Yes and then immediately paint it flat black.

I'm a Ravens fan, and I ride a purple wide glide.

It gets lots of compliments, and has won and placed in numerous shows.

It's just the bike I ride now...

If the price was good enough to provide for paint.

Most people called my Black Cherry bikes purple. Means nothing to me.

I don't like white (no color) but it's the only color my brother will buy.

I don't like wearing anything colorful so the bike offsets all my black garb.

My first Harley was an 01 1200C in Concord Purple. It was a great bike and looked good. Second one was a Dragonfly Green FatBoy. Loved that bike.
To each their own.

Try not to deal in absolutes, but probably not.

Why not? People buy Green and Yellow putts. Besides....this is purple.

Not everything from the 70s should be revived. The purple metalflake paint is something I can live without.

My last set of tins were deep cobalt blue and vivid black. I liked the colors well enough, except for in certain light, when the blue looked dark purple.

Depends; I've seen some purty bikes glittering amethyst and some really ugly flat purple beasts someone had obviously painted that way on purpose for some (God only knows!) reason.
