Default Harley pics from the other night

I asked about taking pics of my friends harley the other day. I didnt get any answers by the time i went to go take them but this is what I ended up with. The background could have been much better. I wanted to take it out to the lake. But he didnt get home wil very late and it would have been dark by the time we would have gotten there. So anyway this is what I came up with. Tell me what you think.

l like them a lot and think you have a good eye for composition, and good tech skills with these. Would have liked to see one like your third, only with more of a quartering view in portrait mode where you can see the side of the bike from the front angle.

I like them a lot, but as you said, they need a better background. But anyway, any strobist set up here, as for lighting tips? Great lighting!

I failed to comment becuase I was left without words. I love every one of these photos. These photos are so crisp and clear.

The lighting and reflections are pretty intense. Almost has an HDR feel without being overdone (especially #5). I really like them, they're very well done.

I think they're all cooool. I especially like #'s 3 and 4. I like the last but that fountain is distracting.
