self-portrait on old Indian Motorcycle


I was inspired by Andrea's portrait of me in my motorcycle gear to do a self portrait on an Indian. In 1964-65 (I'm giving away my age here, if you didn't already know it), I owned a 1949 Indian. This is not it, but an older one I used for the art. I have, believe it or not, NO pictures of that amazing motorcycle. But I had fun--on the bike(s) and on the art. I did the piece in metallic markers, but you can't tell in the scan.

    No doubt you are smiling when you go back through your memory garden.

    Thanks--it is mostly out of my imagination, as I rarely actually got to ride that particular bike--wish I had.
