An icon of my childhood, and a great showman.
I had a few of the "wind up and go" toys too.

I had one of those very same Evil Knievel bikes and winders  8-)

Never had the ring of fire, but it was still lots of fun trying to make anything it could jump over, ride on, smash into etc etc etc.

A real character of his time, hang on tight EK  ;)

Alas another of my childhood icons passes... I often wonder what happened to my EK bike!

I always thought he was just too ornery to die... a brilliant showman, and a damn good rider. My world is diminished... :'(
