- Watch this exciting auction of 2 of Indian Larry's most famous bikes as his wife Bambi looks on. The first bike is "Grease Monkey" which was his first build and daily rider. It is also the bike he tragically lost his life on while doing his stunt called the crucifix. The other is his last Biker Build Off bike called "Chain of Mystery" that featured a chain welded together to make a frame. He rode this bike from New York to Charlotte, NC where he passed away. Exciting auction and negotiations to watch. Thanks to Rick Salisbury and his wife Vickie for keeping them together. Visit the bikes at their museum in Springville, UT at the Legends Motorcycles Museum. legendsmotorcy...

Nice bikes , a little expensive , but they are one of a kind. Built by the legendary Indian Larry.
I was glad to see the same guy buy both. They belong together and I hope he keeps them together.
Yes I agree
Most definitely. Those bikes are legends that need to stay together forever.
I think so too. The man was an amazing cat. My old boss Roy (Royboy) Cooper owned a Larry build I think from the late 80s. Twisting the down tube was a trademark of Larry's and Roy pointed that fact out to me. We all are artists who ride; Roy Larry myself and so many others. Larry could ride his art. His bikes were beautifully crafted no nonsense machines. The balance and symmetry lent to his trick riding as well as aesthetic. Gorgeous and bad to the bone runners. There will never be another Leonardo there wi never be another Larry.
Long Live the King.........Larry's builds will forever be a testament and standard set
What's the name of the owner?
@@rodyking Rick Salisbury owns them and they are displayed in the Legends Motorcycle Museum in Springville Utah
The style of Larry’s bikes inspired me to build my first chopper! Thank you Indian Larry!
Chain of Mystery bike is so amazing! It is a true piece of art. If Indian Larry was alive today, I would love to see his next masterpiece.
TRUE THAT. ESPECIALLY AFTER THE CHAIN OF MYSTERY, THERE WAS NO HOLDING HIM BACK. WISH THESE BIKES WENT TO A PUBLIC MUSEUM.
@@PostUp_Timethey are in a public museum and it’s free entry
Met Indian Larry once at a bike week. My friend Jeff and I spent hours watching and listening to him while our friends drank at the bars. Definitely some of the best hours of my life. So glad to see both motorcycles go to one owner.
Sure.
Great buy
I grew up 2 blocks from Indian Larry's shop and used to watch him ride all the time
RIP LARRY
NEW owner great man to keep the bikes together
Thank u
Kudos to the couple who purchased and kept them together. Even more kudos to them for putting them on display at the mentioned museum for all to see.
If you have ever ridden motorcycles and might be from that era, you know these bikes are priceless. RIP Indian Larry as your creative mind will live long at the museum because of this.
? FTW
WHAT WAS THE MUSEUM. REWATCHED AND STILL COULDNT CATCH THAT PART. SHOULD BE IN THE SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION, AMERICAN CULTURE SECTION
For me the Grease Monkey is literally the “best” custom bike ever.
That’s the one he lost his life falling off of.
Grew up as a little kid idolizing this man and what he could do with his hands RIP Indian Larry
Same
Respect to Indian Larry, his widow, and to the buyer.
RIP, INDIAN LARRY!! HE WAS EPITOME OF BIKE BUILDING!!
some people are so lucky to have those Bikes of history...Indian Larry is a Legend and Legends never die
Just FYI, these bikes found a GREAT home at the Legends Motorcyles Museum in Springville, UT. This museum is a must see for all vintage motorcycle lovers. legendsmotorcycles.com/
Glad they are going where people can see them and be inspired by the work that went into building them.
When my father took me to my first car show at the Oakland California Rod and Kustom show in 1981 I was hooked. My first car was a custom I built.
These were my favorite bikes on the series
thank you for sharing ..I will go there ..
Memories are priceless. And these bikes weren’t made just by anybody. But by Indian Larry. A bad ass legendary bike builder. These bikes are priceless as Larry would say. They are an extension of himself. Sad to see them sold off. I know I wouldn’t do that no matter how much money I got for them.
Maybe they will get the hell ridden out of them. That's what he wanted for his builds. That's how he lived.
It’s easy to see why Indian Larry never lost a biker build off competition.Beautiful ol’school choppers. I wonder what he would of thought of these big wheeled clowned out circus colored baggers.
