That's sick not sic!

Is this the legacy that Evel intended to leave behind?

I think those cheesy motorcycle toys that myself and many other youth played with as kids will leave a better lasting impression of what Evel stood for than these cheesy unimaginative choppers.

I hope this is a flop and disappears like Evel's rocket bike as it plummeted into the Snake River gorge!

Long live Evel, the coolest MF'er on two wheels.

P.S. How many times did you rack your nuts on your stingray trying to recreate an Evel Knievel stunt?
You got that right! 
  Used to ride my banana seat bicycle off a short board 7 brick high ramp when I was 7 years old. Talk about getting airborne.
I waited all evening watching World Wide Sports to see the snake river rocket cycle  jump .To my disappointment, just see Eviel crawl out of the canion with a bloody noise.
Yeah......don't need a cheezy clone bike.

Yeah - but they probably wouldn't like US unless we smelled like Drakkar or Polo - I'm betting luscious scent of slightly burnt gear grease, high octane, and three days worth of ridin' in the wind would not appeal to these little tarts ......  ::)

This must be Robby, the son right? I'm sure this has the old man spinning in his grave.  I'm sure Evil would have something to say about the "Temporary Tough Guy" on the main page!

The last time I rode to Eureka Springs I saw the Harley crowed lined up down the block to get tattoos air brushed on, I nearly fell off the Enfield laughing. Temporary tough guys, I love it.
On the eighth day God created the C5, and it was better looking than anything on the planet.

  But if you're a yupper/yuppie you can't be seen with them Monday morning at the office..might start an uproar.  And wifey DEFINITELY wouldn't approve, won't even mention the turd in the punchbowl reaction from mom in law. :D :D
