Larry Lawrence has been involved in motorcycle racing most of his life, briefly
as a competitor and then as a journalist and photographer. Lawrence covered his
first race for Cycle News when he was 22 years old and since that time he’s
written features in dozens of enthusiast publications and newspapers across the
world. In addition to writing about modern-day racing Lawrence is one of the
leading motorcycle racing historians in America. For ten years, starting in
1998, he was the biographer for the Motorcycle Hall of Fame and in that capacity
wrote hundreds of bios on the seminal figures in American motorcycling history.
He was also a chair for the Hall of Fame Election Committee. Lawrence
co-authored AMA Pro Racing media guides during the mid-1990s, and was a
contributing editor to the books Heroes of Harley-Davidson and Motocross
America. In 2011 Lawrence authored the biography Ben Spies: Taking it to the
Next Level. Today Lawrence writes his weekly Archives column in Cycle News, is a
regular contributor to Speed Sport News and runs a motorcycle-racing website
