'Indian Larry' Said Killed at Bike Show

Mon Aug 30, 9:45 PM ET


CONCORD, N.C. - A custom motorcycle builder known for his appearances on cable's Discovery Channel died Monday at a hospital of head injuries suffered during a stunt, officials said.



"Indian Larry" fell off a motorcycle Saturday while performing before 8,000 people at an arena outside Charlotte. He was not wearing a helmet, the officials said.


Indian Larry was standing on the moving bike when it began to wobble and went out of control, said Mike Downs, Cabarrus County deputy manager. His full name was not immediately known.


"Indian Larry was a man with great skill and talent as a mechanic and metal sculptor," said Robert Freeman, chairman of the county board of commissioners. "He will be truly missed by his fans here in Cabarrus County and throughout the nation."


Indian Larry, who appeared in movies and television shows, was featured on a Discovery Channel series in which motorcycle builders design and build bikes from scratch, then have them judged by motorcycle aficionados.

I think I also saw him on Monster Garage a few months ago.

aww, man... he was very cool. It was amazing to see him on those shows, reclined back on his bike, feet on the handlebars, hands behind his head, while doin 50 or 60 mph on the highway.

At least he went out doing what he loved... riding.

He will be missed!

I truly liked the unique beauty of the frames of the choppers that he made.

As a rider myself who has taken a few spills, I still firmly believe in full body armour and full face helmet.

You need skin to keep the broken bones in and armour to try to prevent breaking bones.

Doctors can only repair so much damage.

Indian Larry



" And if I'm called away and it's my turn to go,
Should the blood run cold in my veins,
Just one favor I'll be asking you,
Don't bury me here it's too cold,
Take me back,
Carry me back,
Down to Gasoline Alley where I started from"

I remember one of the episodes on Discovery when Larry took the time to help another competitor out with his bike. And these two where competiting against one another. I always thought that was kool.

RIP IR.

The Teutels are a bunch of f-ing clowns. If it wasnt for Discovery channel no one would have ever heard of these guys. Its a circus watching these guys work. Paulie jr has no original ideas and fucks everything up. Then paulie sr. runs around yelling at everyone which will somehow fix the situation.

Their theme bikes suck.

No joke... the people who buy their bikes are much worse than yuppies who go out and buy harleys.
