Myth: Green Color, Bad Luck on a Harley ?.
After seeing Green Apple on Ultra Classic or Kryptonite Green on Street Glide, I eventually liked the colors on the 2011 Touring Bikes, but a friend of mine told me that Green produces bad luck on Harleys
Isn't that true ?. I sure hope that I'm not that gullible here. Have the desire to ask this question on an awesome site here.
IMO, Green do rock in my eyes.

I had heard from an old school biker that green could blend you into the landscape and people at the blink of an eye couldn't tell between you or the grass on a hillside, field so on and so forth. Is it true? Who knows, but I still have a Gremlin Bell.

I though the only thing "green" on a bike comes from all the money we put into them.
However I think the new color is pretty cool
