I'm suprised he lived as long as he did. Now I wonder if this will throw Robby Knievel into more of a downward spiral.

RIP. He lived in Clearwater, Fl. Ned from the Bubba the Love Sponge show wrote a song about him. It was pretty funny. (With no disrespect). I guess he wrote it because he was in a bad mood all the time.
