He evokes a hint of sensationalism by throwing out tantalizing bits about what can be found in later chapters, making it difficult to put the book down. At times, the prose can seem a bit heavy- handed, and more than one caption comes across as laughable, but neither diminishes the quality of the life story. With excellent - and diverse - photography, along with a compelling narrative, this is a good one for both the reading room and the archive.

It changed completely, like nobody I've ever seen. Larry is credited with helping to re-popularize the stripped down, tall handlebar, foot clutched, jockey shifted , no front brake or fender, small gas tank, open piped, kick start only, stock rake choppers that prevailed in the s, before long front ends became popular Larry explained during his first Biker Build-Off , that he preferred nimbleness in a bike so he could ride at high speeds along the mountain switchbacks. When building a chopper, Larry could draw upon what he had mastered over the years in the fields of mechanics, welding, and metal fabrication. Among custom bike builders, Indian Larry was known and respected for having mastered the old-school style of building and remaining loyal to it. Larry explained, "I'm a chopper builder. Old-time, old-school chopper builder. But I like the modern technology that's involved. So the bikes run better, perform better. And we have more fun with them. In the art of building a bike, Larry preferred old school methods and didn't use CNC machines. The man who taught Larry the craft of using a welding torch said that he remembered Larry not wanting to grind down welds if they were good because Larry "felt it showed your craftmanship. Larry's childhood friend, Ted Doering, who knew Larry when he was first learning to build and would chrome parts for him, said that Larry had even envisioned the idea for a "'clear,' see-through transmission case" in order to "view the gears working". Doering added that Larry "would fabricate or customize every piece because on a motorcycle, you can see everything. Larry's shop partner, Paul Cox, who first met Larry at Sixth Street Specials in the East Village , and started working with him at Psycho Cycles around [32] explained how Larry conceived the idea for a new chopper build: "Working alongside him you realized how much he ran on instinct. Built-in instinct. He would rarely make a sketch or jot down notes At that point it was 'all over but the cryin,' he would say. When one of the choppers breaks down in Southern Utah , Larry is shown performing his mechanical skills on the bike in a supermarket parking lot when his own bike has magneto problems, Larry explains to the camera, "If the bike is not running; if it's leaking oil; and if it's dirty. That's about the only three things that will really get to me. Larry wanted to "elevate the art of the motorcycle" in the general perception and the art world. The Biker Build-Off programs provided a public forum to do this. The premise of each 45 minutes program was to profile two different custom motorcycle builders, each from a different part of the United States, and film them and their crews at work in their respective shops building a unique bike from start to finish within a set number of days.

  • Highlight Der Woche: the Devils Ride
    DMAX Programm Programmwoche 33, 11.08. bis 17.08.2012 Highlight der Woche: The Devils Ride - Ein Leben auf zwei Rädern Die Bruderschaft Ab Mittwoch, 15.08.2012 ab 22:15 Uhr Seit mehr als fünf Jahren sind die "Laffing Devils" mittlerweile in San Diego unterwegs - ein Blick hinter die Kulissen eines einschlägigen amerikanischen Motorrad-Clubs Die „Laffing Devils“ MC in San Diego sind eine eingeschworene Gemeinschaft und halten wie Pech und Schwefel zusammen. Präsident „Gipsy“, der Gründer des Motorrad-Clubs, war 12 Jahre lang bei den US-Marines und hat in seiner Militärzeit gelernt, wie wichtig Loyalität und Kameradschaft sind. Deshalb machen seine Jungs mit dem roten Teufel auf der Biker-Kutte keinen Krawall, sondern trinken gemeinsam ein Bierchen und genießen ihr Leben auf zwei Rädern. Meistens zumindest, denn manchmal gibt es doch Ärger mit den Cops und den anderen Clubs der Stadt. Schuld daran sind die „jungen Wilden“ in der Truppe, die gerne über die Stränge schlagen und der alten Garde damit mächtig auf die Nerven gehen. Der Ruf der Biker ist schließlich schon schlecht genug. DMAX blickt in der neuen Doku-Serie hinter die Kulissen eines einschlägigen amerikanischen Motorrad-Clubs. Verpatzter Abend. Billy, Sandman und Snubz wollen sich am Freitag in der Stadt ein paar Drinks genehmigen und Mädchen aufreißen. Doch die Jungs werden an der Tür des Clubs abgewiesen, weil sie ihre „Colors“ tragen. Mitglieder von Motorrad-Gangs sind wegen ihres zwielichtigen Rufs auch in San Diego nicht besonders gern gesehen. Doch solche Abfuhren schmecken den harten Jungs gar nicht. „Prospect“ Charles darf sich inzwischen seine ersten „Laffing Devils“-Sporen verdienen: Der Rockerclub-Anwärter soll auf die Frauen der Biker aufpassen, während die „Members“ sich besprechen.

One is how The Biking Life Bike Show turned out and, frankly, it turned out great. Sure there were some things that could have been done better, but I think we established a nice baseline for ourselves. In addition, I thought I could write about integrity and how some people surely lack it, but made the choice to save that topic for the future.

There was a time when you threw out any of these names to an acquaintance you were likely to receive a blank stare in response. Now I bet you could throw these names out to any given person on the street and they would recognize at least some of them as being bike builders. I wasn't around when the first motorcycle mechanics started "chopping" stock bikes so I can't pretend to know what that sub-culture was all about, but I was around when the Discovery channel broadcast only nature and occasionally trav- el shows. There were no custom choppers in my brother's HotWheels collection, there were no OCC tee-shirts available at Wal Mart and there certainly weren't "Celeberty Bike Builders". Now there are a slew of them. Orange County Choppers led the way with their American Chopper series and created a show that was so wildly popular that it not only changed their lives, but also completely altered the format of an entire cable net- work. It is estimated an average of 3-4 million tune in to each new episode.
