I thought it was spelled with a E i had it that way at first but changed it, oh well.

...AND he did all his stunts on good 'ole American iron with 2.5 inches of suspension travel, no handling and 500+ lbs. kudos to him and Bubba Blackwell for taking his place. I think Evel's son is a chump jumping everything with a CR250 Chassis with a 500CC engine stuffed in it... 13" of front and rear travel and it probably weighs 250lbs max. Most common folk just see 2 wheels and think "OOH, motorcycle" , but there's a big GD difference in my opinion.... shouldn't even be in the same record book without 10 astericks next to them... /// rant off.

YEAH RIP to a good 'ole American hero.
