I only know two people over the years who have owned green Harleys. One person crashed on his twice. The second time caused a brain injury that left him disabled. The second guy was luckier. The bike caught fire in his garage and burned it to the ground.

Green motorcycles are bad luck.

I like the green on mine. I know it looks black, but out in the sun it is a very dark, deep green.

Green bikes rule. Custom paint done about two years ago. Dark green pearl, black and bare metal (sealed and cleared)

Great looking rides! I personally like green on trucks, suvs, jeeps & muscle cars.

Green is bad luck for motorcycles? Someone better tell the folks at Kawasaki.

I've always heard of the superstition but I've owned a couple green bikes and they were just fine. I like the green colors.

Nice green bikes. I just stood under a ladder and smashed a mirror in honor of your lovely green bikes.
