I thought Corbin went bankrupt less than a year ago, then this morning
I hear about that big motorcycle show in Hollister, CA., July 4th:
sponsored by Corbin. Is that company still operating? I never saw
the Merlin.

(Sorry about the blank post. I hit the wrong key.)

I think maybe Corbin _motors_ went broke, but I think the seat business
is seperate. Burley's still have corbin seat bases.

Hmmm - I like purple... I would like to see a pic of the monstrosity.

PS - I do have a Corbin seat on my Burley HepCat. No bent buns yet!

The Corbin "Sparrow" was the kind of car only a SHRINER could fully
appreciate except there was not enough room for their size 48 clown shoes.

It's not much of a monster, but here's a photo of one that's in the world
renowned micro car museum.
