Legendary motorcycle stuntman Evel Knievel died Friday

[Concord]

I would be willing to bet I was not the only one that had this toy as a youth.

Nope it jumped everything.

Nobody who was a kid in the 1970s — at least a male kid or a few tomboys— will ever forget the man. An amazing American.

Great story. Minnesota Fats has one of the coolest epitaphs on a tombstone ever.

"Beat everyone on earth. Saint Peter, rack 'em up."

Is that really what it says?? You're right, that's beyond cool... and it's completely in keeping with his character...
