Default most motorcyclists...

want to be seen... no?

stopped for coffee before work and pulled up next to a street glide done up in realtree camo... looked like a professional job.. guy said he sent the stuff in to realtree for 2k... wanted a different look..

i asked.. that the blue bike you got a couple of years ago? yep, says he.. apparently he thought there were too many cobalt blue bikes around...

that bike really blends in.. wanted to take a picture but didn't have time..

what say you about a professionally painted realtree camoflauge streetglide?

me.. i say to each their own..

I say BARF! I don't like custom paint, murals,dragons,skulls,wizards,etc. Kills the resale & evokes an image. Harley has the best lookin' paint in the business;why screw with it?

Camo on a bike. Not a good look IMHO.

If it gets parked in the woods he may never find it.

That's a different hunting season altogether!

IMHO I don't care for anything but black paint, but I love what people do with their paint when they have the ***** to make the bike their own. Just hope he doesn't lose it if he parks by a forest!

Blaze orange would be good, kind of like that bright yellow color. How about one in chartreuse!!?

If MoCo could release a good looking green I wouldn't have to re-paint it. No argument that they do the best paint though. Been to the factory in York a few times and they show you what they go through on paint as well as what the paint will hold up to. If I could get Harley to do my custom paint there is no question I would.

Dicky is right on this one, besides, camo and orange belong in the woods.
