I found out yesterday that motorcycle stunt rider and chopper builder Indian Larry died monday night from injuries resulting from a failed motorcycle stunt.
I didn't know a whole lot about him, but it kind of meant something to see pictures of this guy with "no Fear" tattooed on his neck as I just began riding my bike about three weeks ago. I'm gonna go for a ride today, so as not to let his death feel like an omen.

Indian Larry is DEAD!!

His choppers were amazing, they were old skool choppers out of Triumphs and Nortons, He did everything by hand while all the new people 'manufactured' the parts for choppers. We shared a love of Rat Fink.

Indian Larry you will be missed and you are a legend

Here is an example of one of his bikes

beautiful and his style could never be duplicated

Not a hell of a lot of true old skool guys left
like you said, most of the newer people design bikes that almost anyone could bolt together at home, so as to maximize profit.
If you can still find a copy pick up the latest issue of "The Horse backstreet choppers" Indian Larry is featured heavily in it
