I spent the weekend with a friend in East Sussex and could not resist the opportunity to play with his Harley Davidson V-Rod. Looks fabulous, sweet engine but the handling is strange for an aging sports bike rider.

Excellent shots.
One of those would make a great gift, and stick it in the bar... Have on a drink on it. :)

Very Cool. Is it yours? If so, it is definitely not metallic silver!

Beautiful work, Neil.

Interesting bike...quite a departure from the tanks that HD usually builds.

Very nice work Neil. It is nice to see someone take as much care on background as subject - superb mate.

Woah, awesome job! Love the backgrounds and the bike is gorgeous. The sky is amazing and landscape is amazing. Wish I could find something so beautiful around where I live.

Here is another variation of the V-rod. It's a Screeming Eagle, 126 hp with 86 ft. pounds of tork on the rear wheel.

Not real practicle but sure is fun to ride to work!

Okay, other than needing to get a new credit card, can you give us newbies a clue as to what settings you used to get those incredible shots??

How does it feel to be the man!!!!!!!

Your pictures are really great! The bike on the other hand... sorry, but it's butt ugly IMHO. :)

PS. No offense intended. Wouldn't it be boring if we all had the same taste?
