This is a black-and-white photograph of a person riding a motorcycle on a street at night. We only see the back of the person. They wear a leather jacket with a white skull and text saying "Chicago Outlaws." There are cars to their right, as well as illuminated signs. The street stretches ahead, lined with evenly spaced streetlamps.
