Halloween Evel
Posted in Neutral on Oct 31st, 2008
I saw the coolest Halloween costume ever on the freeway this afternoon. Unfortunately, I didn’t have my camera with me so I didn’t get a picture. I was tooling down the 101, heading north through the Cahuenga Pass near Hollywood Bowl, when I saw a motorcycle coming up on me in the left hand lane.
White helmet with stars… White jumpsuit… V-neck pattern of white stars on a blue border… Cape flying behind him in the wind… It was Evel Knievel!!!
I stuck my arm out the window and gave him a big thumbs-up as he passed. In return, he gave me a very Evel-esque wave of acknowledgement. It was a cool moment for me — I was in the presence of motorcycling royalty. Well, by proxy, at least. And he was on what I think was a Yamaha rather than a Harley. But still, it was pretty damned cool.
Evel lives! At least on Halloween…
