Mee too bub
Me too! I had the Evil Knievel wind up bike and ramp in the early seventies.. probably my best toy ever!
@@Michael.Walker. I remember them, since I was born in 73, and had one myself. Very sad and depressing. He was a Soldier, Uber Talented like his beautiful human being of a father, and a Legend. The epitome of a Motorcycle Riding Master.

Hell yeah I ate shit all the time trying to be this dude
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. R.I.P. Robbie. May God bless you infinity 🙏
Hi how are you doing.

Robbie had (with a K) "KAPTAIN KNIEVEL" painted on his Harley.
Here in BRAZIL we loves Family Knievels. Thanks Kaplan America
Amen to your closing message. I'm 58 and grew up with, "the thrill of victory... and the agony of defeat" and never missed an Evel Knievel jump...RIP Robby Knievel.
Hi Scott how are you doing.
@@mariarusso1155 good thanks, and you?
@@scottwright388 I’m doing good thanks for asking Scott nice to meet you here.
Me Too! Nothing about Kaptain Robbie on the news in the last 3 weeks I'm just finding out this Morning!
Leaving the bike unrestored is what makes it a museum piece. RIP Robbie, thank you for sharing Ken.
NEVER ouch it, leave it be...
Robbie's manager reached out to me for video footage I had that they didn't - I felt privileged to help. Referring to this video, Kaplan speaks from the heart and with true passion. Terrific homage to Robbie and words of wisdom to finish. Can't ask for anymore. R.I.P Robbie.
Amen! Great tribute!
Yep. Good man here. Who else noticed the video cut just before he choked up? Lots of memories and emotions being stirred up right now. I’m 53 and looked up to all these guys as a kid.
Can remember seeing that black and white pic of Robbie and thinking he was the most b@d*ss dirtbiker EVER.
♥️ RIP ♥️
I'd like to see this footage you speak of. Is this like Bruce Lee's secret training that nobody has seen? Post it.
RIP Robbie! I'm glad you are reunited with your father again and forever. 🙏
Probably not.
Rip to a legand

Legend? Never heard of him until now.
@@20alphabet your probably a beta

I got chills when you lit up Robbie's bike out of the drive way. Thanks for a great tribute to an American icon. RIP
I'm surprised he didn't crash tbh. Dirt bike tires on wet roads aren't friends
im english watchrd his dad jump the buses rip
@@Arthurian.that’s the difference between a man who rides a bike and a man who is one with a bike.
@@TheMotorheadz stop it, I've been riding my whole life. That goes out the window on wet roads, which he did get squirrelly on.
😭💔🙏🏻 Rest in peace. You and your Dad are legendary.
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 🌎.
I like that your keeping it as a time capsule, I wouldn't change a thing on that bike. Cheers.
R.I.P from all us Knievel fans here in New Zealand 🇳🇿
Nz in the house 👍
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.
As a kid I loved Evil Knevel, then Robbie became the man for my generation and every time he had a jump it was a big event and party. My favorite jump was the one over the moving train. Him and his father lived an incredible life . Rest in peace Captain Robbie Knievel !!
Hi how are you doing.
I still have gravel in my elbows from jumping bikes in my youth. Him and his Dad had a huge influence on my outdoor activities. 🇺🇸
Was watching all his vids last week ! Loved his dad still have the evel kenievel bike game from the 70's . bless a amazing rider , with his dad now , and sortin the wheat from chaff . as farther and son do . i am 53 , lost my dad when i was 24 , he was 52 , Ride and be free xxx
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!!👍 👏 👍 😀
Hi Keith how are you doing.
Perfect tribute. “Heroes get remembered but legends never die.”
OH MY GOD!
R.I.P. ROBBIE KNIEVEL !
Tears roll down my face, so sad.
One of My Favorite CHRISTmas Presents was Evel Knievel's Wind Up Stunt Cycle.
