No more Evel any more

Posted on December 1st, 2007

Did anyone suffer during the grazed knuckles epidemic around 1975?

Sadly, I had the stupid jet cycle instead of the motorbike which wasn’t nearly as much fun. Still got the grazed knuckles though.

Evel Knievel died yesterday. What strange heroes we had in those days! And how sad that those days are gone:-(

It’s Falcon how much?

In 1523, after a continual onslaught by the Ottoman forces, the Order was ejected from Rhodes and in 1530, under a Spanish Crown/Papal edict, were granted the island of Malta as a perpetual fiefdom in exchange for an annual fee of a Maltese falcon

Lots of pretty pictures too.
