He had a big hand in making motorcycle stunt riding into what it is today.

I watched a special on him on the History channel not too long ago. Brought back cool memories of when he was king in the 70's. He wasn't afraid to "go for it". Many people thought he was crazy and egotistical, but I have always thought he was an adventurer.

RIP Robert!
