No way! Rest In Peace just doesn't seem right for such a crazy daredevil. What about just have a rest? Will be sorely missed, another icon gone. Anyone remember the wind up Evil Knievel toys as kids where the bike shot off the windey bit, were great
You all got there before m with the windey things
