Picking up 2010 Ultra Limited in White Ice Pearl - Black Ice Pearl tomorrow. I didn't plan on buying a new bike but I fell in love with this bike.

I had to have mine painted to get white. It is much less dusty looking than the red was after a few hundred miles. I went with Birch White from 02, and really like it.

I agree that the white Harleys are great looking. It's one of the reasons I bought a 2005 RK Custom. Then I found out it was the slowest bike I have ever had!

Every time I got behind a car, the car slowed down to 5 mph under the speed limit. They thought I was a LEO and didn't want a ticket!

If white was a option when I got my bike I would have went with white. I think it looks classy.

I've always liked white as I think that it's a clean lookin' color, and next to it would be silver as far as stayin' clean lookin'.
