we had one, not sure if @snuurg.bsky.social still has it definitely suffered more injuries than even the real Evel managed

I had one as a kid .... and the sound of it whirring up still gives me a thrill.

Next to that helicopter thing with the two handles, race n chase, and the millennium falcon I had this was top tier.

Along with the Fisher Price Adventure People ... that parachute saw a lot of action ... along with the yellow plane.

...there's a box, somewhere, that's got the front fork and wheel in it; also a star-spangled door and bonnet, plus one tyre and a ripcord, from my stock car smash up set; also, possibly, the torso and a leg off the monster from that Frankenstein game I had, plus the crank for raising the table... :)

That’s a gloriously specific list.

oh there's more stuff besides, but those are the most vividly etched in memory; pretty sure there's half a gorilla-mould from a 'spooky' shaker-maker set too, plus either or both the chest and head, or the arm with a space gun, from an alien critter Ian brought me back from a trip to Brittany :)

So iconic that there’s one in the case with his actual bike in Museum of American History.

massive racist and anti semite

Thankfully in the 70s over here all we saw was him on a bike.

i obly found out a couple of years ago
