I suppose in this era of "Safety at Work" Evel would not have got past the drawing board stage with the majority of his unique riding skills so I am pleased that I witnessed some of his cunning stunts when they were "allowed".

I remember a young lad, after seeing Evel jump a few buses, saying to his Dad "That man isn't really EVIL is he !"

Are the Purple Helmets going to add a tribute to Evel in their programme ?
