I've featured pen and ink drawings previously on my blog...see over on the RHS under "Motorcycle pen and ink images" and collect them in a folder, having scanned them from a variety of sources, many from "The MotorCycle" and "MotorCycling" the two major British motorcycle magazines, now defunct, but the copyright is owned by Morton's Motorcycle Media in the UK to whom I acknowledge their use.
This selection is in general of technical tips and many are useful today...plus the odd cartoon....
Note I've added some more within several hours of my first post......

I had intended this blog to be on Vincent speedometers.., but it isn't quite ready and as  said I have a particular admiration and fascination for the line drawings used in the 1920's/30's before photographic art took over to illustrate motorcycle magazines of the time.
Friend Gert Boll obliged with something different when he knew I had a small collection in my archive of the French motorcycle magazines "Moto Revue".
He emailed me copies pages from "Moto Revue" and "Moto Magazine"with examples of a pen and ink drawings illustrating them from the 1920's to about 1950....
So lets wander through some and if your French is up to scratch, you can read the text.....

I've run pen and ink drawings from "MotorCycle", "MotorCycling" and other sources over several previous blogs....see Motorcycle pen and ink images in the subject listings off to the RHS of the blog.
I admire the skill of the artists.....
I keep a folder titled "Fillin Drawings" in my Aust. VOC magazine, FTDU, file......
Lets have a look at some for this blog....
No particular theme or order.....
