She has small reflectors, but her ears have been chromed.

Her reflectors look a normal size, and as for her chromed ears!

A fairly current photograph and possibly a riff on this type of shoot with Francois Hardy in the sixties.

A little desaturation (colour removal) and lifted contrast to bring something of a vintage B&W feel to make it convincing  :)

Strange reg plate! Maybe mock up for the shoot. C90 in the background too.

This one is real and taken in about 1970, my poor grammar but I was indicating that the first one in this thread is a modern attempt at this 1970 feel with no motorcycle clothing,  helmet etc.

The woman in this last one is Francois Hardy, at the time a prominent french singer actress,  even then wanting to be associated with the Honda 750 such was it's importance and fame  ;D

Which itself was probably inspired by this film from 1968

She didn't ride the bikes,

All the riding was done by Bill Ivy.

Which explains why a Harley went so quickly.

The film is regularly on channel 81 Talking pictures.
