I think he lived about 30 years longer than he should have. (Considering the way he lived his life.)

I'm with you guys,he started my riding addiction when I got my first wind up evil motorcyle toy. I'll take my hat off to any man that has the grapes to jump crap with an old heavy bike.Too bad bikes hadn't evolved into what they are now for him to play on.

[sm=boohoo.gif]Truly sad news

Man, I have been so busy at work that I did not know this, that guy had balls of steel and you have got to respect that. Evil has been my hero for years and I am truly saddend by this news.
He is the only guy thatI respect more than Chuck Norris.
I am going to drive my ZX-14 to his grave and do a burn out across the mound, Evil would have liked that you know!
I think he would have rather died on a jump. I figure when I am close to being to old to ride, I will go out in a ball of fire on my ZX, like a song said, better to burn out, than fade away...................Whos was that? I have not cried since I was 2 years old but this takes me close!

Salute to the King...........Rocketman

He inspired me to buy my first bike way back in 1974 - a Kawi Z 900 and I'm still alive!
