Here is a cool shot of George Barris, flanked by a couple of exceedingly creepy looking fellas, unveiling his line of custom bikes that I saw in a 1970 trade rag.

Is that Carmine and Greg's garage? Give that one guy a top hat and he'd be Snidely Whiplash :laugh: "Who wants a mustache ride"

Snidely Whiplash! I love it! I made that reference just the other day and I could almost hear the whoosh sound as it flew right over everyone's head, no one over 30 was within earshot...
That pic could be captioned: "so what's it going to take to have you take home one of these beauties today?" Great pic.

Thanks JT for posting this photo. Awesome.
I am looking at the Barris Kustoms decals on the from fork of the chopper he is sitting on. The weird laydown Barris we have has that decal on the fork but I thought the California Lowrider had a Barris California Lowrider decal on the fork but this photos show different. Markus, any input as to which is correct? We bought a Barris chopper recently and need to have the clear faced decal reproduced. Thanks. I do have a photo of my brother sitting just like George is on the chopper! Lol.

Haha.. Yeah soon after this pic was taken he tied George to the railroad tracks.

Yo, how tall was George Barris? He looks like he's sitting on a full sized chopper. Haha
