    Default I love Evel Knievel and the MC5

    So I am not spending the bread when I can roll my own, I want a mutt anyway and a G for a trib to Wayne is cool but that is exactly what the Mira is costing me and it is 4x the guitar Fender is popping out. It's gonna get blue pins on the edges of the red stripes, hard to tell but once the clear coat hits it the red is flake with a multi-color sparkle to bring out the additional Evel within.

    Ironically, my son and I went to a Harley shop today and they had an XR750 there and I was telling him that is what Evel used to use..

    You can edit the thread title. Just double right next to it from the main guitar shop board.

    I made Major Matt Mason fight Evel once. Evel won.
    I'm Rich, I'm Beuatiful! <p>

    ...okay, I'm not rich.

    You know you think of a putz like Charlie Sheen with his winning BS and then think of Evel. Evel would've eaten CS's liver right out of his body while he still was alive.

    I fully expect Kevlar to be here soon and I will be massively disappointed if he doesn't show up with his cool Evel stories.

    One of my fave covers of KOTJ is by an NYC band that should've popped but no one loved us here in NY. Can't find the vid so here is a different one by them.

    BLITZSPEER!

    my dad used to call Evel: Awful Knawful.. Just to get my goat... My first dirt bike helmet was a white full face that I painted blue stripes and star stickers on. And I had a shirt that was printed like Evels jumping suit.. Yeah, I was obsessed.. I vowed as a kid that I was going to jump (and succeed) the fountains at Cesars.. So, when Gary Wells failed, I was relieved.. But when Robbie did it...%!#$!#%#!%!

    Ok, Ill shut up about it now.. hahaha