Thank You KAPLAN AMERICA for Such A Great Tribute!
When I was a kid ( 11 or 12 years old Peoria Illinois ) my Dad hated Evel Kenieval because he was sick of having to get this older guy to fix our busted up bicycles . Wheelies and ramps just got longer and bigger . But ..that is why we learned to fix our own bikes and started to save for our motorcycles . I can't remember ever taking our motorcycles to the shop except for a rear wheel we smashed over a double jump . We hadn't learned to lace a rim yet . Thanks to you Evel and Robbie because of you we had a heck of a great life too ! PK
Bloomington area here. Remember Sparland MX track? Man I loved racing there
Born in the same area (bartonville), and lived the same kind of childhood (70s-80s). I think most 70s kids all wanted to be Evel.

@@teamflanneloutdoors5631 I wish I did ... I was just thirteen and our Dad would have never taken us to a moto X track . He took us to a Cubs Cardinal game once ..go kart track once ( I was shoked ) . But he worked hard and a lot of hours so we just didn't go many places . I didnt start racing until I was 17 and bought a small pickup in Oklahoma. My first Moto X bike was a 78 1/2 RM 250 . Loved that bike ! PK
@@EPstroker You sound like me and my brother . We loved muscle cars and moto X bikes ...we even bought our own bikes and first bikes . That was all we cared about . But we had a blast ! PK
Ive watched him over the yrs and Always was blown away by the man's nerve and courage..Just found out he died today, had no idea he had pancreatic cancer...My mom had the same and its a Rough way to go.. I was by her side through it all to the end.....RIP Brother...Legend
As a 51 year old myself, I grew up knowing about Evel, Robbie and especially Eddie as I’m from the UK. I remember I had one of those EK toys that you wound up on this red rotating platform..the bike would then shoot off & you could set it for jumps. So cool.
Anyway, your last words hit hard, we have lost a lot in the last few days with Ken Block as well.. Live every day like it’s your last. RIP Robbie
I have 4 of those Evel stunt cycles in my basement. 👍
They make a retro one now, not as good as the original one. But all my sons and nephews got one on their birthday.
That was one toy I loved as a child. Only if I still had it to pass on to my son.
Saw his dad jump a couple of times. Never got to see Robbie but you did a great tribute to him👏👏👏👏
R I P Robbie.
Really was a great tribute!
yeah I never seen Robbie jump (live) But seen Evil jump at asccot park in the '70's
& got hooked on bikes lol raced mx throughout the '80's but had to quit due
to injuries. Robbie's Dad must have lived in agony from all of those injuries he had, & probably Robbie. They are both American Legends for sure.
RIP to Robbie and also RIP Goes Out to Ken Block. Both legends in their own right. And a sad recent turn of events with the passing of both these legends
R.I.P. Robbie Knievel! Love the bike the way it is!! The best part of this video is Ken taking his time to compose himself throughout the video. Ken great tribute to Knievel!! Respect to both Ken Kaplan and Legend Robbie Knievel!!! Thanks Kaplan Motors!!!
Hi how are you doing.
R.I.P Legend !
Sad day but you paid hell of a great tribute to Robbie and his achievements. You're a true fan, we can tell, no mistake.
Thank you, from France 🇫🇷
Peace and Blessings to a world-wide family…we’re all feeling it for the Knievel family!
Agreed!🙏
Capt America ,this tribute/eulogy has left me speechless ,much love respect fromAustralia
Hi Peter how are you doing.
😢 😭. Rest in peace Mr. Knievel. We'll always remember you.
When I watch you ride Robbie’s bike it puts it even more into perspective just how brave and skilled the fella was, you can certainly ride and a very fitting tribute just by the way you handled that bike and your words so genuine and sincere, I had no idea he passed
Tv sanitizes things so much but seeing the 500 up close with you on it hits home the power and the skill needed to ride in anger and lord knows how Robbie did what he did as it’s a brutal sport
RIP
Rest in peace Robbie. At four and a half years old,in 1975 my Dad brought me to see his Dad jump in Wembley stadium. Possibly the most thrilling and exciting experience of my childhood. Legends.
