I'd like to see...
1. It shot from the other side, or from a lower angle level with it from this side.
2. More separation between the windshield & fender & the background. Maybe a lighter sky... some of the best "night shots" I've seen were taken before it's totally dark while there's still some light left in the sky. You don't need much, but you need some.
Lets See Your 30 sec. exposures (http://photography-on-the.net/forum/showthread.php?p=4476828)
3. Less glare from the highlights on the back.
4. Some shots of it in natural "late light." See my Sig.

Note: I was just testing out my new 40D that night.
No 30 second shots were taken...

I like the first image except I think the light on the bike trunk is to much, kinda distract you from the rest of the bike.
The rider profile portrait looks really good. But in my opinion I think I would edit out the lights in the back ground to the right and left of the riders head. But again that is my opinion.

Thanks for the comments guys,

This was just a quick setup to try out my new canon 40D, and play around some with my Lumopro LP120 speedlights.

It was like: Hey you got your new cam, Cool!, Let's go do some shots of me and my bike..

Well I'm still trying to learn all the new feautures on the 40D, Had an XTi, But I sold it to get the 40D...
