He was my sporting hero when I was about 7.
I had the Action figure too... with his stunt bike.
RIP EK

Had hours of fun with the stunt bike, one of the very few toys that actually done what was shown in the adverts. Also sent him into space on the end of a rocket one firework night and found him on a roof about 9 years later!!

Another of our childhood heroes takes their leave.
I liked this quote from his friend/promoter:
Longtime friend and promoter Billy Rundle said Knievel had trouble breathing at his Clearwater condominium and died before an ambulance could get him to a hospital.
"It's been coming for years, but you just don't expect it.
Superman just doesn't die, right?"
said Rundle,
RIP
