I had a YZ 80 and an Evil Kneivel cape. Who am I?

You know who you are?

The great thing about working with the public is you get to meet so many interesting people. Some last names are just not that common, so when you see a name like that you just have to ask, "Do you know.....?" Anyway, I took the opportunity to get some dirt on you.

OK...OK...I'm busted!
I earned enough money working two summers in a row and scraped enough money to buy my first dirtbike. A YZ80. Silver metal gas tank and fenders. I loved that bike. I bought it from Donnell's on Truman road back in 1978. My uncle Bill worked there and hooked me up. I built a ramp and starting jumping these little wooden barrels that nails came in (I think). Every time I cleared a certain amount of barrels I would add one.
Evil Kneivel was my hero. So when I got up to 10 or twelve barrels I decided I need a cape also. When my Dad drove down the Highway next to our pasture and saw me jumping....Well let's just say I didn't do any more jumping....at all...ever...
