 This cavalcade of motorbikes was just ahead of me on a nice wide blvd, and my camera was nearby. These folk were not stopped, just slowed for the stop sign.
Okay, crop, levels, boosted the reds a touch. Desaturated except for reds to give a little impact on this cloudy day.
and smart sharpen.

I think the selective desat works for this shot, however I think it would have been better served to just desat the tailights. 6

I may have cropped this a little tighter at the top. I don't really think the lamp posts are helping. I do like the desat and the subjects.

Interesting PP though the colors of the backlights look a bit over saturated and unreal
