While doing some legitimate work, testing a video search engine, I came across this MCN video showing off a Scrambler that Jack Lilley built to commemorate Evel Knievel.

Cheers!

Is it just me or do the Scrams with a 270 crank have a distinctive bark compared to the 360 crank of the regular Bonnies?

hey, anything that's a tribute to my childhood hero is alright in my book

I have fond memories of my Evil Knievel banana seat and jumpsuit.

I didn't have the fire ring but I did have the motorcoach. Also my favorite toy!

The first Scrams had 270-degree cranks, but now they are all 360. The difference in sound probably has more to do with the different exhaust.

[quote=Bluechip;981152]Very realistic too, the arms and legs of my Evel Knievel broke [the wire in his little rubber body couldn't take the beating] and Evel couldn't stay on his bike anymore!

I remember that too. I also remember a few scraped knuckles from winding it up really fast. It had to make that 5 foot span. Or not! Even with the toy it was more fun if it didn't make the jump.

When I still had the 1150 RT, a guy was fool enough to let me ride his Scrambler...did some acrobatics while he cringed, then idled it across a paved parking lot...after the whiplash headache abated I went right down and traded the BMW for a T100...the Scrambler styling and 450 lbs. sucked me right in...but the 360 brought it home to when the world was younger





I don't know about bark...I do know something about bite tho.
