girls and chains …
Notice the upsweeps; there are 4 exhaust outlets. A 45 c.i. harley-davidson has only 2 cylinders.
Thus, the designer/builder has Y'ed each of the exhaust pipes; prob' causes quite a commotion when running.

This isn't solely a photo shoot; she's singing a song in french.

Re: local "car cruise" pics, REBUILD
Interesting still.
One can see
- her smiling face reflected in the mirror
- stage lights twinkling in the chrome
- chrome headlight and front suspension springs
- the dashboard with H-D speedo (I, too, have one of this particular style)
- her left hand on a handlebar grip

Good camera shot … one of the best of her and the bike.

Back in 1969/70, a grayscale (aka B&W) poster of her and the WLA was very popular and stylish to have adorning the wall of your den, game room, garage, etc. I had one. I didn't know then it was a still from a movie film clip.
You have just seen some stills from a video composed by Serge Gainsbourg for "The Brigitte Bardot Show" in 1968.

The song/video was made available to play on the french SCOPITONE, a video jukebox made in the 60s. It used a 16mm film projector, had 36 user selectable choices, and displayed on a 26", high definition color screen.
The french SCOPITONE, 1960s.
I never had the experience of using/viewing one here in the states.

Re: local "car cruise" pics, REBUILD
5 years ago, someone informed me on a bike forum that this scopitone film footage existed.
I stumbled across an .flv file of it on the I'net about a week ago while searching for something else.
Thanks to those who converted the 16mm footage to .flv so I and others can watch this video.
I never dreamed I'd see it in this lifetime.
