george barris video at college cyclery (im famous)

[karfer67]

check it out guys and galls the crew over at barris were cool enough to put this video on their site of the day when george came to the shop to visit and sign autographs. look for the nervious as heck long hair guy working on the huffy cheater slick that would be me. to say i was nervious is an understatment. lets see meeting a living legend who is a hero to me, getting to be included in a video that will be seen by tons of people on the net, and i get to work on a super rare huffy cheater slick (only 1 spd i have ever seen. anyways at the end you will see me again ridding away with barris on my 76 stingray then we turned around and came back. right after the camera cut off someone in the croud joked saying he could ride one handed. he laughed and fliped the bird lol very funny.

Very cool! That looks like a really neat shop.

thanks joe it is a very cool shop i think of us as the anti shop where there is almost if not more vintage and cruiser stuff than modern bike stuff. since that video was taken the shop has changed a bit in looks we have a new double teer bike rack going down the middle of the shop and on the back side is the stingray collection of which we have about 15 vintage rays of varying years for sale. even my 76 but i need money to fund my 67 beetle project. lol this is NOT a forsale ad so dont yell at me hehe at least not too much :mrgreen: very fun shop where one day i am working on a 69 pea picker, next moment a 50 dollar huffy, then maybe a early skiplink schwinn and of course our new specialty thanks to me kustoms and rat bikes!!!

Oh man...sorry to hear about your leg, I know that has to hurt. Nothing like being reminded about how valuable good health is until your down.

Not sure if you're open to it, but I'll be praying for ya bro.

haha kev i knew i would hook ya. it is funny i never thought i would come full circle and work there again because way back in the day i had a falling out with the old owner. when he sold it to terry i was the first guy he mentioned he should get because of my "mad skills". :mrgreen:
no seriously it is a huge honor to work there and get to play with such cool and rare bikes. then to get to meet mr barris was a real treat and now my stingray is signed by him. anyone who comes to the shop and mentions the forum i will give ya a discount.
