Laverda Rider and Artist

HI—I’m a disabled pensioner in constant pain for more than 10 years after an accident at work with no payout. I’ve won more than two dozen awards at competitive fine art exhibitions all over Australia in the last few years with pencil drawings of motorcycles. I’ve printed four of them in limited edition fine art format. Each one took hundreds of hours (the Laverda took 572 hours).

I’ve also got an old motorcycle which might interest you (the only one I’ve ever had). I was halfway through rebuilding the engine and repainting the tank when I smashed my back in ’96.
