I guess I'm screwed...My new used Heritage Softail is Yellow with Purple insets...And to think I thought the worst thing about the color is that it reminds me of the Lakers

Now I wonder if it even RUNS like a Black Harley

Sure,

Depending on how the bike looked I'd either keep it that way, or have it sprayed gloss black.

Purple is a royal color....seriously.

Caesar wore a purple robe....all of the caesars.

I was told that real men don't wear purple.

Real men don't care what others think, IMHO.

Look, I'd probably have it painted black anyway.

I'm sure if you contacted the Baltimore Hells Angels chapter, they'd be more than happy to put you in touch with these gentlemen so that you could let them know just how you feel about them wearing purple and embarrassing all of our manhood.

Thank you! Finally! Someone else that gets it. If I ever made a decision about how someone was gonna judge my manhood based on what color I chose to wear, or put on my car, truck, bike etc., that's the day that I'll turn in my man card. I'll wear whatever color I darn well please, thank you.

I have a friend that painted his Street Glide purple.

We named it: "The bike formally known as a Harley"

My friend didn't think it was as funny as we did.

Gay is a choice. Gay is a state of mind.

Purple is not gay. Being gay is gay.

Having 4 out of that last 18 words being gay, is gay. 22.222% is gay.
