love the LOOK of black and chrome.... nothing comes close to the LOOK and the
resale of a Black bike is generally better. Just my .02 Oh yeah, they are faster............................................ ..........hdman

My baby looks gorgeous right after I get done cleaning her....
1 hour later she looks like Pigpen from Peanuts...

This the first and last black bike I will ever own. I don't care how fast or pretty it looks...

Kinda reminds me of my first wife... That lasted for almost 2 years... another case of the little head doing all the thinking...

My sentiments exactly,
My Dyna would get wiped down with ICE and micro fiber before every ride, as does this one, but I don't recall it being quite this painfull.
Every water spot on the black "pops", and the chrome turns a dull grey.
Maybe once the newness (to me) wears off I will chill a bit about it.

All though I don't feel so bad for I did see a guy in front of the No Name Saloon (Prescott) yesterday wiping his down when he parked it....

Yes, beautiful sitting in the garage but looks sick after about 10 min of the road. I also get a lot of dust so even in the garage after a day or two it starts looking like a brown bike.
