As a young kid in the early 60's I had a red Honda 90 trail bike. I'd still pick up the brochures at dealerships for Norton, Matchless, Cotton and all those cool bikes of the time that looked so tough, fast and powerful. The Harley dealer was in the bad part of another town, but I had enough photos to drool over. The one thing they all had in common was the color black.
Over the years I've owned about 30 motorcycles, red, blue, black/white, yellow, white and orange, but I finally got a real black one, my current Dyna.
