Always ran some type of Skulls on my Bikes this one will be no different. My Bell has the RideItLikeYouStoleIt flaming skulled rider on it.
I put on what I like and not what others think I might like . My AirBox cover is out getting Pant right now and it will have both JackSkellington (sorta a Skull lol ) and Wings of Death and a WillyG logo in it when all is said and done.

From what I remember green color superstition was from the military. Scout riders riding green bikes made for target practice.
I only know one friend of mine that has a green bike and he's had all sorts of bad luck. Once was ridden into a curb by a cager. Another time he had a deer try to jump over him and knock him off his bike near Cranbrook B.C. Every year it's something else with him. Older gentlemen. Nice guy. Rides responsibly.
Just bad luck every year he's had that green bike.

Green as a bad luck color, maybe or maybe not
2. Green cars. This one too has its origins in the early 1900's. As
the story goes, in 1920, defending Indianapolis 500 champion Gaston
Chevrolet was racing in Beverly Hills when he died in a crash. The
story goes that this was one of the first fatal racing accidents in
the United States. He apparently was driving a green car. And so,
driving a green car became bad luck. Joe Weatherly, a two-time Cup
champion in the 1960's, was apparently terrified of the color green.
He once drove an entire race with no socks on because it had rained,
his socks got wet, and they turned green. He refused to wear them.
But as you know, Bobby Labonte drove the green Interstate Battery car
for years and he's still around. Harry Gant won races driving a green
car. I think that's one superstition that's losing a little bit of
its scare factor.
