Motorcycle Larry Passed Away

[Redfish Hunter]

I read on my ST1300 forum that Motorcycle Larry passed away. I know he was not always well regarded but I thought you guys should know he was gone.

RIP, Larry. Whatever disagreements or disputes in life, they're insignificant now. Life is short, good that he got to spend a good part of it on two wheels.

Just before NAFO in Castlegar, I had some work done on my bike art a shop in Simi Valley. The shop is located directly across the street form Larry's business space. While I know that Larry behaved in a less-than-stand-up fashion here on the Forum, I only had two interactions with him (one when he was an approved vendor at WFO Park City and one at his place in Simi) and both were pleasant experiences. In June, when I walked across the street to check out what was happening, one of his employees told me that Larry had been hospitalized. I do not remember the details but I think that he had parked his motorcycle on the side of a road/freeway, due to some problem or another, and then he slipped and hit his head. Lessons/reminders in mortality and being careful at all times. Who would have thought that getting off a motorcycle could be fatal?! RIP MCLarry.

Dayum... this is never good news. I remember him hitting his head a while back and being hospitalized. I guess I just assumed he got better.

RIP!!

I met Larry at WFO in Park City and bought a set of his risers.He let me use his tools to install them. RIP Larry.

Larry never fully recovered from the bicycle accident, he had a problem with his balance. When he stopped to retrieve his saddle bag that had fallen off his bike, somehow he lost his balance and went over his ST1300 hitting his head on the guard rail as the bike fell on him. This caused his neck to break which resulted in Larry being a quadriplegic. This happened about a year ago.

I went to Larry's shop to get a Ram mount for my bike a while back and I spoke to woman ( forgot here name), but she said that she was Larry's ex wife and she is the one who gave this information.

Sad way to go RIP Larry

Road_Runner, what are the details of the passing of WildBill? Like Don Carver, I did not know that he had expired!
