I heard the announcement today on the radio while driving home from work,i was instantly bummed out,alot of my best memories were watching that nut try & jump everything in sight with a Harley.

WTF was he thinking,he rode the worst bike in the world for stunts,no computer aided jump planning,no benifit at all of modern technology,just the basic protective gear & still attempted insane stunts.

One things for sure,Evil was a man amoung men.

One of mine too, I remember when he attempted the snake river jump. I was glued to the TV.

To be frank, it was a miracle he lasted this long, he broke every bone in his body countless times, I too remember the Snake River jump, he was one of my heroes for as long as I could remember. Sadly this is the end of an era.
