Default Larry Wood

I guess I should give credit where it is due...These plates were given to me by an acquaintance / friend named Larry Wood. I only got to know Larry later in life through a close friend who was a very close friend of Larry for most of his life.

Larry was arguably the best motorcycle builder / restorer in the country. He worked with all of the greats of today and yesterday, or should I say they worked with him... If your into motorcycles, some of the stuff he has built and restored would blow your mind. He was a true old school artist and perfectionist! Here is just a couple samples of his work...

At one time Larry lived on Winnipesaukee at the mouth of Smith Cove in Glendale. (Maybe some of you long timers in the area remember him?) He took me by his previous home near the cove when he came to visit a few summers ago. He described his many classic boats he had at one time and I'm sure these plates came from them. It was after this visit that Larry mailed me his old boat license plate collection.

Larry died on August 24th 2019 in Florida. I believe he was 90 years old.

Anyway...a little history to go with the plates.

RIP Larry Wood...
