The little lady and I drove over to Butte (MT) yesterday, about a 2 hour drive and paid our respects to Evel, they had a real nice ceremony for him. There were a few celebrities there that shared some of their experiences with him, they had some good stories to tell. They had a display of some of his photos, a truck of his and his headstone was there also. But no bikes of his, I was kind of surprised. There were 3000-5000 people there, depending on who you talk to. Here are links to some photos we took and one that was in the paper this morning:

Nice gesture on your part Bob. Thanks for showing up.

 

He was certainly an interesting fellow with a pair of steel *****. Doubt they'll be another like him

Something about looking ata photo of a dead guy in a casket that gives me the *******.

RIP Evel.

 

Very entertaining fellow as I was growing up, but he lost something for me when he built a rocket and labeled it as a bike.
Looking at the pictures it appears he is still trying to be entertaining and has a Vegas appeal to the funeral.
Huge brass *****, good marketing, entertaining. Angels fly with wings he will fly with a bike.

RIP Evel

 

And thanks for posting the pictures.

 

How cool to be able to go to his funeral.

They put the rocket on his headstone! Ok, just me, or is that weird? Maybe he thought that was the penicle or something, but I would think a motorcycle would be there! I'm also surprised they didn't bury him in his "costume". I watched some of this on TV. Maybe they will air more. It was interesting. He sure made a lot of people want to ride and have fun! The father of daredevil, that's for sure.

Thanks for sharing pics.

 

RIP Evel.

 

Another smallpart of what made America great is gone. R.I.P. Evel.

 

I wonder if his arrogant self centered , self serving son Robbie had enough respect to show up.

 

I take it you know him personally,,what he'd do to you???
