I was lucky enough to have been at Wembley in '75. This small 6 year old was left gutted by the selfish Mr Knievel. All I wanted to see was Knievel take off, or whatever it was, in the Rocket Ship. However as he was incapable of jumping over 37 double deckers or whatever it was, he crashes, spasticates himself and we all have to go home before the Rocket Ship launched. I am not bitter, I have just about got over it, but my lord I hate you Evel Knievel. Bastard.

You forgot two of his most famous jumps - -

Hadn't thought about this in years..I met Evel Kneivel in 1989 at a restaurant in Beachwood, New Jersey. I didn't know what the hell to say to him..I was a little girl when he was super-popular. He was friendly, though, and I thinked he signed an autograph for my brother.
That's all I got.

what about Eviel in a haystack

inglish: Oooh, poor pitiful boy. Got disappointed by the big american man, EK, and just getting over it. What a crock of shit! EK is a true american hero, like John Wayne, Richard Petty, & Dale Earnhardt. These guys knew no fear in their day and took crap from no one. I'm sure EK fucked up the Wembley jump on purpose, just to fuck with you. And you have the nerve to call him a selfish bastard? I went to see EK in Atlanta in about '74. He wiped out in practice the day before, broke his back, and couldn't jump. He still came to the track in an ambulance, got out with a back brace, fired the big MF'n Harley up and pulled wheelies up and down the track, as the crowd went wild! No one gave shit about the jump, they came to see the man and the legend. One of my best memories ever. So, if you can't appreciate the man for his attempts, his successes and his failures, at least don't try to blame him for your weak ass problems.
Fuck you very much.

You know what's brilliant about you T-Fash, is that you 100% back up the statement that most Americans don't have a sense of humour, let alone understand irony. My whole post was a joke you Evel Kneivel loving loser! I am crying just re-reading what you have written, quite astonishing! Well done and now get back to Kinkos and start serving people.

Of course most Americans have a sense of humor. Remember these people voted in Ronald Reagan and George W Bush to run their country. If that's not the most piss-funny thing ever..I'm the Pope

I remember loving EK when I was a kid. Now I realize that today he would be hanging out with Johnny Knoxville.
