SEVENTY-SIXTIES

Had a pretty crappy day today. I came home and cheered up when I found this cool set of pics I took in 1999 when US BOMBS came to stay with us for a couple of days.I gave the prints to Duane the next time I saw him at the Blackpool punk weekender in 2000 and the shots finally see the light of day on his official website http://duanepeters.net/
There is shots of our kitchen (hasn't changed at all) my chopper, the backyard ramp, my Evel Knievel BMX and even my little Honda CM200 flat tracker being built in the workshop!!

UPDATE:
I actually did a more indepth post about the time The U.S. Bombs came to stay when I first started this blog, Almost a year to the day!

VERONA EXPO part two... EVEL KNIEVEL EXHIBITION

The Evel Knievel exhibition was on display at the show. It all packs into a big trailer and is on tour throughout Europe for all of 2011. The blue leathers are the ones he wore for the Wembley Stadium Jump. Also on display was the Canyon Sky Cycle (complete with damaged nose cone) his XR750 he used for the jump over the tank of sharks, the EK Dragster and the Jet-Bike. The highlight of the exhibition was a skeleton showing all of Evels broken bones........I purchased an EK bathrobe!

DEVLIN 1974

Another influential HANNA-BARBERA cartoon. Based on Evel Knievel it followed the exploits of professional motorcycle jumper Ernie Devlin. Can't tell you much more about it other than they actually used an image of E.K. on his XR750 in the opening title sequence.

Daytona '99 part two

Part Two: Daytona Bike Week 2010 in less than two weeks. Here are a few more shots from our trip in 1999 when we rented a Fat-Boy (motocycle not an obese, teenage gigalo) and met E.K.(will do a more in depth post about meeting him when I got more time)
