This is wonderful in every way I can think of from the reflection on the side of the bike to the way the graffiti adds to the atmosphere of the shot. Well done!

I'd like to see more of the K. She's a looker. I miss my GT.

You're welcome to have a look in my site: http://sventekoz.smugmug.com. There are quite a few there, including some of my old MV Agusta Brutale and quite a few other bikes.

It was a fantastic bike to ride, but alas I had to get rid of it when it was less than 12 months old. I'm afraid the build quality was VERY poor, and I was worried that if I kept it I'd wind up hating it and it would cost me a fortune.

I hear you there. Though I liked my K1200GT, I got rid of it for the same reason. I also felt like it would leave me on the side of the road somewhere. It was a 2007, the new design and fraught with throttle and idle issues.