I'm wit ya, not into the baggers at all!!
I like my bagger it is a good bike, I also like 100 inch 1999 FXDWG, and I love my 1979 FXEFB Shovel Head custom. Each has and serves a purpose but I see no need for a big wheel, it's just another fad like the big rear tire custom choppers that you can't give away today.
High Volts he’d say it yuppie garbage
Like most on indian larry. He liked the bikes just like what he and his team built. I have a bagger and a softail slim s. Had lots sinse 1983. Mostly harleys shovels. Twincams etc. I dont think he would like the Giants wheels etc. I dont but to the people who do i respect there decision. R. I. P. Larry. Best wishes for bambi. Scotth
@@scottherring8987 I don't like them Bagger's nor the Big wheel shiet, nor would Indian, guaranteed, the radio bullshit on bike's either, that to me is not a true Biker nor Bike! To each is own!
At least he had the sense to keep the bikes together. I think Larry would have appreciated that. Hopefully he cherishes them.
I watched Larry build the chain of mystery bike on Biker Build Off absolutely awesome craftsmanship and engineering, RIP Larry
That chain frame from biker buildoff was as good as it gets. Damn if only I was rich. RIP to a legend
Don't have to be rich to build a bike as long as you have a job,
Walked both those bikes into the Javits Center in NYC and took them to California and back twice, beautiful pieces.
RIP Larry, thank you for the inspiration.
I Met Indian Larry at the Richmond Showplace back in the mid 90's and we talked a right good while about what direction i wanted to take my shovel superglide build and we determined that a 48 degree rake with a wide glide front end would be the way to go. Larry was just a regular guy with extreme artistic flair. I'm glad i met him. Oh and i remember that he had a handshake like a friggen Gorilla....lol. Very strong dude. RIP Bro, your friend, Overalls
The zen was strong in Larry a true motorcycle guru and fabricator.
It’s hard to believe it’s been 15 years
I know seems like yesterday watching the build off on discovery .
Jesus didn't realize its been that long
Long Live the amazing spirit and intelligence of Indian Larry.
Nobody but Nobody could out build Indian Larry.
Damn..that old boy has done well to be able to spend 350k on 2 bikes. Cool that he took both.
Best bike builder ever....he was a master of his craft....
I never heard of Indian Larry til a couple days ago. But what I witnessed I see why he is and always will be an ICONIC LEGEND. In his eyes all those that road and road with him were family to him.
Indian larry, English Don, and Stegmund VonHintze were the pinnacle of motorcycle custom culture
For some reason that was hard to watch. How can I miss a guy I never knew or even met?!
I met him at a swap meet in Ct., before his fame from tv and the build offs. He had just published an article in one of the motorcycle mags called "the Chopper as a Chalice" the article inspired me as I was having a creative block with a custom bike I was building at the time. I spoke with him for over an hour, he was very gracious and humble. He had a shop at the time called Psyco Cycles in NYC, I still have the tee shirt he gave me that day...
@@onazram1 Awesome story
I remember watching Indian Larry Jesse James and Billy laine building bikes on the discovery Channel.. I have mad respect for thoses guys
If I owned one I’d ride that sucker everyday. Beautiful machines
One of the best builders and a great person...
The man truly understood his craft! He didn't want it if it wasn't perfect or didn't perform well. Absolutely love his bikes and had been wondering where they were.
My Idol.. I started building unique design bicycles ...Being watching him always and building one of the finest old school chopper Bikes.What a great bike builder all time. (Legend)
never be another man like Indian Larry rip respect
I'd love to see another Biker build off series , It would definitely be bad ass . But it will never be the same with out The Legonary Indian Larry . I miss see you on TV and wish I had had the chance to meet you and Bamby. Rest in peice my beautiful friend ❤
Would love to see his life in a movie with Norman Reedus as Larry😎 Absolutely work's of art! Hope they ride those bikes.
Norman is as down to earth as larry was. That would be the coolest motorcycle movie ! RIP Rat Fink 🤘
Great Indian Larry.... Legend who will always be missed... Thank God we all learned who Larry was through the discovery channel biker build off. Hope Billy lanes bikes bring that kind of money after he leaves this world... RIP Larry. Ride in paradise
That was awesome. That couple is legendary
I got to see his bikes at the Easy Rider show in Houston not long after his death. RIP brother.
