Norton & Triumph Tshirt designs
Monday, September 20th, 2010
Above are two T-shirt designs I recently uploaded to my portfolio, I thought to add it here on the blog to provide a bit of information about the bikes and rider that don’t seem appropriate on a portfolio but are important nevertheless. If you know me personally you have doubtless seen me wearing the black shirt on many an occasion.
The rider is my grandfather, Garth McBryde, who rode, created and fixed motorcycles his whole life. He had a huge passion for vintage bikes and it was his recent passing prompted the designs. The Black shirt has an image of an early 50′s Norton 650 twin, either a Tiger 100 or 110. The white image is of another early 50′s bike, a Norton ES2 500cc single. It may be noted that both original photos were taken before 1961, before the worlds first mandatory Motorcycle Helmet Law was introduced in Australia.
