Default Your age vs color choice?

Been back and forth between the Ultra and SGS, a lot. Test drove both and am now leading toward the SGS. The ride of the ultra was softer but the sleek look of the SGS is hard to turn away from. Now, after months of debating which bike I am posed with the color question. At 44 I feel in between peg scrapping young and honey lets pull over at the next gas station.

So;

1. Grasshoppers and grandpa's alike what's your ride color?
2. What was the reason for the color choice? You liked looking at the bike, you looked good on the bike or just whipped and the decision was made for you?
3. How old are you?

Please help, its almost crunch time. Pictures are greatly welcomed.



Thanks for the input.

Charcoal over silver. I picked it because I felt it was the classiest selection available. Yeah, yeah, yeah... I'm a white-haired 58-year old geezer.



I need to update this pic, as the bike is substantially more chromed now...

I was between the SGS & the Limited and choose the Limited. Today is the first bright sunny day that I was able to get out on the bike. And I'm so glad I went with the amber whiskey/black color.

1. amber whiskey/black
2. I've always like the amber color and with amber/black the pinstriping is red. That combo won me over.

I chose the Limited in Charcoal Gray/Black.

I just fell in love with that color as soon as I saw it online.

I think the Limited is a better choice than the SG. You can make the tour pak detachable, put a lower screen and change the seat and you've got a stripped down cruiser. Five minutes and you're back to a full on tourer.

BTW, I'm 58.

I'm 44 and went with the Amber Whiskey. I flip-flopped between Charcoal Pearl Gray, Sand Camo, and Amber Whiskey.

I'm happy. Reason: It's just a sweet color and doesn't blend in with all the black, silver, and red bikes.