That is going to be some awesome father son moments coming up... absolutely incredible... both truly amazing bikes not just built but made with passion and soul...
I tried to buy the 2nd bike but I only had 10 grand and got outbid I was really sad that I didn't win..I really thought I had it man im still sad about it..Larry was like a mentor to me and really needed that back. Needless to say after this auction I started using again and now a full blown heroine addict again
Way to go dude
@@Hannya-d2h thanks my friend I appreciate the compliment! I'm still using everyday and I also got my new girlfriend to start shooting up heroine with me. To be honest I actually enjoy my addiction a lot of people don't. Also a lot of people are made about my new girlfriend also just because she is underage and I'm 23 yrs older then her. But I love her
Can't believe i shed a tear watching this. RIP Larry.
Sadly, I was there in Concord, N.C. the day he passed. A true showman to the end. RIP brother. Iconic bikes built by an Iconic old school biker.
I remember exactly where I was when he died an inspiration for everything I do truly a legend
Im not a motorcycle rider, but i respect indian larry, i seen some of the biker build off with him and he has my respect
The chain of Mystery bike is the most beautiful bike I have ever seen congratulations
RIP HISTORY TO NEVER BE UTILIZED IN THE WAY THAT LARRY DID RIP TO HISTORY AND THE MACHINE THAT DID IT ALL
The guy that bought them is blessed to be able to buy both.
Having these at your shop or in a personal garage would e awesome.
Cool they brought in that much money worth every penny.
Gas man Gas man Probably an investment. Will appreciate and resell
I am happy to see same guy n Bambi happy ! Its been years ! 😢 Good times kids ! 🍇❤️
Must be nice. Spend half million at auction for 2 of Larry's creations. Beautiful. Larry is proud. Bambi can top off her bank account nicely now
Thank the gods that man bought both! Bambi did the right thing.RIP larry
Seeing both of these bikes in person back in the day at the Rumblers CC NYC show, Custom Kills, the detail is absolutely incredible. He's the only builder i would have bought a bike from. Glad his guys are still rippin it. RIP Indian Larry, aka the Lone Wolf.
Laconia Bike Week in June 2004 i was there and met Indian Larry, Billy Lane, Detroit Bros and many more. Was a great year and actually still have a 2004 Laconia sweater with all their signatures, prize possession
Two of the most beautiful bikes ever made.
That "Chain Of Mystery" Bike was a true Pan / Shovel, having both Panhead and Shovelhead valve covers (rocker boxes)
Nice they were kept together!!!! 🤘😎🤘
Love Indian Larry's bikes! Lucky man to have two.
Total BS those bikes are priceless should of stayed with Indian Larry’s friends
Paul Cox should've got them.
I to agree that they should stay together,with the garage and its friends
You don't understand the custom motorcycle community, both bikes went to the same person to enjoy. They were in a museum for years and who in the hell do you think you are to question Larrys wife, love and soulmate. Paul Cox built his own special tribute bike to Larry and you do not know how tight the Gasoline Alley family was and is. It's been fifteen years and Larry was a very special, giving, caring person. So just stop with the stupid rhetoric.
No sir, they are on a journey like Larry.
@MichXJdad Right on 👍
Never really liked the looks of bikes until I saw Indians Larrys. I love his style
Larry built some beautiful bikes and I wish I had the chain bike. It's funny and sad at the same time how Larry, Jesse, Billy and tons of other talented guys and gals built functioning bikes to ride across america and they weren't making tons of money, yet OCC made millions building kickstand art that only rode for a mile at a time or wasn't very functional to ride at all.
I guess that's why the real builders bikes are still worth money and you can't give away the OCC bikes these days.
You know that guy was prepared to spend half a million on those 2 Bikes.
That's probably the last time we will ever see those two bikes....now build a big dust free show case......congrads
They belong at wheels through time.
They don't want junk.
Those bikes aren't junk..
@Jacob Mossberger more like prom dress.
They belong in NYC. Museum of Art
Riding Piper Naaa Bro. PETTERSON😠
Indian Larry would have been happy. Seems that money went to people he cared about and The dude that brought them knows what he has and will take very good care of them.
