Fired up a Wall Bike that belonged to Vonnie Pelaquin and has not run for 40 years! It will be On The Wall this weekend!!

Nice!

What's that interesting rig on the machine in the foreground?

That is a mid sixties Gorton Pantograph. I am by Trade an Injection Mold Engraver, basically the Master of a dead art. Almost all I engrave these days are Shifter Knobs! Thankfully there is still a market for Quality U.S.A. made steel stamps!

I've seen Danny's engraving work and it is nothing short of amazing. He is a true artist.

Thanks Eric. And NOW I am a Wallrider!!

Congratulations!! Do you have any pictures of you riding the wall? Sure do love watching guys ride the Wall. I remember seeing it for the first time back in the 70's at a local Carnival. Great stuff! I don't get to see it anymore... Last time I did see it was at the Harmony NJ AMCA meet quite a few years ago now.
