Ridden in Tribute

Original graphite drawing by Lou Sprockett:
"This Royal Enfield Classic 500 Pegasus Edition is one of only 1000 motorcycles created in tribute to the 125cc motorcycle "The Flying Flea' made by Royal Enfield to be deployed by parachute for the Airborne Pegasus Regiment behind enemy lines during the Second World War.
From its vintage colors and graphics to the carefully designed saddlebags made to reflect the parachutes used to drop the original bikes, down to the yellow stripe for the center of gravity, this motorcycle pays homage to its predecessor. It's a good-looking bike, meant for those country roads and back lanes, taking your time to enjoy the ride and knowing each time you stop it's going to draw those admiring looks and start a conversation."

HB and 2B pencil on heavyweight archival Atlantis Heritage Drawing paper and fixed to preserve and prevent smudging with Daler-Rowney Colourless fixative.
