My other bike has a little green on it.
Never heard of green being bad luck on a motorcycle.

If it was my favorite color, I wouldn't hesitate to own one.
It's not though.

I like green. I like green a lot. I've never heard of green being unlucky on a Harley. In fact, it has been a great color for Harley from the MOCO's earliest days. If you go to the Harley Museum in Milwaukee, you'll see a lot of green.

One thing though, I googled the subject and I ran across this excerpt from The Church of Satan website which reads, "Green is loving, sharing and accepting, it is the color of natural magic and has strong associations with Pan, the powerful spirit of nature and fertility. Green is the color of all spirits of the forests and jungles, druidism, shamanism and Wiccan nature spell craft. Green is joyful abandonment, ecstasy, ravishment and the richness of spring. However, if the shade of green is that of the Ford Motor Company, then you're f***ed."

Hey, enjoy your bike and ride safe this summer. Cheers.

My buddy had a dark green Volushia a few years back. He crashed it.

That's all I got.