Cool. My little brother was born in California 1971
my dad was taking me and brother to see evel jump at parkhead on the same tour the Wembley crash cancelled the rest of the UK tour
Your right about my age. That's right around when I was little and had the wind up Evel Kneval motorcycle toy. RIP Robbie.

Awesome tribute 🙏 rest in peace, Rob Knievel
Thank you for during this in honor of Robbie a true American hero. Gone too soon today was my birthday Jan. 13 1958 just turned 65 sad to see so many passing away. R.I.P. to them all.
Wow
Rest in peace, Robbie, a true American legend.
Hi Tim how are you doing.
I was born in 1985 and I grew up watching him and his dad... RIP robbie 🙏 definitely a legend that helped pave the way for what we see today 🙏
Ken, Please leave Robbie’s bike as is
If you restored it that would be like restoring all of Elvis’s guitars ( RIP Lisa 🙏 )
I remember back in the 90's Robbie Knievel was the guy to watch ! I always wanted a 2 stroke dirtbike but my dad always said I will never ever buy you a motorcycle ! But at the age of 30 I bought a blown 06 RM 250 for $400cdn that was basically in parts in 2 boxes. I got myself a shop manual and I rebuilt it from ground up. At 30 years old that was my first ever motorcycle and learning experience ! One of the highlights in my life for sure ! RIP Robbie you inspired me like hell when I was a kid !
Nice starter bike lol.😎👍
@@bobdog4379 I know right ! I already drove Raptor's and Banshee's but never an actual 2 wheeled bike ! And when I saw the add on marketplace and the kid selling it was the street right behind mine I immdiately bought it ! Never regretted a single moment on that bike ! Even bought another one when I sold that one to pay for my daughters braces !
What an amazing piece of bike history to have. That CR500 still sounds awesome too! Great message at the end there. Life is a journey, not a destination. RIP Robbie
The Knievel’s inspired us all as kids…Legend…glad I got to meet his dad and have a drink with him at a bar in Clearwater, Fl when i was 18, what a trip it was to meet your childhood hero. Been on 2 wheels my entire life 🙏🇺🇸✊still sending it at 57yrs old.
My favorite jump was completing the jump his father couldn't... Fountains at Caesar's Palace. EPIC moment!! ✝️
This was a special tribute and my hats off to you for this one Senior🙏🏻❤️🔥🙏🏻
It's not the end, it's the beginning. I know he loves the Lord as does his father. We are sad because he will be missed. We rejoice because he's free.
Nothing but respect for the legend. Rest easy and fly high .
We're losing our heroes at an alarming rate
Everyone dies ….. 😢
They come in 3s
Yeah if you think about it hard enough you'll know why
@@matthewwhite4008 no mention of his demise.. it's not old age, not a stunt gone wrong.....
Yes, I agree! The real alarming aspect is people will still choose not to pay attention to this fact or call it a conspiracy theory and those are just plain brainwashed sheeple!
Great tribute. Rest in peace, Robbie. Loved seeing him continue his father's legacy that I enjoyed as a kid.
Me too, Amen.
Not even a fair attempt at a tribute bike.
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.
I loved Robbie and his father. American Legends. There will never be another father son duo like that again. RIP 🙏
Man, I didn't know that happened. I'm a huge fan of those legends. Leave the bike as it is Kap...what an honor it must be and feel for you to have that in your museum.
Rip Robbie, my generation is dropping like flies. I remember the day in 1974 when his father jumped the Snake River. Also the Caesars palace fountain jump. Robbie was a great career I'm in his own right.
Hi Richard how are you doing.
Excellent tribute brother!!!
