Subject: Bitting your style.

Hello,
My name is John, I'm building a Bratstyle xs650 that I'm using your bike as temp-let I attached a pic. (my paint shop) Would this be a problem with you? If so I'll probably scrap the idea. If not I'll probably use your paint man. I'm usually not a fan of using someone else ideas but your bike is sick, and appealed to me instantly. Black frame, different lights and drum front brake w/springs but same paint = a brat style or inspired version of your bike. Thanks, John

Last minutes with Oden

I saw this a couple weeks ago right after my man Homer had a biopsy on a couple of lumps on his back. It had me so fucked up I could hardly sleep, just got the results back and it turns out they were benign. Dont know what I would have done without him.
Girls, apartments, cities, bikes, cars all come and go, but for the last seven years he has been with me everywhere.

Roland Davies - b. 1904; d.1993

Cartoonist, commercial artist, and painter, Roland Davies studied at Ipswich School of Art. He became an apprentice lithographer, then turned to illustration, starting with cinema posters and illustrations for the magazines Autocar and Motor Cycle, and later moving onto comics. He is best known for his comic work, and he drew series for The Beano and TV Comic amongst others, and designed comics in a realistic style.

During the Second World War he worked for the Ministry of Information on books and posters for propaganda, information and morale boosting purposes. In 1970, Roland Davies left the comics field and devoted his attention to painting, creating nostalgic city street scenes, marine and cowboy pictures.

Also did some amazing motorcycle related stuff. see below.
