Default Crossbones...How about a different color?

Everyone on this site who owns a Crossbones has the black. Don't get me wrong it looks cool, but I'm gettingbored of it already. Anyone dare to be different and get another color? The Olive Pearl is killer looking. Hell, even the Pewter Denim looks good.

Dare to read other peoples posts?

I have the Dark Blue Pearl. I love that I got it instead of black like I wanted.[sm=crossbonesgif.gif]

I was one of the first to buy one and when it first came out, it was only in black. The other colors have just recently begun to surface. I still like my black one .

And anything after a Shovel is crap. Not my opinion, but another example of a single-minded statement.

Seriously, the black is cool, but now everyone has one so how are you guys gonna stand out in the Starbucks parking lot. LOL! Just kidding, but you get what I mean. I understand that a lot of guys getsimilar bikes in similar colors, but the black Crossbones has got to be the most common now...except for the black Nightrain. I was just curious if anyone had pics of their Crossbones in a different color.

wasnt really crazy about the olive. when i bought mine there was a dk blue one in the shop(in the vivid paint) i really liked the black denim better, even though i didnt really have a choice. i have had orange/black hogs, all black, black/orange, and a suede green/black. i am looking forward to the black denim on my new hog.
