Visit to Corbin in Hollister CA on 7-Feb-2001

Karl calls Eddy: "Yo Eddy, I'm goin' to Hollister to have a custom seat fitted."
Eddy replies: "I'll go with ya! I need to check out their electric car production."

Karl still on his stock seat

Inside the seat
making department
TA ready to be
"seated". Harley back rest
mass production Karl explains what
he wants. Test drive

Small adjustments
(and more back rests) This is the crew that
makes your seats. DONE !! Extra high custom seat. What did baby Rachel
have to say about daddy's
new seat: YIPPEEEEE!!

The Electric Cars
"the Sparrow"
Eddy takes it out
for a spin.
Will a big guy like Karl
fit in this tiny car? YEP, he fits!
(barely...) And he takes off.

Because they are
3-wheelers, they
qualify as motorcycles! Lapping around
the block. Refueling:
"plug it in" Corbin back yard.
