The Knievel Brand Is Back

I'm in Oregon now, but I grew up in Montana. And Butte's Evel Knievel was a local hero. Evel died last year on Nov. 30. This past Saturday, May 24, his son Robbie was back on the bike.



Good job, Robbie! That's a tough way to make a living. Let's just say Cap'n Robbie's lucky that he's not riding one of those rigid old Harley street bikes his dad used to ride.

Evel sold out Portland's Memorial Coliseum on March 31, 1973.
