Hmmm...  Those signs on the buildings in the photo would lead one to believe the guy ain't in New York. Maybe on the "southern" side of Laredo,Texas, but not Nu Jerk City.

This 'unique' bike photo has been floating around for a few years. Same fender paint. Same rider dressed same way. Photoshop?

IIRC, one even popped up on a Daytona Speed Week photo site along with a few real "ladies" in similar riding poses. A quick glance at the GlossyNews homepage and I'm thinking they're pulling someone's leg... Lou.

Quick question: Where do you stash the bike's tool roll?  ;D

If you click on the picture, it enlarges, the telephone number on one of the signs in the background, is not a number in the US at least .

Hmm, It would certainly improve his performance if he added a dual disk up front.  :o

The first time I saw that pic I thought - that's gotta be from Italy - they are usually the ones to do stuff like that - I wouldn't be surprised if it was original Silvio Berlusconi's bike..

I just hope it doesn't catch on.  To see more knock offs like that would grow tiring, real fast.  Jerry Springer's show was annoying enough, then all the others copycats came out of the woodwork and completely sunk any last hopes of dignity remaining for our society.  It makes me feel like a prude.  Which I doubt I qualify for.

It looks like MEXICO CITY. Definitely spanish speaking and the steel shutters and razor wire are a good indicator.
