Whoo!! the first sale of "MY" first figure, commissioned, drawn and paid for by me, hope this is the start of a roll.
 
Next bike figure will be inspired by the picture if  I sell enough     [attach=1]

Good luck with the bikes Brian and the one you've painted is very good indeed.

Looking good Brian ;D

I picked one of these up at Figureworld and I had a feeling I recognised it from somewhere then I remebered this great Dave Mann painting from Easy Riders magazine;

Ghost Rider!

I'm trying to work out how to create a 'Pepper's ghost' effect with the Civil War flat lurking in the background

Very nice - made me think of Steppenwolf's Born to be Wild. The next one is going to be a challenge to the engraver - lots of detailed machinery and perspective without distortion. Then there is the rendering of glossy paints, chrome, reflections, etc. It's tempting...
