I try to relate each header's image with something to do with the month. This time it's the cover from Roth's Choppers Magazine Nov. '69 and the drawing I did of it sometime in 1972.
For all you Choppers Magazine fans, here's the actual cover. I recently posted a few Goose-Necks, so why not a Freaky Fork?
Regardless what you think of the strange fork, it's a cool image, and it inspired me. India ink and a black color pencil on illustration board. 1972.
Here's a better look of the featured bike.
Too bad the forks got cropped in the magazine's gutter. I'm not sure his chic was dressed for a putt.
Then as now, guys have always been look'in to be different but, there's a point when it gets ridiculous. Thankfully freaky forks never really caught on.

I think that was first issue of "Ckoppers" I got- I wondered how long it would last before the front end folded up.
Your drawing is pretty cool BTW.
