  1. When I was young, right after the civil war, I raced Moto Cross. Started with an Elsinore 125. Mellow little European style GP courses. Tracks today are insane. You need your pilots license to get on one.

  2. The Knievels were show men. And quite often got over their skill limit. Here’s a real tragedy. Watched this guy crash so hard at Hang Town he dislocated both hips. All of Team Honda stopped to make sure he was still breathing. The dude could ride. I also watched him dominate Huricane Bob Hannah two months later at the Oakland Coliseum. Pretty sure it was the inspiration for this band.

    He took is wife with him in that wreck. I’m thinking that’s maybe the way she would have wanted to go.

  3. I’d just like to report that me and the Mr. are still breathing. And walking. And talking. And not dead.

    After eating a huge steak dinner with copious amounts of red wine. Feeling fine.

    Carry on.

  4. R.I.P. Robbie Knievel. I’m not familiar with his work. No one should die at 60 YOA from prostrate cancer; since it only effects toxic males, the search for a cure will consist of smoke and mirrors. Although maybe now that men can have piss flippers and have babies, that may change!
