Indian Larry Bikes sell at Mecum Vintage Motorcycle Auction 2020 in Las Vegas.

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. legendsmotorcycles.com/

Nice bikes , a little expensive , but they are one of a kind. Built by the legendary Indian Larry.

[@demon3825]

As a 31 year old man who grew up watching these bike's being built and looked up to these guy's as a young mechanic, I'm getting choked up seeing how much $ they went for. Rest in Power Indian Larry 🔥

[@TheBudkaiser]

Right I’m 33 and watched all the discovery biker build offs and Larry was a legend. I would’ve thought these bikes would’ve sold for $100,000 at least.

Serious question: I don't know much about bikes at all. Why is Indian Larry so highly regarded? No offense at all, but those bikes look pretty basic to me....

[@michaelcolby4241]

I was glad to see the same guy buy both. They belong together and I hope he keeps them together.

[@juiceman616]

Yes I agree

[@johnjohnson-sm3yf]

Most definitely. Those bikes are legends that need to stay together forever.

[@lafreemramsey3406]

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

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.

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.

[@aphysique]

I'm wit ya, not into the baggers at all!!

[@1979bobhd]

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.

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.

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...
