Death was reported today from Diabetes & complications due to lung problems.

Definitely an inspiration to us all here in the US. I grew up watching this guy on television and he definitely contributed to my facination with motorcycles.

RIP, Evel.

I seen this earlier today, and I was just about to post this.

Very, very sad. He definitely pioneered quite a number of things.

Rest in peace!

I have been thinking about it for a while now, and I always thought that we would have seen him go out doing a stunt.

This one has just hit me hard

Did Evil inspire the Xtreme sports pioneers? I'd say he definitely played a huge role there.

Yeah, my thoughts exactly.

RIP Knievel, you will be missed.
