Indian Larry: Chopper Shaman Paperback – April 3, 2010

i know this may sound strange to some, but the way indian larry passed was the way i think a lot of us would like to go, in defiance of practicality. doing what it is that we truly love to do. taking a risk and then taking it again. im not a biker and i dont pretend to be, and not being one makes it difficult for me to conceptualize what a real biker truly is. but of all the biker shows i have watched and all the magazines and books i have read, indian larry truly embodies that image. he defines in my mind the quintissential biker. i watched biker build off from the begining and indian larry was instantly my favorite. of course being born and raised in brooklyn myself quickly endeared him to me. i remember around the time larry passed the pope had died too. and i remember thinking to myself, wow, the pope known and loved by billions and yet i feel nothing for him. and then here is this guy from brooklyn who builds motorcycles and lives an oddball lifestyle and says and does things that i instantly relate to. larry made me think, i mean truly ponder life in just a couple of hours that a world spiritual leader could not do in how many years? i never met you larry but i miss you. and if this sounds mushy to some, well im sorry. as for the book, its magnificent. a fitting tribute to a true motorcycle legend. great writing and excellent photographs from different times in larrys life. its really amazing to see the evolution of this man. the weight lifting muscle bound photos are a trip. then a couple pages later he has a drug-mug. then hes swimming at coney and riding his bike in shorts- in the winter! i hate the cold so these pix crack me up. there are plenty of studio bike photos of all the biker build off bikes. its a great book. any one who admired indian larry should have it and i am truly glad that i have one. p.s. to all the people who contributed to this book, you did an excellent job. jackthewack, march 06

This is the story and life of Larry the biker build off king! Great guy and good friend. Too bad god called him home. See you soon buddy

This book is a must if you're an Indian Larry fan or just into custom bikes. The guy was a legend, he seemed to touch so many peoples lives in a positive way and lived life to the full and this book is a great tribute to him. It has some fantastic photos of the bikes he built, his mates he rode with, fans and and some great reading about the journey of his life."The motorcycle is like a sacred object to me. When I go out for a ride, I'm exactly in the moment. It's like meditation; I'm in the flow." INDIAN LARRY

it is a very good quality book well made. It is definitely an interesting look into the American Biker Lifestyle and a truly interesting character`s Life.

This is a great book to read about the life of a great bike builder, artist and stunt rider (and many other things I didn't know about). In the book aside from the great stories about his life there are plenty of photos of the life he lived and the work he did. Indian Larry will be missed for a long time to come. Very few people can come close to the talents he had. I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to learn more about him.

If you're into Indian Larry, buy this book. If you dont like Indian Larry you are wrong.

Ordered the book for my dad for Christmas see that he had met Indian Larry a month before he passed away... I thought the book was going to be paper back, but came in hard back cover, which was way more awsome ^.^ book was in great condition and got to the house a week before Christmas!!!

I was very interested in the subject matter, but was disappointed in the style of the author. Nichols practically made Indian Larry a god. I would much rather have read of his more human side, the way others in the book talk about his interactions with his fans, than to see him portrayed as a mystery-shrouded spiritualistic holy man. Indian Larry was a human, full of human faults, quirks and characteristics. His motorcycles were as unique as his lifestyle, but, in the end they were still motorcycles, just as he was still a man.

El mejor libro que e leído de un gran motociclista

An absolutely brilliant book with loads of great photos & lots of info on Indian Larry.It is my best book out of all that I own & I'm very very pleased with it.

Awesome book. Great pics. Well worth the purchase.

Super Buch für einen der bekanntesten Biker der frühen 2000er.Die Bikes von Ihm sollte jeder kennen. Zu sehen auch beim Biker Build off und anderen wichtigen Veranstaltungen.

Très bon document sur la vie de ce personnage. Ceux qui aiment les Harleys customs et qui ont vu la série Biker Build Off auront eu certainement envie d'en savoir plus sur Indian Larry. Ce livre est un vrai hommage.
