T-Shirt sketch. Nice fluid scribble of a Beeza twin pre-unit engine. The three lobed timing side cover is very distinctive. Hand written notes list the essential engine components: piston, sparkplugs, carbs, exhaust etc. This top is one of Red Torpedo’s offerings, they make garb for motorcyclists; also used by the likes of road racers & mechanics like Guy Martin.
Rocket Gold Star: just a few lines can evoke the classic lines of this great bike. Oh I wish I still had it! My few photos are all that give me the memories.
My new Google phone has some neat photo editing apps available; here’s a few examples:
After the strong arm tats from a few days ago, here are some for the other Brit Iron marque: B.S.A. One a depiction of the stacked rifles logo, the other of a track racer.
A well illustrated photorealistic tattoo of a flat track beeza haring along at a good clip.
However I think graphically the Gold Star badge would make a tremendous piece of skin art. You’d better be careful, here in the ‘States, BSA also stands for the Boy Scouts of America; so you might end up with some quizzical faces looking at you…
In celebration of the Scottish bard’s birthday, Rabbie Burns, I have this haggis looking Bonneville tank complete with a tartan banding.
No man can tether time or tide,
The hour approaches Tom must ride:
That hour, of night’s black arch – the key-stone,
That dreary hour he mounts his beast in
And such a night he takes to the road in
As never a poor sinner had been out in.
From Tam O’Shanter
Keeping on the bicycle vein here is a magazine graphic from nigh-on a hundred years ago showing an army use of this two-wheeled transport. Nice fluffy clouds behind the pyramid tented camp.
