Several years ago, when Discovery Channel was exploiting the bike builder as a conquering hero and reaping monetary benefits off of his back, Indian Larry was finally getting his just due. People around the world were being introduced to one of the premier bike builders as well as a first class human being. Sadly, in 2004, Larry passed away in the motorcycle stunt he was most famous for, The Crucifix, aboard his beloved bike. The world mourned, lives changed forever, but his memory lives on.
The Seeger’s have trudged on when others didn’t, or couldn’t. Doggedly keeping the Indian Larry style alive with their shop, Indian Larry Motorcycles, they have created the wonderful chrome machine you see here.
Built to the same no rake specs Larry was so adamant about, this bike embodies most of the traits that Larry seeked from his machines…rideability. What’s the point of having a motorcycle you can’t ride?
Larry’s bikes were always known for their handling as well as immaculate appearance. This bike holds true to the same. Each part crafted and attached to the bike with a purpose. Each component sparkling with chrome! The bike looks like a piece of jewelry suited for a glass case.
Elise and Bobby also sell ILM merchandise through her business Genuine Motorworks. You can check them out as well as everything IL related at www.genuinemotorworks.com.
I for one could look at the pics of this bike for hours. What’s even more special, is to realize that pictures don’t ever do a bike justice, so I can only imagine the breathtaking design in person.
Until next time…
