Is it just me or do the '17 high-end paint designs suck?

You must be a wise guy with an ugly fat overweight Dresser or perhaps a dumpy uncomfortable Dyna. Everybody knows the Deuce is the KING.

Foreigners like you really shouldn't be allowed to purchase American made products because you obviously do not appreciate classic design.

Look at my classic Deuce and tell me it does not have a LOT of the macho manly true Harley looks of a 60s chop.

Your bike whatever it is is no doubt pretty meh.

(How do you like a taste of your own smart *** tit for tat, hahaha).

I don't care if my bike is "meh" to you. It's mine and not yours. So you keep your ugly bike,and I'll keep my "meh" bike. You're dismissed.

Well, hell, I own Harleys but I don't go online to bitch about everything...must be why I haven't gotten my membership package from the "He-Man Harley Hater's Club" in the mail yet...

But didn't you start this whole thread about how butt ugly the CVO paint designs (especially the SG) were? I thought this whole thread was built on hate. I just stated my "highly subjective and a matter of personal taste" reply.

True I did start the thread. My comments about the paint were mainly directed toward the new CVO paint schemes. The thread was certainly not meant to be built on hate - I love the new models. I know color and bikes are highly subjective. And I even pointed that out in my opening comments. Don't want to offend, just expressing my disappointment in the new design as I was really hoping to snag a new SG CVO later this year.

Sorry for the sharp response to your reply, but I thought that your comment about my bike was kind of rude. But hey, no hard feelings on this end. Let's move on.
