    About 40 years ago, I sat on the back patio at a friends house playing with this thing. We got that hand crank wound up as fast as we could muster and launched. 'Ol Knievel took off across the patio like a streak of lightning, not realizing the ride he was was in for. That bike, at full speed, ran right over the golden retriever's tail that was laying on the patio nearby. The flywheel powered rear wheel just kept spinning, as it wound itself up into the hair on the poor dogs tail. The dog, Rose, took off about as fast as the bike did....yelping in fear and running a hundred miles an hour around the back yard, like it was a racetrack. The dogs fear was probably exacerbated by the fact that the 'ol Knievel was still wound up in her tail hair and following her around the yard as she ran. My friend and and I may have both wet our pants that day. I'll never forget that. RIP Derek...miss you, buddy.

      That's bullshit, and I'll tell you why. Kids these days like toys that actually *function*. That's why most of what you see selling these days are robots, bicycles, Nerf guns, airguns, and the like. Kids still go outside, they just don't buy crap. I can almost guarantee you that if more kids knew who Evel Knievel was, they'd be clamoring to buy one of these monsters. I just ordered mine, we'll see what the young kids up the block have to say about it.

    That said, I asked my mum a few years ago whatever happened to it, she said I got bored with it and stopped playing with it, so she eventually gave it to a jumble sale at the the local scouts. Oh well.

    "Daaadddd! I wanna play tooooo!"
    The way Evel's body bounces around the ground, just like in real life! (0:34)
    The way Evel has the chin strap of his helmet covering his eyes, because he knows what horrors are coming. (0:54)

    This was one toy that really lived up to the advertising, & pretty durable. The bike finally met it's end being ridden by my friend's sister's Barbie doll, attempting a daring jump from a 2nd floor window- over a patio, and onto a raised lawn. Unfortunately she failed to clear the retaining wall... . The bike was wrecked and Barbie looked like Ernest Borginine after that impact.
