				could be if they find out he was using company time to do a Ducati background ;)
			
			
			
				Haha....unlikely...I'm a salaried employee so they don't care about my time as long as projects are delivered on time and budget. Plus I work from home  :)
			
			
			
				Nice bike....buuuut, I think the sepia and the bike in full color doesn't exactly work.  Makes it look like it's pasted on the bg.  IMHO, less strength on the sepia and desaturate the bike a bit - if you want that dual sepia/color setup.  Also, if you're going for an old image type of look, add some noise (subtle) and play around with the layer blending modes for the noise layer. 
			
			
			
				something's extremely wrong with the picture of the Monster ....... Catalytic converter shouldn't be there & stock pipes makes the bike not too good looking ;D

Here it is w/less opacity on the bike and a bit more "dust and scratches"
