Default Don't buy a yellow SE Fat Bob, it will get you killed

The black one is safe as is the gray/blue, but the yellow is dangerous. Since buying mine I find that I am constantly looking down at the tank. Where the black quartz intersects the chrome fuel and fill caps, where the red stripe separates that black and the yellow tank and where the the chrome console is dazzlingly in the middle of it all.......Well it's just not possible to keep from looking at it. It gets worse to. When the sun comes out the color show really starts. The yellow now becomes a prism of colors, mainly tangerine pearl and lime green pearl. When that happens my glances are changed to stares. Sometimes long stares. I figure it's just a matter of time before I run off the road.
When I first saw the SEFB in yellow I knew that was what I had been looking for. A totally unique bike in any color, the SEFB in yellow is uniquely unique. I've had so many compliments on the bike although not a color loved by all as witnessed by two of my friends who said' I'll get used to it". But they're are in a huge minority. When I pay $25,000 dollars for anything particularly a motorcycle, I want it to grab attention. For good or bad I want people to go WOW! I want something that stands out like the proverbial sore thumb. BTW, it performs pretty well also. Yellow Screaming Eagle Fat Bob, buy the black or the blue but for gods sake don't buy the yellow one, it's DANGEROUS!

As a part time philanthropist here I feel obligated to save your life. You should give me your very dangerous yellow screaming eagle FB and I'll hook you up with my much safer vivid black FXDC, even steven.
