growing up this guy was all I could think about for a long time, He inspired me to do many foolish things on the bicycle and dirt bike from the age of 3, some of which still cause me pain today. one of which came from the end of a rope. It's almost sad.

I'm pretty sure most all of his records have been broken, only as technology permitted. No one could or would do the things he did on the same Harleys.

now I wonder how many of those old action figures are still kicking around the old man's place.

You'd never believe how many times I've watched this movie, I even pack it around so the kids can't destroy it, the wife said she'd burn it if she had to see it again anyhow.

 

just read the story in this mornings paper.....just think, all those jumps and crazy things he did, defying death only to pass of natural causes. i remember wactching him, in fact happy days did kind of a tribute to him, when fonzy did that big jump in arnolds parking lot.
