Bugger I missed it, anyone get a recording of it? Will pay for postage of an AVI or even VHS if necessary.

[craig]

not here ...i only caught up with the show by default. (had seen promo but forgot)..sent out of the room by daughters for kicking up a fuss about the crap they were watching.....went off to sulk and found it on sbs........if not taped or dvdeed by some one, abc/sbs usually sells copies of most of their shows

I taped it not watched it yet though.

What a hardcore mofo Evel was. That bike had no suspension yet he still kept jumping, crashing, healing, jumping, crashing. Back then there was no pins and screws, just months of traction and plaster. Typical biker, loved booze and women and bikes and cars and planes and choppers.

RIP Evel.

I used to admire Evel till I saw this show. He was a first class . Albeit a rich one. Got to admit he had big gonads though. Had to laugh when he gave the Hells Angels the finger and they beat the crap out of him.
