I've had a few people in the last few days go "ooooh you got a white Harley?!" Did I miss something? is there some old lore about white Harleys?

 

Didn't you hear..........?

 

People go after some colors, but white bikes usually go after people.,,

 

The myth is that black colored bike owners think black bikes are the fastest.

A white bike keeps you on your toes with keeping it clean and looking good.

A black bike can be left dirty and no-one really notices or cares.

A white bike stands out in a pack of Harleys.

A black bike gets lost in the crowd.

White bikes are easy to locate at a bar night or rally.

Black bikes all look the same and disappear (blend in) in a pack.

Any color other than black comes with an additional cost.

Black bikes are entry level paint jobs at no extra cost.

And the number 1 answer is White = Good Guys ... Black is always a sinister gang biker color.

The above comments are for humor only, any connection to reality is just an odd coincidence.

 

I've had a white shovelhead for over 25 years.

 

I set out to buy a white SG a couple years ago, My wife and I walked in the front door of the showrrom, and there it was. We both stopped at the door and she states, "you really like that?" I was ready to say to her before she asked, "That's too much white" We both walked around it and looked at each other and decided not going to happen. On a fairing bike, no thanks, on a non fairing bike it looks classic. IMO

 

That's racist

 

My bike is white, uptight, and outta' sight! Just like a tampon.

 

hahaha love it!

 

That's what my thoughts were too
