"Indian" Larry Gone

Saw a blurb on another website that stated Indian Larry of Discovery Channel Chopper Build-Off fame died today.
News reported he was "stunting" (as he was always known to do) lost contol of his bike and crashed.

He will be missed.

That is sad, I liked what I saw in the episode I saw on Discovery. Seemed like a good guy as he helped out Billy Lane to get his bike running on their road trip.

God Speed Larry!!

As bad as it is that he died, you would have to think that is the way he would rather have gone instead of a hospital bed at 80 years old.

Probably so but not so soon. Very sad. I hope to be a perverted tattooed old cuss at 80 and still able to ride. I knew an old man we called Pops who rode till he was 83. He died at the local VA hospital. We carried his Harley in my truck with his boots and ashes strapped to the seat out to the beach and scattered his ashes in the water. His sister was a nun. Hadn't seen him in years and didn't know he was still alive. She saw his obituary and came to his biker funeral. She touched his boots and bike as if it were him. It was quite a crowd...

Well, I want a definition of 'perverted'!!!

I am tatoo'd and riding, so I guess that is most of it.

I will miss Indian Larry. I really enjoyed his humor, his outlook, and the way he built bikes. He will be missed!!

BUMMER,,,,,,,,,,,,
I liked the guy because of his "Old School" ideas and he had some nice looking scoots. I'm sure he will be greatly missed by the two-wheeled world.

Lots of room to ride now,,,,,,,,,,, and ya never fall down,,,,,,,, Ride In Peace Indian Larry,,,,,,
