Golf is his new passion and he attacks it with the same vigor that he used to reserve for racing up plywood ramps. It was on the golf course that he met his
current girlfriend Krystal Kennedy, 29 (in 1998). Evel's long suffering wife Linda stood by him during the endless affairs and high jinx of his life. But now they live separate lives. "She was byching too much, and I can't live with that," Evel explained. "You know, I wasn't put on this earth to sit and listen to byching all the time. I was put here to have fun. "A woman is for loving and caring for. Who said they have to bych? I have got no time for all that."
Evel's stance on women has been tainted by years of having them fawn all over him.
He estimates he has slept with 2,000 of them and says he has met only a few who could resist him. "I had about two a week," he said without a hint of exaggeration. "My record was eight in one 24-hour period. "It got to be a real problem. I had to see a psychiatrist. I asked him why it was that women kept throwing themselves at me and he explained it like this. He said, 'look, to start with you are not a bad looking guy. Secondly, your identity is danger, women, their chemistry, are attracted to danger. Then you are Evel by name, but not by nature, so you won't harm them. Women unhappy at home looking for an affair are just drawn to you like a magnet. You stick out lick a sore thumb.’ "I guess he was right. I am not bragging. It was true. I had to have security guards keep women from my hotel room."
Even today, he still holds the same attraction to women. In 1986 Evel's wicked ways made headlines again. After a night of drinking, Evel led an amorous woman back to his hotel room. "I had no idea she was the woman of the guy I had been drinking with," Evel said. Furious, Evel's drinking buddy persuaded the hotel's front desk to give him a key to the room where Evel was having his evil way with his lady. "He opened the door, punched me in the nose and broke it. I sued the hotel for giving him the key and they had to pay me $33,000." Such tales just add to the lore of Evel.
Now Evel has found happiness in the arms of 29-year-old Krystal, a former golfer for Florida state university. "Boy, she is a good golfer. She is a great girl." The age difference doesn't appear to bother either of them. "I don't see what the fuss is about," Evel says when asked about it. "I have had young women, I have had old women. So what?"
Even now, Evel has a flippant view of women, probably because he has found them so plentiful over the years. "You know, women are the root of all evil. And I know, I am Evel. "Look at Adam and eve. It wasn't Adam who picked up the apple, was it? Ghengis Khan, brought down by a woman. "That ain't going to happen to me. Maybe me and Krystal won't be together forever. You know, women seem to forget who it is who buys the diamonds.
"Women are like buses. Good to ride on for 15 minutes. But they forget that if you get off, there will be another one along in 15 minutes. And another one, and another one."
