Nice set of images. Great PP (not to mention nice machinery). But I thought it was always raining in Gotham City.

Love 'em for all the reasons mentioned above. Outstanding photography.

I hope you treated the bull kindly, I want to see him up and running ASAP.

Very nice, never thought of Gotham as motorcycle friendly but with the lock down it could be pretty cool on a bike!

Putting this post back to top!

I don't recall seeing these images when they were originally posted, but they are outstanding. There was probably no other time that these images could be taken. Well conceived photo shoot!👍

Nice Harley, in fact all the pix in this series are quite good. Favourite for me, has to be the helmets on the horn tips of the NY bull.

Thank you! I had to admit, with all the bad things happening back then; it was fun to cruise around the city empty. I guess it was once in a lifetime opportunity

Our son is an avid motorcyclist, like his ol' dad.

A few years ago he was touring in NZ on a rented motorcycle (BMW G/S) during a time when they were experiencing fierce forest fires across the country. Authorities had evacuated a number of towns due to the nearness of the fires and had police / military escorting the few travelers through the empty towns.

He arrived at one evacuated town early in the morning (just after midnight), and the NZ military escorted him on his BMW bike, along with a few transport trucks through the dark, barren streets. He said it was a very strange experience...like something out of a zombie movie scene.

But fortunately with no zombies to contend with.

I like the one where the NYSE bull is licking the girl's arm.

He's a very affectionate bull.
