I remember the GREATEST toy I ever had...like EVER was the E.K. motorcycle with that orange handle that you'd put the bike in, then crank the handle around real fast to get that rear wheel of the bike spinnin' then "boom"....that bike would haul ass!

I even had his "RV/Motorhome" toy...

A true American Icon...RIP

I remember gathering around the televeision with my folks when I was very young to watch some of his jumps, most notably the Caesar's Palace jump and Snake River Canyon.

[96redvette]

that guy was the real deal!! i heard he beat somebody with a baseball bat because they printed some bad stuff about his family in a book or something like that! thats the reason people liked him, he always stood up for what he though was right. he was the "average joe" that showed people that they could do whatever they wanted if they put their mind into it.

There is a company that now sells that toy and it is being made again here is a link Betty's Attic.

My hero when I was a kid.He was one of the most cool icons.He always carried a pistol and a walking cane that was also a big blade if you pulled the end off.He was a crazy s.o.b.
