This Wacky Tandem bike with back to back riders to some trial and error to get up in the WhiskeyDrome. Forget how many tries but it ended up having tacoed wheels when we handed it back to the gentleman from South America. He had a huge smile on his face regardless along with the rest of the audience. The Rider in the Blue was Tim Terry II and the Rider in the orange was Mike Solari AKA "Slow Larry" There's a video of it floating around some where. Slow Larry also had 20 stitches in his wrist from a grinder accident a week before the Faire. 

Last week was quite a week for new tools at SnksA. In addition to the Cincinati horizontal mill we acquired we also reclaimed this kick ass roller from a local shop.
