I love them both, especially when combined.  Here is a blog of a fantastic print artist by the name of Gianmarco Magnani.  The first few images are rock-related, but towards the middle it gets into his bike drawings.  Positively beautiful pieces.

And a quick glimpse below for those less inquisitive.

 Very Cool!  I'm doing something a bit similar to that with a 72' CB350 twin.

Thanks for sharing.  Those were great pics.  I am an art enthusiast myself.

That's a style very popular in the 70's.  I don't get why he likes to draw bikes without wheels, though...

Uncle Ernie - it's because circles are the hardest thing to draw well.  ;)

GHG - do you mean you are doing it up for real?  or drawing.  either way... post a pic when the time comes!

For real. When I can get back on it, I have to start telling people NO!, So i can finish my own stuff. I'll pop some up when I get home.

 Here you go boggy. Not the same but similar. I'm using the stock tank, well cause I'm cheap. I like working with what you got. Some home depot steel , and your good to go ;) Not sure about a fairing yet though.

Wow.  Too cool man.  I like the knee dents in the tank and the tail section looks really nicely shaped. 

I don't know about your plastic bag carb though.  Might not pull in enough air.  ;)

Please post some more when you get further.  I need a space to work and do this kind of stuff.  Craig's list is loaded with great project bikes - and I've really decided singles and parallel twins are what do it for me.  Got to get something going.

Thanks for posting!

 Yea, this was a 400 dollar craigs list special, a rusted mess as usual ::) Lots of silver solder on that tank ;)
