This past Saturday was the 3rd annual Special Olympics Torch Ride, put on by our local Sheriff Department, and sponsored by many local businesses. The money made by the ride is used to help send local athletes to the State level olympics. Unfortunately, I had to work and couldn't ride this year, but I wanted to do something to help out. So, I made 12 motorcycle puzzles to be used by the deputies to raise money however they saw fit. There were 6 cruisers, 4 choppers, and 2 sport bikes. I stained/oiled some of them to give some variety, while some were simply left natural. All but one were cut from 3/4" pine. I had one chunk of 3/4" cherry that was big enough to make a cruiser out of, so someone got one just a little more special than the others. Haven't heard yet how they were received, but I just hope they helped raise a little more money! Sorry the picture isn't great, I decided to snap a quick pick as I was packing them up to drop off at the sheriff's office.
