I pulled up beside a guy on a odd pinkish/purple Harley one day.. it was decked out really nice, but an unusual color..

Great big guy, with all the tats.. and patches, and "rough tough biker look"..

I say "Nice bike."

he looks at me, and if looks could kill this one would have and he says, "IT"S SALMON!"

...well.....ooooookay...

Colors are colors, you either like them or you don't
and insecure jerks either like them or make fun of them.



i am proud to have a chickbike

Default Chick color

When I first got the Heritage in my avatar. I thought it was a chick color. (bought it from a friend dirt cheap) When I finished doing my thing to it, I no longer thought it as quite a chick color.

I like the purple and black 2011's and am looking at a 2010 painted that way. I drove a purple camaro(wifes)for 15 yrs and don't think I ever heard a smart *** comment about it. Most guys that make comments about bikes being chick bikes, are most likely jealous that some chicks might ride them in the ground. You have to be comfortable in your skin and what you like and let everyone else FOCUS.

a friend of mine has the ultra in those colors. a 2008 model if i'm not mistaken.

and i gotta admit, at first i thought that black ice color was the most god-awful ugliest color ever. but i know someone who has one in a dyna (and it just happens to be a chick), but i have to admit that color is growing on me.
