Only if you're superstitious. Or maybe like I tell the kids at work: 56 isn't old.

Never had bad luck with my green bike. (Yeah, I know, sure is a funny looking Harley.)

Lime green bikes are representative of a certain MC here in SoCal.

Tracks were their own bad luck. I avoided those monstrosities like I avoided Clarksville Trailer Manatees.

Green bikes may be bad luck but only if you don't have any black to cancel out the bad green ju-ju.

Nice looking bike. Love the clean look of the EVO Road King.

My very first street legal motor bike was a green 1970 Honda CB 350. It was the luckiest happiest day in my life up to that point, and the next few years I spent with her were some I will never forget. So don't believe the green bike myth, it just ain't so!

It is t superstition, it's fact (in my case). When that mustang made a uturn in front of me, I was on a green bike. Never again
