Now this would make a wonderful, powerful abstract Meg...:))) Very, very large canvas, (maybe a 4x3 metre) in an ultra modern evironment...:)))
Excellent reflections, light, detail and composition...:)))
Excellent ma'am...:)))
Onie...

"bike on its stand"
Never even occured to me, Meg. Apparently the 1520 was a mainstay of the Honda line since the late 1990s, for 'touring' bikes. As you said, "horizonally opposed", flat 6. And those three bowls up top are carb covers; #3 carb as reference, and 5 other adjustable, one for each cylinder. One intake pipe for each cylinder. One exhaust pipe for each cylinder and a single cam. Water cooled like a car. And with a reverse gear, like a car. No, it never occured to me it was a bike's engine. Although to me the photo suggested it could fill a small car's engine compartment, it's really much more scaled down than that. It's small than it looks in the photo, that is.

Thank you for the comment Joe, I’m pleased you liked it.
Yes you’re right it is a motorcycle, and it had just returned from a hundred and fifty mile trip, our friend who it belongs to said it was dirty…..I couldn’t find a mark or any dust on it… and I just loved the shapes and reflections. 
Meg.

Thanks for the comment but I’m sorry to disappoint you Joe…..it’s not a car, it’s a 1520cc 6 cylinder horizontally apposed Honda Motorbike.
I didn’t rotate anything either (if you look at the reflections you will see the house), as this is the bike on its stand.
This bike is used on a daily basis and had just returned from a hundred and fifty mile trip and had not even been cleaned…... it’s quite a beauty don’t you think? :)

CC. Inline 3? - chromed all over. It's slightly soft in places. And it looks as if you have it rotated 90 degrees. I would imagine it's taken at a show and of a car that's probably trailered most everywhere. I cannot identify the engine, not knowing much about British or European engines. But it sure looks like a lot is going on with that exhaust manifold (I assume it is), which you have at top of the picture, here.

Is it ever clean or brand new! A lot of interesting shapes and patterns as well as textures and surfaces. Looks like a motorcycle engine to me. Good work.
Regards,
Joe
