'Indian Larry' Said killed at bike show
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
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. |
Sad day for the biking world |

| Although I've never heard of this person, my thoughts go out to him and his family at this time. |

| Sad news, I first heard of him watching that "Great Biker Build-Off" show on Discovery. He was a pretty cool guy, although he did tend to live his life on the edge all the time. Ah well, from what they showed on TV he seemed to enjoy his life. |