It might seems like he paid a lot for them too but given inflation, he paid about what he would have if he had brought them back in the late 90s/earlys 2000s when they were built, maybe more because he wasn't selling his main ride unless you offered something insane. Choppers were big then so you had to get on a waiting list if you wanted a bike from any of the big bike builders. Some people paid 100,000 in the early 2000s for OCC bikes that wouldnt be worth shit today and ride like crap. Larry's was a ture master craftsman who took pride in his work and not the money, that was the reward for quality, that's getting rarer and rarer today!..... 🤘???????????🤘
I love you Larry! Rest in peace.
Sad. Life goes on. Maybe some future day they will run again. I would certainly go thru them after sitting for so long.
I hope he rides em like he stole em good to see them stay together
WOW! Glad to see his bikes went for over $300k!!! He would have been proud!!!
It is very difficult to understand, in what situation, after Larry passed away, is Bamby, I am usually someone to keep memories, but today I would say, that it would not be fair, to judge that it is wrong for them to be auctioned. WE ALL CARRIED A CROSS ON OUR SHOULDERS; AND NOBODY IMAGINE HOW HARD IT IS TO FOLLOW ::::RIP Larry.
Im glade indian Larry's friend bought both of them. Those are some beutiful bikes.
Just curious about where you found the link to this video? Was it posted someplace?
@@BTadventures7 i was on utube looking up nice bikes and ran into it i guess.
RIP Larry ☮⚘⚘⚘⚘🇺🇸
I attended the bike show where Larry wrecked. What started as a very exciting day, turned out to be a tragic day for all of the bike world.
Either one of those would become my daily ride
I hope that the person who bought them will ride them! Not put them in a storage unit and let them collect dust!
For that much they would be stored behind Glass in my Living room.
@@silkcustoms520 And Larry’s ghost would haunt you! He would want them to be ridden.
@@boataxe4605
Alright. You talked me into it !!
350k is a lot of coin. But those are priceless works of art. He got a deal. Damn, I wish I had that kind of income.
Beautiful bikes, it's hard to believe it's been 16+ yrs.................
Chain bike and Dennis hoppers bike from the movie are my 2 favorite bikes of all time.
I use to love his show!!
When you create your own, it becomes priceless.
Wish I would have known. True collector items from a true legend.
These bikes belong in the museum
Nah....As someone that's designed, built, and rode choppers....I'm pretty sure Larry would rather someone ride the absolute piss outta them, rather than just sit there so people can stare at them.
Indian Larry made the best looking custom bikes.
Those bikes are really priceless those are Art on wheels
Well I didn't personally know indian larry. But we had a lot of somewhere philosophies. And I can tell you in my opinion, That he would think at some point. Past around 30, -40 grand. Respect is one thing. And a sucker is born.
Every minute.
I can't believe it has been 15 years since Larry passed.
Both bikes are displayed at Legends Motorcycle Museum in Springville Utah
Coolest dude I met rest easy sir
Great to see what they went for and to the same couple, I just hope that they ride them, that's why they were built.
WTH? That black chain frame bike was the most incredible chopper I've ever seen!
I hate to be that guy but the colour is a midnight purple flake pearlescent powder coat frame with matching body work done by robert pradke. Absolute top notch colour. I still watch his biker build offs as I just love his stuff and would love a bike like his. His bikes would be perfect for riding in the UK too
If I had the kind of money to buy something like this I would buy it and donate back to Bambi so she could still have Larry’s sole with her. The two things he loved and cherished most in his life.
This bikes-national heritage.They place-Museum.And only their.
In 2004 I was channel surfing and ran into biker build off halfway through I'm now 32 and Larry's bikes even if I never got to see one in person are still badass......oh and yes it was the Larry vs mondo episode r.i.p
$360K for two bikes that will never be ridden again.
Oh if i owned them i would ride them
Larry would have wanted them to be ridden. Its part of the soulful experience..
@@johngrepo9976 ABSOLUTELY RIGHT
They’re investments.
I hope they are ridden by God I would
Crazy! My first chopper cost me $ 600 and my 2nd one cost me $ 1500 . At the time it was a lot of money for me but I didn't care when I heard the roar from the motor. Both Panheads and I was broke after that.
A $600 panhead sounds pretty good these days.
that guy has an amazing wife... epic
Excellent narrative & eulogy
That chain frame bike though😍😍😍
History being auctioned off I tell ya. Real history folks.
