LOL I remember that. My Homies back in the day (East San Jose) use to answer "yeah but it sure looks good broken down on the side of the freeway"

Word!

Still love black and chrome!

I had a chromed out softail for 10 years, got tired of trying to keep it clean all the darn time. When I traded to a bagger I went wrinkle black and gloss black powder coat. No extra cleaning steps or polishing, just wash/rinse and dry and get back to riding!

I also remember the saying (which I just made up) that "black won't get you back..."
