I know most of you guys dont care about the chopper thing but Larry was a great guy. I am posting this here because of our love to stunt our little bikes and the feeling that we all have thinking that they are so small you cant get hurt. Larry was doing some slow stunts, fell and hit his head. One thing to remember is that he was not a rookie at this. He had been doing stunts for years as a stunt man in Hollywood.

Larry passed away at 3:30 am this morning.

A custom-motorcycle builder known to Discovery Channel viewers as Indian Larry was seriously injured while performing a stunt Saturday at the Cabarrus Arena and Events Center.

Cabarrus County officials said the stunt driver sustained head injuries and was in critical condition after being airlifted to Carolinas Medical Center. A CMC official couldn't confirm his condition.

Indian Larry has been featured on Discovery's Biker Build-Off television series and was at the arena to perform stunts during the three-day Liquid Steel Classic and Custom Bike Series.

"He was riding and standing up on his seat," said Mike Downs, Cabarrus County deputy county manager. "The bike started to wobble and he was not able to regain control."

Indian Larry fell off the bike before a crowd of about 8,000. He was not wearing a helmet. Paramedics were standing by at and aided him until he could be airlifted to CMC, Downs said.

The show continued, but all other stunts were canceled, Downs said.

Indian Larry is known for his eccentric nature, according to his official Web site. His résumé includes movie, video and television.

 

Sucks to hear. My concerns and prayers go out to him and his family.

RIP Indian Larry

'Indian Larry' dies after stunt in Cabarrus

Staff Reports


Indian Larry, a master motorcycle mechanic and stunt man, passed away this morning following an accident while performing Saturday at the Liquid Steel Classic and Custom Bike Series show at Cabarrus Arena and Events Center in Concord. He was best known for his appearances on Discovery Channel's "Great Biker Build-Off" show.


"He was riding and standing up on his seat," said Mike Downs, Cabarrus County deputy county manager. "The bike started to wobble and he was not able to regain control."

Indian Larry fell off the bike before a crowd of about 8,000. He was not wearing a helmet. Paramedics were standing by at and aided him until he could be airlifted to CMC, Downs said.

"Cabarrus County along with the staff at the Cabarrus Arena and Events Center sends its sincere condolences to the family of Indian Larry," said Robert M. Freeman, chairman of the Cabarrus County Board of Commissioners. "Indian Larry was a man with great skill and talent as a mechanic and metal sculptor. He will be truly missed by his fans here in Cabarrus County and throughout the nation."


Indian Larry was best known for his eccentric nature, according to his official Web site. His résumé includes movie, video and television.

 

In my opinion, he was more like us than any other chopper builder. He actually pulled stunts and performed. Any performer/stunter is part of this community and it sucks to loose one of your own.
Thoughts and prayers go to his family and friends.

 

RIP that man was a sick artist and a true embasider for motorcycles. he died doin what he loved to do.

 

chopper or not he was still a rider RIP!!!!

 

RIP, Indian Larry built some of the sickest old school choppers out there, he will be missed.

 

R.I.P

I'm glad I got to meet him at Bike Week '04....

BAD *** BIKE BUILDER!!

 

damn when did this happen. And i hope Discovery Channel does something for him

 

not only that, he's bikes were dope. i love that old school style

best bike i thought was that one he built for the build-off that had no front brake

 

Yeha I think most here will care as he died while stunting. If its a chopper or crotch rocket or a fiddy it was still stunting

 

wow does that ever suck, it goes to show if its in a closed enviorment or on the street, if a rookie or not you should try to keep it safe or you loose all the fun and even a riding buddy.

For us riders here in Michigan we should get together in for one last ride in memory of Indian Larry. We all should meet up somewhere and ride down to the River Rouge Stunt Show this Saturday.

IM me if his sounds like a plan.
R.I.P. Indian Larry

 

R.I.P. Larry

 

RIP Indian Larry...atleast now hes building everyone in heaven choppers. Thoughts and prayers go out to his family.

 

Rip Larry.. i have met him before at bike week and bikertober fest but this year i actually got to talk to him and ask him some questions about his bike and i have to say he was very down to earth and willing to talk to anyone.... he will be sorely missed
