More "Blackie"


"Blackie's" salt sled. Fully equipped with optional ironing board. Dig those drag bars but the rear tire is giving me the heebees. Love the safety gear (or lack there of) in the first pic - you can almost see his massive attachments from 20yards.

By "Massive attachments" do you mean balls? I also thought this was Ollie Free..... It is not?

Yes Balls. And no, it's not rollie free. Opened my eyes a bit too.

Actually, it's a relatively little known fact, but it's not Rollie, BUT Ollie. Olliver James Freemont. Commonly nicknamed Rollie Free because of the similarities to "Rolling Free".
