    Wow, all factoids in tribute of Robert Craig Knievel, Jr. (1938-2007).

    So now the new name in daredevil stunts is Travis Pastrana?

    It’s obvious Pastrana needs a cool nickname. (Travis isn’t all that memorable.) But what rhymes with Pastrana? Hard to say — I’m not even sure how to pronounce it.

    Let’s see him repeat those jumps on a heavy cumbersome Harley, like Evel did. The guys now days use dirt bikes, much lighter and way more nimble.

    the suspension on evil’s harley was crap for jumping and his bike was way too heavy…evil was a showman…more guts than brains..

    Totally agree, it would be some accomplishment if he had done it with Knievels cycle. Doesn’t mean near as much with 2018 technology.
