Indian Larry Tribute Block Party

We just got back from the 4th annual Grease Monkey block party to celebrate the life and memory of our friend Indian Larry . I met Larry when I first moved down to Ludlow Street back when he was working on the Lower East Side at Psycho Cycles. Larry let me do a big Devil lady on his leg and we were friends since. He let me bother him for help on my Riviera, questions upon questions and even brought me little broken motors to take apart so I could learn a couple things about the innards of an engine. To meet Larry you wouldn't think he was a guy with legions of fans at the top of his craft admired and looked up to by his peers. Larry somehow remained humble with his kind heart and friendly smile allways present. Larry's work and chopper style lives on though the work of his team members Paul Cox and Keino. What was Gasoline Alley is now Indian Larry Legacy. Larry's legacy is well protected in the hands of Paul and Keino as you can see by the bikes they've produced and by the crowds of people that turned out to pay tribute with them. It was great seeing so many friends. Thanks again guys for having everyone over. And kisses to Bambi especially.

The tank with the copper trim is by Billy Lane (also present for the party) from Choppers inc.Then there's me, Brendan and Kendall Johnson, (know for building the most wicked fast motors, period). Erick of the Rumblers looks a little delerious from his drive across country in that sweet Buick. Big Chris's ride , a frequent contributor and photographer for The Horse. and check out the mini-bikes on the bottom picture from larry's cyles, a little less horsepower but still cool and custom.
