Harleys and Other Sketches

One thing I would love to own is a Harley.   The next best thing to owning one (if there is a next best thing) is sketching them.  Every time I see one I have to stop and photograph it.  Then go home and draw it.  Sometimes I just sit and sketch it on the spot.   In Prague during one of my trips to Europe I came across a Lamborghini parked outside a building.  Never thought I would ever see one let alone find one in a poor country as Czech Republic.  Next day sitting at restaurant with friends a mob of English Bikers came up to me and asked if I was the fella that drew the car.  They saw me that day as did many others that stuck their head over my shoulder.  They wanted to see how the sketch ended up.   The same thing happened a couple of years ago, I was drawing the Sydney Town Hall clock from the window of Maccas restaurant.  The trouble was the Mono-rail line blocked part of my view.  I had to keep standing up to see over it.  It must have looked funny.  People came back half an hour later just to see how it, the sketch,  turned out.
