Thaks Evel for all those fantastic jumps, dodgy movies and brilliant motorcycles.

Funny, I always thought his liver would be the thing to kill him after the hepatitis. A realy ledgend, I'll be telling my kids about him.

Gutted..

didn't Kanye West visit him the other day to settle out of court the lawsuit Evel was levelling against him for tarnishing his name in Wests' 'Touch the Sky' video?? Maybe foul play?? Never trust these pesky gangstar rappers..

People always told me motorcycles were dangerous. Well if Evel could do that without killing himself to eventually die with a disease he caught in hospital. Bikes are hardly dangerous are they?

RIP, sad news indeed.

On a slightly spooky note, a girl at work bought me a present on Friday morning to decorate my new desk - a replica of the Evel Knievel friction-wheel thingummyjig toy like the one Richie mentioned. How strange.
