Oh and Robbie is not the most famous daredevil in the world. That honor belongs to Travis.
when this travis fellow becomes a house hold name, there will still only be one EVEL! as a kid growing up in the 70s there wasent a kid around that dident jump his peddle bike using a cement block and a plank. (by no means trying to start an argument, just saying..)

Travis already IS a household name lol and still has a show on Speed. And again, we were not talking about Evel, we were talking about Robbie being the most famous daredevil in the world (current).

Old man was and still is the King of stunt riders imo but this whole school bus jumping thing has run its course and is getting a little old.

I bet Robbie's XR-750 will make considerable more power, be lighter and be better suspended than Evel's Harleys ever were.
