    dear,

    It's official, Indian Larry has passed away. He'll be missed by the bike world. What a great bike builder will be sadly missed.

    Unfortunately this is true, Indian Larry has passed away from injuries sustained while performing a stunt. A true American character, he will indeed be missed. The story is at the following link.

    If I am not mistaken this happened last year sometime, correct? I was not a big fan of his but I had seen him on other bike building shows and he had an amazing love of bikes and life. It is a shame, but at least he died doing what he loved.

    That is definitely a great loss to the biking world. I didn't even realize that he'd died until now. I just don't pay enough attention to stuff sometimes.

    I have to second that. I was one of the original great bike builders. I remeber my parents had several pictures of the great bikes he built. What a tragedy.
    Indian Larry will be missed by many.

    I am saddened by what happened to Indian Larry. The bike shop that I frequently go to has a lot of pictures of his bikes hanging up all around the store. He made so a contribution to bike history. He will be missed by many.
