Harleys are quite a rare sight in my part of the UK and this was even more eye-catching.
It is designed by Porsche (so the owner told me) to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the company.
Nice soft light on the camera side of the bike was offered by the sandstone frontage of an old bank, that is now a Starbucks. The owner was drinking a grande latte when I pounced :-)
Very sexy bike - I want one!

Definately a great shot and I imagine it must really look fantastic in high resolution - I like what you did with the lines in the road and you did an excellent job of highlighting the metallic qualities of the bike.
Just say no to tilt. (perfectly exposed and focused, so you get an 8 in spite of the gimmick. Don't mind me, it's just my own personal anti-tilt vendetta ;)
Love the angle, lines, and processing. Hope this is not one of those photos that will be overlooked because it doesn't meet everyone's personal definition of fantasy.
