One FLSTC in Morocco Gold, 2 Hondas in red/white, just ordered a 2017 FLHR in HC Hot Rod Red Flake and traded the black FLSTC. No more black bikes!

My last 3 bikes have been White. Easiest color, besides silver, to keep clean.

Not for me, I'm just too damn lazy! But they do look GREAT when cleaned up.

I really liked my black bikes. However, the 17's (at least the RG Special) do not come with any pin striping. That was a deal breaker. I've had customs striping done before with mixed results in adhering over time. So this time I dropped an additional $3200 for a paint upgrade. I wonder if that was in Harleys plan.... Looking at my first black vehicle in many years (a new Tahoe), I must have forgotten what a PIA it was keeping my last black car clean..
