[quote=Beaux;12070972]I'm 54 and been riding black HD's since 76' and I just bought a 2012 Tequila Sunrise/HD orange FLHTK (750 miles), it was time for a change ............ go for it, get the orange!
I'm 53 and fell in love with the Tequila Sunrise / HD Orange when I first saw it.
Got a White Hot Denim SG instead. Big Mistake. Traded it for a brand new 12 Tequila Sunrise / HD Orange Ultra Classic a year later. Lost big time money. Should have listened to my heart in the first place. By now I even have the Tequila Sunrise painted inner fairing.
Had 2 Black Harleys before and got tired of it. The Orange is a keeper.
Ride safe

Getting ready to order a 2014 ultra classic and have a few colors that I like. I know it is preference but I'm just looking for insight. I like the candy orange but question whether it is too flashy for a old man bike. I just don't want it to be one of those colors that you like at first and then wish you never bought a year later. I also like the blackened cayenne sunglow (and so does the wife) . It is a rich looking color butt it looks hard to keep clean. And then these is black but I have never owned anything in black because I don't think I would have the patience to keep it clean. Any input would be appreciated.

Personally, I like the single colors on the Ultra's, so that leaves black (but you said you don't want black), orange, cayenne and midnight pearl. I had an '06 Road King with a color called Black Cherry which is very similar to the cayenne - pretty color.
Orange easier to keep clean. Midnight pearl may as well be black. I'd probably go for the cayenne - rich looking.
