Why is Elvis messing with a Messerschmitt?

Yikes, those aren't good looking glasses

What is the Elvis connection with Ed Roth, and Gene Winfield?

Elvis was driving an Ed Roth trike, and Ed made tops with his trikes, http://www.aeclassic.com/73rothtrike/ (to read about them). Well, back to the story... so you can bet that most of those tops never saw the road, and one was located in a backyard by Spider the pinstriper, and as you can see below, he pinstriped it, and brought it to a show and Gene is photographed sitting it it.
Thanks to Spider for the story, and let this be a lesson. Learn what you can from everyone you can, a lot of people have great story!
