I know this has nothing to do with the ZX12, but he was a serious biker and made serious stuff to ride!

Yah, bummer. Fellow bike riders on the ferry were talking bout it the other day.

Bummer....
Yeah, it's sad. I've thought about posting something about it over here but didn't. Indian Larry was a unique individual and he was a craftsman in every sense of the word. I really thought he made some killer bikes, though I am sure there was much more to the guy than building and riding bikes.
Godspeed Indian Larry...........

I did not appreciate what he was doing until Daytona this year and saw the Pan Head and Knuckle Head on the same engine with 2 carbs pointing 2 different ways and the tank curved in on the sides. He did beautiful work and more than that, he made bikes that had short forks so that they could at least turn the corner in his life time! Sad sad day!

He wasn't wearing a helmet. What an idiotic behaviour?!

If you have ever seen him either on TV or in person and saw his helmet, you would know that there is almost no difference!
