i was 4 years old in this pic,i remember this bike well! the tires were not pnuematic, they were solid rubber and the the seat was solid plastic, but i loved it! i'd use the seat off of a bigwheel as a ramp and i was a stuntman! and yes, i jumped even with the training wheels on it! aaaaahhh, thank god i never grew out of enjoying the life's more simple pleasures!

So how many Evil Knievel toys did you have?

i had the one where evil and motorcycle sat in a contraption that i wound up with a lever that went in circles, it made motorcycle noises when i cranked it, then when it released evil and his bike would take off, it was awesome!! i wish i had one now just for old times sake. i wonder what kind of bike that was that i had, i dont remember where they got it at.

Sounds like you's describing the Evel Stunt Cycle. That thing was great. I still have mine from when I was a kid. It holds a prominent place on a bookshelf in my home. You can still get them. Check Amazon or Fleabay.
