That is the ugliest color I have ever seen. When I first saw it at an H.D. dealership around here, I told one of the salesman that it was hidious and he even said, "Yeah, I don't know what Harley was thinking."

Yeah, that's the "Black Ice/Blue ice". Thankfully the Big Purple Flake looks NOTHING like that. And, it doesn't look like that older pimp purple from a few years ago. It has much more deep blue than purple to it, in a good way. Love that color.

The only thing that could make the purple flake look any more queer is if they put a rainbow on it.
