I guess he was a famous motorcycle stuntman. I don't know anything about him other than that.

How is an Indian dying any more sad (I think thats what you meant) then any other person dying? They are just as normal as anyone else...

Why do people respond to posts in which they know nothing about?

Indian Larry was a respected custom motorcycle (choppers to be specific) builder and stuntrider with a very large following. It is unfortunate that he was killed doing what he loved most - stunt riding. RIP Larry.

Indian Larry was awesome. He could just stand on the seat of his motorcycle on the highway. Now that is skill.

Unfortnately thats what he was doing when we died...although not on a highway. For some unknown reason the bike lost balance and it sent him off it.
