My brother runs a site that covers motorcycle events and news in the Northwest called www.biker-events.com
Many of his articles are not in my niche, but one struck me as I hadn’t heard the news Evel Knievel died last night at the age of 69.
This was a guy who, whether he was an entertainer or just a motorcycle rider, touched and inspired millions of people who sat in the audience and witnesses a man that redefined the limits every day of his life.
In all my efforts, I can only hope that in some strange way my life interacts and influences so many people. To have a talent to inspire the crowd, to leave them in awe, and to believe that something impossible really is possible.
As my brother says “Check out his website www.evelknievel.com and take a moment to send a thought to him and his family on this sad weekend.”
That’s a great quote from Evel Knievel, and it says a lot about what kind of guy he was way beyond what one might think of someone who lived the life he lived. It’s refreshing to see a guy of his stature and significance not take himself too seriously, many many lesser people do.
