BIKERNET STEALTH REPORT FROM NORTH CAROLINA–Not a lot to report on this week. It has been kinda slow and quiet. I guess I will just mention a few things that come to mind.
Last weekend was the national open house for Harley-Davidson. To sum it up, more of the same thing. The really strange part is that two of their paint colors are called “Chopper Blue” and “Chopper Pearl Blue.” I don’t get it, but I guess they are trying some way to cash in on the chopper craze?
It is hard to believe summer is over. It seems the older you get the faster time passes by. There is still some good riding weather left to ride around here, but you know inside the cold is coming. With that though comes the winter projects so it is not all gloom and doom.
I’ve ridden for the past week. That’s the best news. No back pain after the surgery. Not being able to ride for 7-1/2 weeks makes me apppreciate my ability to ride in a whole new light.
The A.H.D.R.A drag races come to Rockingham October 9th and 10th. I plan on making the ride to the races. It is always a good time. There is also a swap meet the same weekend in Salisbury, NC, the same site as the Smoke-Out.
I will close out with this, “Remember life is fragile and precious” and that “All men die, yet very few really live!” So go out and live like it’s your last day!
Until next week!

INDIAN LARRY MEMORIAL–I’ve received a number of e-mails asking about Indian Larry. The news travels slow in some parts, so here’s Rogue’s tribute to the man for all who missed the sad news.–Bandit
I know you have all heard the name Indian Larry. You have read about him and seen him on TV. You have seen him on the Discovery Channel and Biker Build-Offs around the country. Some of you even had the opportunity to meet him. By now you know that he died doing what he loved, riding his motorcycle while at the Liquid Steel Show Bike Show in Charlotte North Carolina.
Larry was performing his famous Iron Cross demonstration for a crowd estimated to be over 8,000 where he stands on the seat of his motorcycle and rides it while his arms are outstretched. For some reason the bike slowed and acted erratic throwing him to the ground. He was airlifted to the hospital but never regained consciousness.
A Memorial Service was held for him at his shop located at 151 N. 14th Street in Brooklyn New York on September 19, 2004. The streets surrounding the shop for 3 blocks in any direction were full of motorcycles and people that came to pay their respects. This included many well known motorcycle people in the industry from all over the country, people that knew him personally, clubs, organizations, those that knew about him and even some of the motorcycle squad from the New York Police Department. The turn out was tremendous and rightfully so.
Many people had private ceremonys prior and after the official one. Larry left us way to soon, but he did leave his mark on all of us in one way or another. Good News is that the Shop Will Continue to Stay Open and keep his memory alive
Tattooed on Larry’s throat was IN GOD WE TRUST, VENGENCE IS MINE SAYETH THE LORD. NO FEAR
Long will we remember this man !
