This is a little drawing I made as a gift for my dad, who's birthday it is today.
The motorbike is a 1964 JAWA 250. Dad bought it last fall and has been working on it all winter long. He did everything from reupholstering the seat to fixing the engine to prettying up the paint and shining the chrome, all by hand. It's now pretty much as good as new, or as good as a 40 year old bike ca be.
And yes, my dad does look like that.
