I had heard this! I remember watching his movies with that guy who was forever tanned!......? I forget his name, but he was always Evil to me!:o

I hear ya Brian! Evel is the reason I always wanted a motorcycle! He's also the reason I popped a wheelie while giving my mother her first (and last) ride on a motorcycle. Don't ask how that turned out... it wasn't pretty. :p

I remember watching him do some of his most famous stunts on TV, it's still amazing that he lived as long as he did with as many broken bones that he had during his daredevil stages.
