Lovely bike. My dad would go nuts over that. He is always insulting my poor black ice Dyna for not being a bright color.

(will I get laughed at if I add that your bike exactly matches my new nail polish (Chanel Mimosa)?)

doesn't bother me a bit, but then again, my bike is denim black. groupw might have an issue with it, but could always look at it as the glass half full. a bottle of nail polish is gotta be cheaper than what hd charges for touch up paint

btw molly, i really like the black ice as well. one of those colors that when you first see it, you think, meh.... but then really grows on you.

Jeez, I stand SOOOOOOOO corrected!! Thanx SteveO-ll. They say when you turn 55, your mind starts goin' quick!! I forgot about the REAL "old" school. Thanx for the mental slap!! BTW, great pixs. (Maybe it's just the newer 2-1 chromies I see that gives me thought) And, as so well put: "Each to their own"
