CLEARWATER, Fla. (AP) -- Evel Knievel, the hard-living motorcycle daredevil whose jumps over Greyhound buses, live sharks and Idaho's Snake River Canyon made him an international icon in the 1970s, died Friday. He was 69.

Reason: [cut - too much of the article reposted]
That's a shame - being born in the 70s, I grew up with Evel all around me. What a cool dude he was, what an awesome life he lived. Too bad it was cut short, but watch the vultures swoop down today on ebay for anything Evel. I still have my little Evel doll but plan to never sell it.
the mind set and illusion that everybody makes it to 85 sittin on the beach in pensacola suckin on a daiquari, just aint so.
i read the obiturary the other day. 50% were younger than me, im 59.
its a short stay make the most of it.
There's another one for the Celebrity Relationship thread. Not me, a very attractive friend of our family. It seems Evel was so taken with her that he asked her to run away with him. Back in the 70's, I think before the Canyon jump.
