40,000 Miles of Patina
Original graphite drawing by Lou Sprockett:
"World traveler Jacqui Furneaux’s Royal Enfield Classic 500cc Bullet - bought in Chennai and ridden seven years through twenty countries back to Bristol. We had the pleasure of meeting Jacqui and photographing her beautiful motorbike in the summer rain at the Malle Mile, just before Jacqui raced her bike, with loaded saddle bags, in the Sprint!
This motorbike wears every mile of its adventure and the patina of the journey is a gift for any artist to capture and portray; from the road wear on the fender and frame, to the repaired Enfield logo on the tank, through to the hand painted list of countries traveled through. A truly unique classic."
