INDIAN LARRY
I Still Can’t Quite
Believe The News
Even Though I Heard
It From So Many Bro’s
I Continued To Pray
That It Wasn’t True
He Seemed So Invincible
A True Biker From
The Original Old School
Building Choppers
Long Before It Was Cool
He Lived His Life
By His Own Rules
And When Fame
Came His Way
He Kept His Cool
By Staying True
Never To Big To
To Chat With A Fan
Never Afraid To
Lend A Helping Hand
These Are Just
A Few Of The Things
That Make Him
Truly A Legendary Man
His Beliefs Inked Out
On His Arms,
Neck And Chest
Independent
No Need For A Vest
Indian Larrys
Still Doing What He Loves
Building Bikes For The
Old School Bikers In
Heaven Above
~
I Truly Miss Him
And I Give His
Brothers, Sisters
And Family
All My Love

INDIAN LARRY TRIBUTE–I was in Vegas when I heard the news. It is very sad and tragic. He worked so hard for so long, and was finally really getting a chance to reap the benefits of that hard work and to enjoy his success. My understanding is that the memorial service will be on September 19th. It is a huge loss for the motorcycle world and a tragic loss for all those who knew him and loved him well.

SPRINGFIELD STREAK ENDS FOR SCREAMIN’ EAGLE RIDER RICH KING–Sour Engine Foils King’s Bid for Fourth-Straight AMA National Win at Springfield Mile
SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (Sept. 5, 2004) – Screamin’ Eagle Performance Parts rider Rich King dropped from the lead pack when his engine failed with four laps remaining in the AMA Grand National main at the Springfield Mile. The trouble ended his bid to win a fourth consecutive race at the prestigious Illinois State Fairgrounds track. The race was won by Quality Checked Pre-Owned Ford/Lancaster Harley-Davidson rider Chris Carr aboard a Harley-Davidson XR750.
King placed second in his heat race to qualify for the 25-lap main. He jumped into the lead at the start of the main, and led seven of the first 12 laps among a nine-rider lead pack. King was in second place when he dropped back in the pack as his engine started to fade on lap 21. After that, he left the track.
King won both AMA Grand National races at the Springfield Mile in 2003, and also won the first 2004 race there on Memorial Day weekend.
“The Screamin’ Eagle team has a good bike set-up and a great rider for Springfield, and we were in the hunt until racing luck caught up with us this time,” said Harley-Davidson Racing Manager Anne Paluso. “We really appreciate all of the support Harley-Davidson fans in Springfield offered us this season.”
Carr won the Springfield race with a last-lap drafting pass of KTM USA/Jones Powersports/Mid-America Harley-Davidson rider Ken Coolbeth. Coziahr Harley-Davidson/National Cycle rider Johnny Murphree followed Carr past Coolbeth to take second as Coolbeth crossed the line in third.
Carr’s win on the mile and a second-place finish in the short-track TT at Springfield on Saturday boosted his points lead as the AMA Progressive Insurance Flat Track Championship heads into its final events. With three races left on the schedule, Carr has 255 points and a 40-point lead over KTM USA/Jones Powersports/Mid-America Harley-Davidson rider Joe Kopp, now second with 215 points. Coolbeth is third with 189 points, just ahead of Murphree with 183 points.
On Saturday, King placed sixth and third in heat races and failed to qualify for the AMA Grand National short-track TT event at Springfield. That race was won by Glen Schnabel on a Yamaha.
The next stop on the AMA Progressive Insurance Flat Track Championship series is Sept. 19 at Scioto Downs in Columbus, Ohio.

BIKERNET JOKE–I like this. They should keep it! Kern County California police drove this car for a week before an officer noticed what the graphics company employee did on the passenger side of the car. The employee did this on his last day working for the graphics company before he retired.

BIKERNET LESSON ON FLYS– A farmer in Hampton Ark. got pulled over by a Sheriff Bob Dunn forspeeding. The Sheriff started to lecture the farmer about his speeding, andin general began to throw his weight around to try to make the farmer feeluncomfortable. Finally, the Sheriff got around to writing out the ticket. Ashe was doing that, he kept swatting at some flies that were buzzing aroundhis head. The farmer said, “Having some problem with circle flies there, areya? The Sheriff stopped writing the ticket and said, “Well yeah, if that’swhat they are. I never heard of circle flies.” So the farmer says, “Well,circle flies are common on farms. See, they’re called circle flies becausethey’re almost always found circling around the back end of a horse.” TheSheriff says, “Oh,” and goes back to writing the ticket. Then after aminute, he stops and says, “Are you trying to call me a horse’s ass?” Thefarmer says, “Oh no, Sheriff. I have too much respect for law enforcementand police officers to even think about calling you a horse’s ass.” TheSheriff says, “Well that’s a good thing,” and goes back to writing theticket. After a long pause, the farmer says, “Hard to fool them fliesthough.”

GOTHAM MOTORCYCLE CLASSIC–Just set the dates for 2005 GMC http://www.GothamMC.com and thought you’d want to know.
Last year was our first Gotham Motorcycle Classic on the decks and docks of the Intrepid aircraft carrier (it’s a BIG sucker!), with over 200 show bikes and 11,000 people through the gate.
This year we are doing it again on Oct 9 and 10, 2004 and it looks like it’ll be even bigger.
Saturday is American Iron Calendar day with 12 bikes chosen and photographed for the calendar. Sunday is judging for all 32 classes of domestic and import bikes. Many of the winners will be photographed and featured in various national magazines, including American Iron Magazine (for Harleys and domestic) and RoadBike (for metric and imports).
Next year’s Gotham Motorcycle Classic will be moved up to the spring, and we’ll hold it April 14 and 15, 2005.
Lots of very amazing bikes – domestic and import. Lots of classic, custom, hot rod and choppers. Even sidecars and scooters too.
Hope you can make it out one of these days.
Best wishes,
Buzz Kanter
