Definitely looks like silver is winning.  I'd rather have a blue one to be honest so I added some blue to mine.

Some people try to turn back their odometers. Not me, I want people to know "why" I look this way. I've traveled a long way and some of the roads weren't paved.

I believe that the 09 red is the prettiest.  That said I've an 08 silver, kinda boring, and a 10 blue. The blue isn't bad, but scratches are devastating.

I wanted an 09 in red.....But wound up with black.

Oh, just bump drafting for a while after blowing past the black ones; gotta let them catch up and lead occasionally so they feel important  :P :P   After all, we Concours owners have to stick together!

One of these days I'll get up the cash and nerve to take apart the bike and upgrade to either canary yellow or Kawi racing green.  The photoshop pictures I've seen of both of those are freaking sweet.

There was a C14 at the Harley Store In Cheyenne I remember seeing that was, I kid you not, Purple. And not just any purple, but full on Barney purple! Next time I'm in Cheyenne I'll have to take a pic of it if it's still there.

Try to find out the name of the original color-blind owner so we can have him publicly flogged! What an awful thing to do to a defenseless motorcycle!  :'(

No Idea On the owner. But I found pictures of it.  :o

Purple and with flames?!?   :doublepuke:

I have to admit, there were some good purple/yellow sport bikes in the 90's like the Joe Camel bikes, but solid purple is too much!

Oh and mine is '08 silver goddamnit!  Hey at least it doesn't show dirt  8)
