The Blade is the first bike produced by George ‘Snakecharmer’ Farah. It was the success of this bike that led to the creation of Snake Charmer Choppers and the realization of many dreams. With the savings his mother had secretly put aside for her son’s dream, The Blade became a reality and was introduced at Auto Salon in 2006.
The Blade, which he describes as “a monster – a living thing all of its own,” is a representation of everything George had endured in recent times. Green for the ‘Prison Greens’ he wore while serving a sentence that was a result of him walking the ‘wrong path’ in life. Sharp, angled, fierce metalwork to embody the near-fatal knife attack he suffered while incarcerated, and the thunderous roar of the engine – “the sound of freedom” was to represent his desire to remain free from the life he had once known.
“The Blade is a period of my life – the time I spent in gaol,” he says. “I had a dream to build this bike when I was in there, it’s what kept me going, and now it’s a reality. All the bikes I build are part of me and my story.” – George “Snakecharmer” Farah
