Tiki Turned Bike Rack: Harbor Hut, Morro Bay, CA

Visited a good friend in Morro Bay,CA,this weekend and decided to check out the Harbor Hut.
I saw some old postings about the place and decided to investigate for myself. I was busy snapping pics while my friend was inside snapping up drinks.
I spotted a tiki that I'm guessing is an original part of the old decor. I wandered off for a bit, then came back and found it turned into a bike rack!

Here are some "happier" tikis at the Harbor Hut...

And here's the big sign over the building as well...

Very nice Fres! I really like the first two, but the one with the glasses!?

Geeky Tiki?

Yes....interesting specs on that last one......

:lol:

They should put a real bike rack in front of that tiki so he doesn't get beat up by bikers!!!

Must be the God of Bikes! Notice how they flock to him!

It was based on (copied from)this Leroy carving:

Which was based on the traditional Marquesan style. Of the Marquesan style "the low relief goggle-eyes, open mouth, and flexed body with hands on body are characteristic."
Bunch of four eyed freaks!

Mai Tai Time!
Buzzy Out!

Thanks for digging up the info on the tiki - I was wondering if it actually had glasses or was supposed to be some sort of traditional design. However, I do like the name "Geeky Tiki!!"

Actually this was a Marquesan rendition of ET's visit long ago. ( In the movie he didn't wear glasses be in reality he did)