RIP Robbie ❤️🇺🇸🏁🙏🏼
What a legend! saw him jump 29 cement rucks at Salinas air show, we were sitting inline with the landing ramp (you could feel the impact) after the jump he turned around and did it AGAIN! god speed Robbie you and you're Dad will NEVER be forgotten. please don't do anything to that bike.
There's no one better to represent him and his bike. We are lucky to have you in the motorcycle community!
Thank you!
What a tribute! Thanks Ken. I remember watching Evel's jumps live on TV and reading any print I could find on him. He was probably the biggest rock star of the 1970s.
Robbie's career is at least as impressive as his father's, though he didn't have his father's bravado and flair for self promotion. Imagine if he did.
I seen Robbie and Evil, at the Calgary international raceway in 1977, I was 11 years old. Caught Robbie mid flight with my Polaroid, jumping over 10 vans. Had Evils toy, watched the Toronto jump, where Robbie made his first appearance. And the Snake river canyon jump. Watched all of Robbies jumps, I always be a fan of theirs, God rest their souls, and thanks for the video.
Wow! Awesome video! I had no idea that Robbie passed. I got the chance to see him perform at Giant Stadium in New Jersey. Great rider. There's nothing as beautifully sounding as a two stroke. Thanks again for this video. My condolence to Robbie's family, and friends. RIP great one!😥
Holy cow this is the first I'm hearing, RIP Robbie, you will be missed.
...I learned all about courage which turned me into an adrenaline junky and that's what I'm most proud of.. You can't teach courage but you can inspire, I want to thank the Knievel family for those breaths of fresh air,,God speed Robbie...
We’ll said!
Wow I didnt know Robbie made that many jumps. Hopefully there will be a video made of all of the jumps He and his Dad made. I remember as a kid getting the Evel Knievel toy motor cycle. Probably my favorite toy of all time. I think they released it again not long ago. Great information, love your ending words. They were really special and brave men who will never be forgotten.
Rip Robbie. Just lost my best friend to pancreatic cancer at 61. Thank you to preserveing his motorbike.
Thank you for that one. Sad day for sure. I'm 55 and watched all the jumps Robbie and his dad did. Thanks for preserving this history. And glad to see you made it back from Saudi safely
Sorry to hear Robbie is gone. Thank you for the tribute
Brother Kap. Thank you for that incredible tribute. I was actually at the Buffalo Chip when Robbie made that jump... fucking amazing... BIG DEEP BREATHS... we are getting older and guys like you help us get on with it. I love my KTM 450, I'm 57 and fuck yes... KEEP LIVING it.
How sad. I remember when Evel would do a jump on TV, the streets were empty, and we were all glued to the TV. Robbie was just as amazing as his father: fearless, patriotic, genuine. Much love for them and their family.
Rest In Peace. You are greatly missed. And may God comfort your family.
❤
I remember. It seemed like the whole country stopped what they were doing to watch Knievel do his thing on Wide World Of Sports. After he finished, the adults would go back to what they were doing, and we kids would be talking about it for days.
Rest in Peace Robbie Knievel
Thanks to Robbie for all the most inspiring and entertaining years of great performance loved this guy and he passed away on my mother's birthday wow
I grew up watching him with my family. His family was incredible. An inspiration for us all to follow our passions in life. RIP LEGEND
Great tribute Ken. Thank you for your words.
Hi Bian how are you doing.
Still have the VHS tape I recorded the fountain jump on that night.
Robbie and his dad helped us dream as children. They showed us anything is possible.
It’s a sad day in the motorcycle world. That was a great tribute Ken. I’m sure Robbie is smiling at you riding his bike today.
RIP Robbie! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
They were just like us. Americans.
Didnt have an orange stock cr500 tank at Ceasers Palace, did it?
. If this tuber bought this bike believing its an actual authentic Caption Robbie Jump bike, he's been had...Unless it was stolen and thrashed to Holy hell. The knievel equipment was always impeccably maintained.who the hell conned this guy into spending money on this abortion? This so called knievel bike is totally roached.
