Old School...Hard School...

©2011 Paul Jamiol
We went down to a bike show in Providence, RI over the weekend. It was great to be around motorcycles and mc people on a winter day in January. Really liked the look of this bobber. Got a chance to sit on it and it felt bad to the bone. However, if in my stable, it would only be for short rides. Hard tail, springer front end, small seat, foot clutch, hand shift, no front brake and short pipes with no mufflers. This is one a hard ride but I love the style and looks totally cool. Old school...hard school!

Happy New Year to all and I'm back!

Going to the garage for the winter...a sad day. April is a long way away!

December Ride...

I always try to ride at least once in December before it goes to bed for the winter. Today (12/11) was that day and a great day for it. Temp made it to 40. Riding is good for the soul.

Shifta on a...

If Shifta's bike (from the first Bikers are Animals) resembles a Norton, it may have to do with the fact I loved both of mine neither which sported a hand shift.

New Nortons...

Another pic of the new Nortons...I'm lovin' them!

Norton rules!

I've always been a Norton fan and had two over the years...loved them both. Norton resumed production of the Norton Commando in 2009. They are now ready to bring them to the U.S. again. Check them out at... http://www.nortonmotorcycles.com/

Before and after...

©2010 Paul Jamiol
The question I get asked most is how do these drawings start out. Here's a rough of Crag from BaA2 and how he ended up. In the rough, he was pretty aggressive and showing both attitude and teeth. Seeing these guys are for a kids book, I toned him down a little so not to scare the bejeezus out of the younger set.

My favorite at the Old Orchard Beach custom car show...Chopped 1935 Ford 3-window coupe. Beautiful lines, cool fender skirts...so clean with great lines.
