A couple of weeks ago I went out here in Denver on a Sunday (the car dealerships are closed then) and was after some classic car shots. Did get quite a few of those also. However at a Corvette dealership I was at, a guy pulled up on his "Fat Boy" Softail, and I proceeded to ask him if I could have a lil impromptu photoshoot with his bike. Boy was he ever excited lol I shot about 70 shots of it and these are a few choice ones. Bikes are REALLY hard to shoot ...by far MUCH more difficult than cars. I wanted to go with kind of a retro look and feel with these shots.
