My bike was orange, before orange was cool. lol

 

through 2000 my bikes were all black. likewise, in 2000 I bought a black Deuce. Chromed it out, pepped it up to 108 HP and TQ. Then I saw a numbered HD tangerine paint set with ghost flames. Patience grasshopper. A new set appeared on ebay. Bought it. Did the work myself, and sold the black paint set on ebay.

I prefer the Deuce for riding in the city. The Deuce is set up with a Corbin Solo. Then I bought a copper/blk 105th FLTR. I prefer it when two-up or for the long ride. Does that make me a RUB? Its hard work being a RUB. Trust I am entitled to some name like "RUB" for paying the all the taxes I do other than "sucker."

Call it tangerine, call it sedona, call it copper (my 2008 Fltr 105th), its all orange to me. I saw a Sedona FLTRX at the dealership last week. The first 2.5 minutes were "love." That got me thinking of trading in my '08 FLTR copper/blk for a 2011 FLTRX in Sedona. Worth it?

 

I think it's funny that traveler started this thread and now he has a , *gasp*, Sedona Orange Street Glide. Hilarious.

 

Hmmm well I don't remember that I have ever owned a bike that wasn't, at least for the most part, black. Must be in a rut. I have a friend who just bought a Road Glide in the orange. Never been a big fan of the RG, but I have to admit...his looks pretty sharp in that color.

 

I say ride what you like... be it lime green or hot pink, it's all the same to me.

For me though, it's black.

Black never goes out of "style" LOL

 

Road King Standards look awesome in Sedona Orange...

 

Now you tell me. Could have painted my Sportster, put on a shark nose, modded the engine to a 96, and everything else it would take to create my brand new Road Glide. Any other words of wisdom before I make another huge mistake?

 

Is it "justjohn" or "jealousjohn"?

 

My first choice was a vivid black 103 SG. Then they made the mistake of rolling out a 96" Sedona Orange SG one day before the paperwork was signed. That was all it took. I wasn't aware of any craze for the orange at the time, but I'm sure glad I picked that color.. I love it in the sun..

 

I bet being a RUB beats being a poor, saving money from multiple paychecks to afford parts, can't always ride because gas is expensive biker like me.
