Forget her t!ts (I'll handle those), but notice her hair hangs to the left, as opposed to straight down as gravity would have it. :grin:

On the other hand...I would. :bigok:  :bigok:

I think you guys need to put your glasses on, there are sparks behind the tailpipes. And I'm thinking the pass. was just cheesing for the camera in a very Chris Kattan way.

As for the other pic, I'd hit it :bigok:

The reflection on the Goldwing's front disc cover (horizon of a green field) would lead one to believe that this is a real photo...of course, that reflection could have been created with image software?  I vote that the over-all photo is genuine.

I am sure it is real. I saw this picture many years ago during a roadtest in Motorcyclist magazine, '91/'92 I believe. There was also a shot of the rider sitting in the pillion seat at highway speed with a caption discussing the virtues of cruisecontrol.

Now Murphy being Murphy, now that its said, now some stupid plick, like a younger version of me will prove everyone wrong and do it.
I remember in 80, everyone said  no-one would be able to get a 80 FXWG flame glide power monoing, Well let me tell ya all, it can be done, ok it aint cheap but with B grind cams S&S Carb, Dyna S ignition, avgas, and some minor gearing changes you can get them vertical, but **** me standing, it will scare the living bejesus out of ya. :duh: cause I had to run home to change me undies.
Yep I aint changed a bit in all that time. just me rides. :beers:

Fake. The sunlight is hitting the fenceposts from the left and hitting the bike from the right.

What makes you think that? The bike is casting a shadow from the left foreground towards the right background and the sun is reflecting in the rear saddlebag.




If the wheelie was pulled on the roll, the front wheel will stop rotating if it stays up long enough.

If you copy the photo to an editing program, and then blow it up 500-600%, there's some unexplainable 'smearing' between the bottom of the rear wheel, and the muffler.  The riders foot has been played with, and there's some editing up by his hip, also.

Well for one there is the lack of sparks from the dragging exhaust tips


If you look close enought, you can see some sparks aft of the exhaust.

The sun flares on the bike, the bags, the helmets all come from the right. Look at the front fork tube above the seal, bright in front, dark in back. Now look at the fence post, dark in front, bright in back.  Ta-Daa!
