Double Trouble on the Salt...
« on: December 01, 2011, 01:05:04 AM »
Andy Sills and Erin Hunter race against the clocks riding two-up faster than many single-rider bikes could even imagine. Read how they've made their mark and opened doors for others to share the excitement...

Like so many other racers - - we've known Erin and Andy for a good while and enjoy being on the Salt with them.  A couple of years ago, when Nancy and I had barely heard of the pair, they showed up at WoS to race -- but since it was sort of a "spur of the moment" trip they didn't have tools, safety garb, or crew with them.  So we, having just blown up the motor on Nancy's bike, got shanghaied into crewing for them.  We had a blast, and Andy did up the P/P 1000 record.  We enjoyed seeing them riding double at the '11 Shootout - and weren't concerned about safety since we'd known of their double riding and other skills for quite a while. Read the article and learn about them -- it, as always in Rocky's work, is a good and worthwhile read.
