Hands up who owned an Evel Knievel stunt cycle.
Unlike the real Evel, mine went out in a blaze of glory. The stunt involved dousing Evel in lighter fluid. I wound like fury, my brother ignited, and Evel shot out of the bedroom window at a terrific rate of knots.
Unfortunately, Evel never lined his jump up properly, and nudged the curtain on the way out. A little mayhem ensued.
To say we couldn't sit down for a week would be an understatement.
