You know, he never inspired me to do anything crazy, but he opened my eyes to what was possible. It's easy to forget how groundbreaking his stunts seemed, when you view them from the present era of Moto-X. But to be the first, the one who shows everyone else what is possible; is very special.

Unhappy

Evil was an Icon for the seventies. He did things most of us would not even consider doing. He would not even be fully healed and go and do another stunt. It is sad to see him go.

I also had the wind-up toy motorcycles, the lunch box and other stuff. He did great stunts on some triumphs w/ 4" of suspension

RIP Evil...

I like this one. it has a little of the Hollywood touch but a soundtrack that appeals to the geezer in me. 5 mins.

I consider him to be the original motorcycle hooligan.

Kinda anticlamatic how he passed on for a guy who survived all this.. never missed an episode growing up.
