One can only imagine what was going through his mind at 0:24...

If i remember correctly he was unconscious in a coma for a month in hospital after the Caesar's Palace crash, just can't understand how he survived so many crashes...

Yup, I have owned that album for many years.

And yes, my carpet is purple.

I got the Xmas one a couple of years ago, its great.... Have you noticed how more or less any song a actually works as a 'cat song'......I do it all the time but.. people tend to look at me in rather a strange way......

Somewhere round the place I have one of these, knight cigarette lighter..I think they were German , used to see them occasionally years ago..
The top of the helmet flips up and sparks to light petrol wick...

Its weird falling off bikes, horses whatever, ( having done both on numerous occasions).. the brain probably does some self protection thing, hard to describe, you're not really aware in the same way you might think, I've never thought ''s*** I'm going to die'' when falling off fast moving objects!...other friends who've also come off bikes have described the 'slow motion' effect, almost like you're watching yourself...again difficult to put into words, poor old EK nearly made that jump too, just lost the steering on the ramp coming down!

I would imagine those are hard to sit on.

...and those SST cars were so much fun, too...

I think they are SSP's. The "T" must be from the T strip.

Evel Knievel was brilliant...! Now that's what I call entertainment...in a Roman Arena kind of way
Shame about the 433 bone breaks he suffered thru his career tho..some guts eh?

I’m just thinking “Tuck and roll”.

I think the idea is to squat over it rather than sit on it!!!
Some of the old full size toilets were a work of art tho, years ago we had one like this, unfortunately got smashed..

There was a thing for novelty chamber pots going way back...

Good name for a band with Anti Splash Thunder Bowl

While on the subject, the water delivery system on the old toilets was a heavy engineering job!
Notice the makers name...hence the expression.. Crap..

My brother had one of those--he still might--and he's not that old...

These are still made; but, not like this.
