Sad news indeed. He was the first of an entire genre of daredevils.
RIP and Godspeed to a TRUE American! Harley's all the way for EK.

Yeah his XR 750 was a real nice H-D for sure

Bubba Blackwell still jumps with one. He is supposed to be in Muskegon Michigan next summer to break a world record using his XR-750. Bubba is a super nice guy and the best bike rider I have ever seen!

I knew Bob.
Since one should speak no ill of the dead, I have nothing to say about him.
I'd like to wish him happy landings.

I snapped a bunch of pix from your link. Only 69? Shame.
