Sorry for the quality. This is actually a (rather rough) sketch of Dinah (from Caterwaul) and her motorcycle. Not sure what kind it is, since I made it up off the top of my head. Probably a Triumph or something, since she's British. Maybe a Norton or BSA, hell if I know.
Had to tweak the ever-loving shit out of the thing in order to get it to show up; a lot of the finer details got lost as a result. I realize there are a lot of perspective issues with the wheel hubs; I hate drawing complex ellipses without a template of some kind, but since this is only a rough sketch, it's not necessary that everything is spot-on. That kinda shit gets fixed in the second sketch, which is where the smaller details are generally added and the lines are straightened out and what-not.
Enjoy!

For making it up off the top of your head, you remembered enough standard details to give the illusion of an actual bike(to those who know no better at least, I included).
I love it, and coincidentally am thinking of the song Machine Head by Bush. Here's why: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zjgdhr5fRUA

Thanks! I build motorcycles as a hobby, so I've had a fair bit of experience with 'em (built 3 from the ground up). I've got one bike I'll be converting to a cafe racer, and there'll be a LOT of modifications done to it as a result.
It may not be able to reach the ton mark, but I'm sure it'll be scary as hell scraping the bottom of that triple-digit number!

In the mid 50 they did did hybrid the two. It was called a Triton. Here is a sweet site I think you'll like...

Yeah, bikes are a pain in the ass to draw. It's not so bad when they're parked on a center stand, but when they're leaning over, you have to tilt the plane the bike is on at a different degree than the background plane. If the front wheel is turned, that has to be on a different plane too, since the forks are angled and not up-and-down.
But it was a fun challenge.

Not bad but we all know that real American bikers ride only Hardly Hogs
But since she's a Brit its gotta be a BSA as it looks nothing like the Norton my grand pappy rode as a dispatch rider during the big one of 1939-45 (ah....World War 2)
Mind you I wouldn't mind riding "Bitch" with her on that bike but I don't think there's room for two on that thing.
Nice pic I'll gice you $20 to change the 59 to 69 on the finished pic.

Heathen!!!!!! O_O
The only biker you know that drove his BMW into the Rhine river just to prove a point!
Ok so you want to play hard balls do you!
I'll now pay you $35 to change the number!
Don't force me to go to another artist only one-tenth as good as you to get what I want!
BTW why would any Brit want to join a bike club that drives circles around cafes?
Sounds kinda lame to me O_o

Well, the Caterwaul universe is a similar parallel to our own. They have a lot of the same things, yet also many things we do not have. Wow, how's that for a fucked-up sentence structure?
Case in point: in their world, Desoto, Packard and Tucker still produce cars. Sadly, that's not the case here.

It barely qualifies, because I was able to understand it easily.

And it's also possible that some of their companies never existed in our world at all.

Was listening to The Detachments' cover of "Make It Easy on Yourself" when I saw this motorcycle, and the two made me think of Psychomania (1971), that movie with Nicky Henson riding motorcycles and worshiping Satanic frogs... er, in other words this is fantastic
Yeah, I'm doing okay now. I have to have an artificial stent replaced every 4-6 months, so they gotta knock me out and do the surgery a few times each year. I just usually feel like shit for a few days-a week after the procedure.
I've got a comic I'm working on, but I don't think it could be referred to as "sensual"...

Don't know how i missed this when you uploaded it, its fantastic, two of my favorite things.. bikes and furries :P
Wish i was half as good at drawing bikes (looks like a triton to me btw .. but i'm no expert on 60's bikes lol) and yeah makes me want to get on my bike too now its back from being fixed (diesel+wet, too much throttle and a lack of talent....) shame the roads over here are lethal in winter :(

It's not a real bike, man. Just something I kinda cobbled together based upon different types of cafe racers I've seen over the years.
And yeah, I know about bad roads. We had that blizzard blow through here the other week, and I tried taking the bike out when the streets were nothing but ice.
I DID make it through the neighborhood and around the block. But the other roads were ALL like that, so I turned around and headed back home. I ended up going out a few days later, when the ice was turned to slush and the main roads were mostly clear.
Man, you haven't LIVED until you've had a sphincter-puckering moment sliding a bike around on ice!

You're like my father. Always on the bike, regardless it was winter or summer...
He survived once a crash with... a hornet (Vespa crabro) and got stung two times while driving. He was almost unable to speak whe he returned home (the nasty venom paralised his face muscles).

My father wore the full gear, but the hornet somewhat was sucked in into his jacket sleeve... and he was stung twice in the chest and belly, as the result.
The Eurpean hornet venom is rather potent, so even face was paralysed. Or it was an allergic reaction.
Regardless, that was really nasty.

Did his gloves not cover the wrists of his jacket? That's precisely why I wear gauntlets now.
I don't like insects of any kind, and make it a habit to kill 'em whenever they get into the house, regardless of what they are. I had some weird white and black striped bug land on my helmet while on the highway one. I saw the wing fluttering by the edge of the visor, so I thought the impact had killed it. But nooOOoo, I had to watch in growing horror as the little fucker crawled down into the chin intake vents on the front of the helmet, and emerge inside the helmet about half an inch away from my face.
I was able to keep my cool until I could find a place to pull off 5-6 minutes later. Had to be careful pulling the helmet off so the little bastard wouldn't brush up against me in the process. It flew off before I could kill it; I still don't know what the hell it was.

Probably yes. It has happened during the 80's when the Poland was still under communist rule - the proper wear for bikers was difficult to obtain.

Dolichovespula maculata
Or maybe Dolichovespula adulterina or White striped ichneumon wasp? The Google will reveal the photos. If it was something like those bugs I've listed, probably you've avoided a nasty, dangerous sting.
