But I have a question. Why do guys paint their bikes purple? This bike looks GREAT!! The build is top notch. But the purple paint just..............Like I said maybe it's the beer,but I don't think I have ever seen a bike that was purple that caught my eye.JMFO

Maybe it was built for one of the Galloping Gooses ? I think it looks good though. Of course I don't mind the purple color either.

Have a buddy who's got a 03or 04 darker purple,,, didn't like it at all at first..but I'll have to say it don't seem bad at all after being around it several yrs....

I've seen others that I like less...He does have quite a bit of leather on it and I like leather so maybe that's why..

Oh I agree, we should ALL ride the same color bikes, then all paint our houses the same color, then our cars, then....

You know what the difference is between purple and red don't you?........The tightness of the grip of course.

Well personally I don't care alot for purple, but if I did I wouldn't be very concerned what anyone else thought about it.
