Re: RIP Evil Knievel
The black ones are super rare. My brother had one with the dual shifter 5 speed and the tall sissy bar. The dummy sold it at a yard sale years later for $10.
 Maybe at the next reunion everyone can bring their original bikes and we can have a real 1/4 mile race - complete with jumps and wheelies.

Re: RIP Evil Knievel
Steve I had one of those Choppers with the two shift levers, I believe the little one was an emergency brake on the 5 speed. weird?
 Those bikes were really unbalanced for wheelies as evidenced by the scar on my elbow! and they nose dived on any jumps over three feet!

And yes I have the same scars!
