I think that's a hockey helmet???
Also, the background looks like it's supposed to be moving really fast, so why is there a reflection of some guy still on the tank?
Speaking of speed, the handlebars are turned the wrong way for this "rider" to be turning left. (countersteering)

People don't race Boulevards.

to recap...

+ hockey helmet
+ helmet way big for her
+ no leather/mesh jacket
+ open jacket
+ handlebars turning left to go left...? wtf!
+ cruiser motocycle racing?
+ reflection of guy standing taking pic (shopped back)
+ she's racing on a parking lot... full of cars (look ta helmet reflection again)

the handlebars are irrellevent. What if she's turning left at a slow speed?

I think the PS background was for speed effect.

You guys are missing the most important element...she's crossed up in her riding position!

as though she is making a slow turn, letting the bike lean instead of you with the bike. i was gonna say that, i read all the posts only to have the last one agree with what i was gonna say. dangit. :x

That's a sweet Lands End jacket.

you guys would be surprised what smoke-n-mirrors stuff is done with stock photography for ads and such. My wife works in advertising... its quite amusing really.

Headlight is "off". Maybe it just got hit by a bug at 140 MPH?

My two-pennyworth. I recon the bike is on the side stand switched off, just posed-up in a parking lot or a dealership maybe.
