Jake Logo circa 78'
Bit of a character Jake, one of the first to import Drag Specialities Custom Parts
I knocked this up for some adverts I did for him in Superbike Magazine
The bugger then used it on his shop sign -
Motique Claycorner Chertsey Surrey.
Where of course I bought my Sporty, little did I know I'd be living in Chertsey 20 years later.
I gave him the original artwork when he shut up shop in the late 90's and moved to turkish cyprus. This print I found still has my rapidograph pen ink marks on it.
In the days before the machines...

This was a random find for me via Google.
I remember Jake from the business,met him and Joker a couple of times when I was about eighteen through a mutual friend and family. Also remember William of the large teeth who nearly got me caught in them ;)
