The inspiration behind this painting is Lynn’s long-time love of motorcycle riding and a very active imagination. Rollie Free pictured on the motorcycle below held the land speed motorcycle record for almost 20 years.

In 1948, Rollie recorded 150.3 MPH on the salt flats of Utah. His clothing was stripped off him from previous attempts and this photograph is his record-breaking ride.

Lynn pondered what would it look like if Rollie was Amish? And thus, the painting was born.
