Stumbled upon this handsome pair yesterday.

No, Les, it's not art.

However, were you posting it in the right slot, it might well be a good photograph.

Thanks, Rob.
Now, I made it into art.

Hi Les,

On reconsideration, you may be right:

For Ducatis to truly be art they must be going at least 100 mph.
These are stationary, so they might be imitations with a Ducati sticker on the side.   :o

Well, everyday I learn something new. Thanks for the info.

Somewhere I heard, "If everything else fails, make it black and white". So, maybe this third (you may relax now) and the last attempt will do it.
Three very different Ducati versions, they can be hanged on three different walls, or just one of them, or made into a triptych.

When I arrived, the bikes were stationary, but the really handsome pair were the riders, a tall lanky man and a striking brunette.
You don't see many Ducatis here, especially parked like these two.

The best part: "the true contents of Artist's Shit are unknown."

Of Art too.

But Eric, a Ducati is designed to look like it's moving 180MPH while standing still...That's ART.

Here is the can (http://www.tate.org.uk/art/artworks/manzoni-artists-shit-t07667)  For considerably less money, you can license just the photographed artwork.
And it's easy to tell that the product label was produced in dark ages. Very plain, no appealing design or graphics, like you would get today.

Then you blew it. Seamus wouldn't.

I like very much the "conversation" between the two bikes and the two helmets, (obviously the two bikes are talking with strong Emilian accent).

Thank you!
Not only there is a conversation between the bikes and helmets, but also the curb lines on both sides of the street and the yellow dividing street line are trying to impose some order.