Amazing tribute. Thanks for this! Please don't touch that bike. As long as it runs good, it's perfect.
Robbie and his dad were extreme sports pioneers. Father and son cultural architects.
Rest In Peace Robbie. I saw your jumps on live TV. Both Robbie and Evel Knievel were the best motorcycle daredevils. The CR500 is a beast.
This was a beautiful tribute Ken. I’ve only read two small news stories, and saw one 4 minute tribute from a reporter that knew the Kenievels. This was awesome.
RIP RK.
R.I.P Robbie. Great tribute to Robbie. Just awesome
Hi Brian how are you doing.
RIP Robbie! Watched You many times! Made your Dad so Proud! Love that you always were a Patriot! 🫡
That was a very nice tribute! RIP Robbie that bike is a great piece of MC history!
Awesome Tribute My Brother Godspeed Robbie Knievel , much love to the Knievel family
What a great tribute Kenny. RIP ROBBIE KNIEVEL I hope your jumps in heaven are high and long and you land safely.
Very nice tribute to an American hero. Never missed his fathers jumps on TV as a kid. Robbie following in his father’s footsteps was a great thing to see. RIP Robbie join your father and jump the heavens.
Very nice tribute ❤
The 1st bike I learned to wheelie was a knievel toy!
Much respect for the

RIP gone to soon never to be forgotten great tribute.
Robbie's bike IS a museum piece. Should stay as is, in his honor and accomplishments.
Thanks for the video.
Like his father. A legend in his own time. R.I.P.
Like father, like son! Amen!
Prayers to the family. Watching someone you love die of this will tear your heart out. I pray they find peace.
I felt that! Great tribute to Robbie...RIP. It was obvious in the way you rode that CR that you were digging emotion. Thanx for a powerful tribute buddy.
Hi how are you doing.
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…
Were going to miss you Robbie!
This bike is a memorial, and so glad you did not disrupt the heritage of it. Thanks for sharing! "do the thing you love, and tell all the people you love you love them" We are never promised another breath..God Bless
Thanks Kap for the great tribute to Robbie and his Dad. BIG part of my youth. Not going to see anything like them again. Had all the toys as a kid. In the 70’s 80’s kids in the neighborhood all doing bicycle jumps saying their Evel Knievel!!!
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.
iLife is truly short brother. I,m 60 and where has it gone. I did my Best like a lot of vets. I hope one day people will appricate our sacrifices. So they can go out and let the air run through their hair. Rip Robbie
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.
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.👍
He was born into the daredevil life . 🇺🇸 It's what pushed the free ride world into full send he will be missed.A true icon godspeed Robbie
As a kid I had every Evil toy on the market. To this day I feel this is why I have motorcycles in my life. Father and son will be missed as great jumpers. RIP and thank you!
I totally forgot about those .I'm 52 I know what incredible memories not found in years due to that comment .Ty I just remembered the evil Knievel motor cycle pretty big 10 inches or so but you backed it up in a Shute with a crank handle to spin back wheel fast as you could n push a button it flew .bet kids these days have no clue about these n more lol what great memories even after passing these men still give .Ty sir for the memories u just triggerd and the those 2 men for creating them .god bless
@@colinharvey4047 I still have that toy in working condition. Great stuff wasn't it. Hours of fun!! Lol!

Do people do donuts on your lawn?
Thanks for posting. Not a word of this in British media. Condolences from Wales.
There was a post in the Daily Mail and The Sun but apart from that nothing.. No BBC, no Sky news etc. Was surprised tbh.. RIP Robbie Poodle Canoodle !! 🐩🇺🇲🛵😢
We are losing so many people that I have looked up to this year so far. That man was iconic. Rest in Bliss brother, you changed a hell of a lot of lives and kept a lot of people waiting for your next move your entire life.
Leave that bike exactly as it sits. 💯💪🇺🇸💪💯
