Best explanation I've heard yet. I first heard of the "Green Bike Jinx" back in the '70s ... I can say this: I've had two green bikes and they both broke down - catastrophically - on trips ... I also worked in an H-D dealership and we had a green Buell that we could NOT get running right ..... so ... draw your own conclusions.
Side note: A couple years ago H-D had a green paint job in the "Hard Candy" line - it was called "LUCKY Green" ~~~ funny
My last bike and current bike both of which ive painted a form of green. Give the dyna a few months and I'll probably paint it again. This is the 3rd color in the year and half I've owned it.
Synergy green with green pearl over it. Custom mixed at work. Kinda bounces from green to bluish
Here is a beautiful Radioactive Green bike we saw on a recent poker run. I fell in love with it, the guy said it was for sale and I almost had a stroke when he gave me the asking price. Still a sweet setup and got me thinking once again about the Breakout.
