Thought I would give it a shot, since I shoot mostly sports.

I can see, in the second picture, that I should have been in the shade.
C and C and editing always welcome.

Might have been better to put some distance between you and the background to get you more isolated.
background is very important in portraits as a messy BG can hurt.

Also watch your cropping as you seemed to have lost the kickstand

On the first attention at the door on the left, you have space so better use it, in this manner you could avoid this problem.
On the second if you use level and you have a raw you could export two different image, one exposed for you and one exposed for the background so probably you could avoid or at least reduce the area overexposed.
It isn't an operation difficult and in that case is even fast.
Good moto.

first its the photography obsession, then a new Harley. Your wife must be ... kind of furious?!!
As for the photos, maybe you should sit on the bike and shoot with different backgrounds, a little more grungy perhaps....

I see where your going with this, lol!
But the Harley has been with me a long time.
The wife is new, lol.
Maybe you could show my pic with a grungy background.
I'd like to see that.
Thanks
