It's an interesting article.

I'm a closet artist and enjoy reading about the rules of good design, and the way the sketching progressed is fascinating.

It's very unbalanced still, to my eyes, as there should be a triangle between the axles and the steering head, something that makes the Harley 'softail' so right to look at, but the inclusion of ply and ash is a nice touch.

Nice article.

That rear tyre would certainly add patina to your jacket and kecks in the wet.

Ooer!
scared

I know that it is purely a design exercise; but with the wheelbase, the fork rake and the size of that front tyre; it would handle like a sack of spuds.

How about this as an alternative?

I like this Royal Enfield Chopper with Velocette fishtail muffler much more than the Morgan 2/2.

Bingo!

Well done, Jens. That's what I mean about the triangle proportion. So much better.
