DESCRIPTION:
5 star man Daniel Garvin Just what I wanted. "This is a must read for anyone who loved to see Indian Larry's work." according to Tool Guy. This is a great book to read about the life of a great bike builder, artist and stunt rider (and many other things I didn't know about). In the book aside from the great stories about his life there are plenty of photos of the life he lived and the work he did. Indian Larry will be missed for a long time to come. Very few people can come close to the talents he had. I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to learn more about him.. ????????????? i know this may sound strange to some, but the way indian larry passed was the way i think a lot of us would like to go, in defiance of practicality. doing what it is that we truly love to do. taking a risk and then taking it again. im not a biker and i dont pretend to be, and not being one makes it difficult for me to conceptualize what a real biker truly is. but of all the biker shows i have watched and all the magazines and books i have read, indian larry truly embodies that image. he defines in my mind the quintissential biker. i wat
Full of photographs that document a uniquely colorful life, the book follows Larry from his humble beginnings to his unlikely stardom, tracing his short career as a bank robber, his time in prison, his spiral downward into heroin addiction, and his rebirth in 1994 as the spiritual bike builder revered by so many—and, running through it all, the love of hot rods and motorcycles that finally brought him happiness. This book, by those who knew him best, offers a closer look at this chopper shaman admired by so many. A stunt man and sideshow performer made famous by the Discovery Channel, Indian Larry Desmedt is best remembered for his remarkable custom motorcycles, his wild tattoos, and his love for building and riding rolling art. Why was he nicknamed Indian Larry? Because early in his career, he ceaselessly rode his Indian Motorcycles through the street of New York City.
