ANOTHER 70's ODDBALL

Rotring



I stopped using rotrings in 1989.... I feel the desire coming back after 20years.. above is a 50's rotring and a drawing  of a motorcycle boardtrack supported by giant pushrods mounted in a tappet block. The track went through the bathroom of a suburban house so I could say hello to my then girlfriend [who was always in the bath] - this was my second year of studies and clearly I didnt have to worry about much.
