Saw a documentary about EK and in one part thay are following him around the playground with his grandkids who have all got Hoffman EK's

I nearly cried, bet that dont appreciate them for what thay are, probably get treated the same as a Walmart special.

Brilliant ad - keep the info coming fellas...

Just been going through some old Ride magazines and found the press release for the forthcoming EK special edition in the news section of the Aug/Sept 98 issue. It's interesting because the bike shown is a modified Condor (a bigger gusset welded in) with painted love handles, a plain black seat and chainring...clearly they had a re-think before final production.

evel knieval was a loon
jumping anything on that 2 ton harley was insane!

Not yet Mr. Dan... but, hopefully won't be too much longer... eh?

A couple of people have said leave it as an F&F, as that is how it was originally sold, what does everything else think?

I think you should do what you want to do, either way it will look great.

yay!!

seriously though, what a photo it would be if you set up some ramps and jumped a car on it, in an evel k suit.

or find some one to do the jump for you

i bet there are some stuntmen on here ready to take up the challenge . . . . . .

Stodgy · « **Reply #89 on:** November 30, 2006, 02:50 PM »

Yep - would be cool!

on a lads back and he got upto around 45mph on a mountain bike ..

No toys anymore, but I did pick this up off the bay.

I'm using it for my Evel bmx parts - not sandwiches
