Indian Larry - The Last Interview with Born To Ride

The proliferation of cable biker shows has given mainstream exposure to the motorcycle industry and made celebrities out of many of the builders.

Indian Larry has become well known through his exploits with Jesse James and the Biker Build-Off series. Larry’s resume also includes stuntman, motorcycle artist, metal sculptor and movie actor. He’s also a member of the Coney Island Polar Bear Club. BTR spent some time speaking with Larry on one of his recent visits to the Sunshine State.

BTR: Hey, Indian Larry, what’s going on? How’s it feel with all the media attention that bikes are getting these days to be a motorcycle super star?

Indian Larry: I don’t know what’s going on, they’ve got me working too hard, I’m busy signing autographs and posing for pictures with the fans here in Daytona. I’ve always been a motorcycle super star, except I was the only one that knew it so it really doesn’t feel much different today. I’m just a regular chopper guy, I’m just a biker and I’m no different from anyone else really. In my opinion everybody’s a super star in their own realm.

BTR: What do you think of the changes that have taken place in the motorcycle industry in the past few years?
