    Is this photochopped?

    Something about this photo just doesn't seem right.

    Yes you're right. There are no people. How did the bike get there?....

    Looks fake to me. The bike doesn't 'fit' in with the background.

    The bike is too bright.

    the light on the helmet looks different to the light on the bike
    and the light in the back ground is different too.
    Sure there could be fill in lighting on the bike as opposed to the bike but is should be the same for the helmet.
    Looks like it has been cut out and put on the background.
    The lens flare on the helmet looks like it has been added later too.

    The rear tyre is 0.2 psi overinflated.......

    Or did I miss the point?

    a point, I mean.......

    A professionally staged and lit exposure that has been manipulated in photoshop. Had the yellows almost entirely removed.

    Yeah i figure as much - i figured this was the new daytona nancy edition.

    Probably what happened was he decided he was going for a ride to take some photos - after 5 hours of cleaning he got some water in the air intakes. The bike then refused to start - so he took some photos of it parked......went for a drive in his land rover vogue and took a lovely background shot.
    Picked up a latte on the way home and sipped it while pretending on photoshop that he is a hard man, and real RAT rider.
