was funny as shit.

    Evil's ex wife shot him or some such shit and evil went off saying  in a real gravely voice " Jim if you study history, all the way down through time-all wars, downfall of great men and leaders, there is always a woman as the cause of it.  Women are the root of all evil"

       He was dead serious too.    ;D hahahaha

Henry Winkler was reached for comment during filming of the motion length McGuyver movie.

"Well, I didn't really know him but I'm sure he was a good man.  Why are you asking me this?"

Evel lived hard and he played hard! 

His many failed marriages and his appalling treatment of women are now part of folklore.  He was also disowned for many years by his own son Robby. 

His alcoholism ended at 60 years, and then Evel went under the knife for a new liver. He always enjoyed his powders and punch-ons though.

A true 'mans man'.  He loathed women except for sexual gratification and treated everyone, including his family with disdain.

You will not missed.  A true American-nightmare who made a bit of cash  jumping-his-bike; not to mention his seven broken backs along the way!

As a boy born in 1970, Evel's toys were strewn all around my bedroom. Loved the guy.

As years passed I became aware of some of his alleged troubles. Two of the biggest cliches, booze and broads.

I swear, if men avoided drugs/booze and kept females at arms' length, a majority of the troubles that befall them would cease.

The guy had big balls to do what he did... BIG BALLS...  

(http://cdn.makeagif.com/media/2-15-2015/FeuaWI.gif)

I busted several teeth when I was 9 years old jumping 'big wheels' and trash cans in the back alley trying to emulate him, which cost my parents several hundred dollars (a LOT of money in 1975) in dental work -lol

Nothing wrong with females, just as long as you don't marry them or get them pregnant... then you're fucked.
