I met Robbie when I was bartending at a casino back in the 90’s. He and his crew were passing through and stayed overnight at the hotel there. It was a slow night and so I was able to visit with him and get to know him a little bit for a few hours. He was a super cool guy and a complete gentleman. He was a very spiritual and kind person.

Robbie used to come over to my dad's house, and sometimes, we would go out to the desert where he would practice riding for upcoming shows. He would ride all over the area doing those super slow break stop wheelies. His girlfriend at the time would hang on in the back, and her hair would drag on the ground. It was incredible to watch. He was a great guy, an amazing bike rider, and he was always very kind to me. I haven't spoken to him in many years, which greatly saddens me hearing that he left us way too soon.

Thank you for preserving this monumental motorcycle in honor of an amazing all American hero to many. R.I.P. Robbie. We will never forget the thrills you and your father gave to the world 🌎.

Hi how are you doing.

Thank you for the touching memorial to Robbie, I just turned 60 and had the honor being a rabid fan of Evel also, as a kid we would ride dirt bikes from sun up to sundown all summer long it seemed, but when Evel had a jump we would all gather at one kids house and all just be glued to the tv and holding our breath, but then when he made it we would all go blasting out the door so we could all pretend we were him, and then there's Robbie oh my gosh I had just as many oxygen robbing moments with him. I could feel your true sadness while doing this video, and my helmets off to you for being able to get through it as good as you did, I seriously doubt I could done as good of a job knowing that's his bike, I got chills a few times when you were riding it and I'm sure he was looking down and thanking you for riding his motorcycle the way it was meant to be ridden, Just what an incredible honor to be in possession of such a historical motorcycle. As far as the leave the motorcycle as is or restore it question, 🙏 please , please! leave it just the way it is , just as Robbie had it , the second you do anything, it's no longer Robbies bike, it's your's. If you asked me to pick my favorite between the father or son ? well they each have there super powers and brought me so much spine tingeling entertainment, but Evel was my hero growing up and I just have so many fond memories of that time of my life, I still remember one of the things Evel would say at a jump was always wear a helmet(before this I rode half the time without one),after that I always wore one, it was the seventies much simpler times, it was pre video games and the world was our playground, so sorry I got lost on memory lane for a moment and way off topic here, which was Robbie Knievel , I remember the morning my wife came in and told me she had just heard he had passed, (she knows I'm a huge fan ) I have a signed poster I got after we drove a few hours to watch Robbie jump at the Chinook Winds Casino in Lincoln City , Or, what a treat that was, so glad I stood in that very long line to get my poster signed, and he was very gracious , shook my hand , said a very warm and genuine hello and nice to meet you, I left feeling the appreciation and love he had for all his many! many!, fans. And I know this might seem weird but when my wife told me Robbie had passed, it just seemed it was truly the end of an era of true motorcycle super heroes, I know there's a few others that are awesome in there own right, but in my book no one could match the showmanship and mystique of Evel and Robbie Knievel, thanks so much for posting this video, it was so awesome to run acrossed this while searching for Robbie Knievel videos tonight , Thank you!!👍 👏 👍 😀

I watched Robbie and his dad's shows when I was a kid and it left a lasting impression on me for sure. I have countless injuries from going 100mph with my hair on fire and soaring a few stories above the earth. My last bad injury was in 2008 I cased a double and did the worm down the landing face at over 70mph broke my shoulder in 7 places, tore my infraspinatus tendon, dislocated my wrist, thumb, hip and cracked my sternum. My feet came up over my head and I slid on the top of my helmet feet vertical for over 35 feet. My son and buddy Fred thought for sure I had broke my neck and was dead. I got up shook it off and rode 3 more laps like that before packing it up. 29 weeks in physical therapy later I was back on a bike ripping it up. My wife doesn't understand my infatuation with MX bikes and why at 50 I still suit up and go play in the dirt. I told her this, "age is a number, youthfulness is a state of mind and passion is mind over matter, if I slow down, become over cautious for the rest of my life, then it will become very mundane, and I will die a miserable death." "If I die going for it in the dirt then at least I go out doing something exhilerating and that I am passionate about." Yes indeed, I am more than old enough to think better of the idea, but hell I'm still too young to give a damn and boy am I having fun! R.I.P Robbie, may you and your pops entertain the masses in Heaven with the greatest father & son stunt show on earth.

Hi how are you doing.

What a great tribute video for Robbie. As a young boy I always loved when Evel would be on tv doing a jump. For whatever reason I really remember his attempt at Snake River. Great decision on leaving Robbies bike as is. Again, great video.

Robbie's bike IS a museum piece. Should stay as is, in his honor and accomplishments. Thanks for the video.

Excellent tribute, RIP Robbie from over here in England, United Kingdom !! 💯🛵👌🇺🇲😢

Giving me the chills 😭😭 R.I.P Robbie !

Like his father. A legend in his own time. R.I.P.

Like father, like son! Amen!

Good job honoring our idols! Robbie will be missed!! TRUE LEGEND!! THANKS SR.

RIP Robbie, I grew up watching an idealized him an his dad growing up. One of the reasons I was so into motocross, hill climbing, hard to replace them as they were real deal. Awesome tribute thanks for keeping the spirit alive brother.

R.I.P. Robbie Knievel . Thank you for doing this video and refreshing my memory of Robbie and Evel Knievel .

respectful tribute. you are a good man kaplan.

Thank you. I'll never forget watching Evel and Robbie on TV. Great video RIP Robbie

Being born in 71 I remember all this as well. My Evel Knievel toy wind up motorcycle toy was my favorite! You'd wind that sob up so fast & stop it so quick to send him flying across the family room into anything it wasn't supposed to be slamming into. But my dad never minded cuz he was the reason I was into all of my extreme racing. May you RIP Robbie! Just lost my Mother 1/2/23...Please give her a hug for me! God Bless!

Got an Evel stunt cycle for Xmas when they first came out. Bought a few off Ebay a couple years back, was great embarrassing myself in the driveway as a 58 year old kid jumping homemade ramps.👍

Thank You Mr. Kaplan for a very touching tribute. Your ride on the Honda had me on the edge of my seat.

Thank you for the wonderful tribute to RK, I’m a tad older and I remember vividly the Wide World of Sports jumps by Evel, never missed a jump…. Without these Trail Blazers there wouldn’t be a Travis Pastrana, Ken Block or even a Tony Hawk…
