Why Black?
Ever wondered why
the traditional color of choice for bikes and bikers is black? It’s more than
simply “doesn’t show dirt!” Each facet of the color spectrum has special
significance and many are parts of tradition; fire engines are typically red,
purple is the color of divinity and royalty, pink is certainly feminine, green
implies newness and health, yellow has a special vibration that is in harmony
with visibility and intelligence and blue is slow and deep. The darkest of all
the possibilities for your bike has an air of the mysterious along with the
stereotypical notion that black is sinister.
An interesting
scientific aspect of black is that it absorbs all the colors of the light
spectrum, reflecting nothing, but the real value of black lies in how it
relates with all the other colors. Any color used to decorate the dark,
unmoving surface has a noticeable specific vibrancy. On black the cool colors
tend to stay subtle and in the background and the hot colors really get in your
face. A good “mixologist” knows how to create the right color relationships
with whatever colors are in combination on your paint job. Many ways
of complimenting, with color, the appearance of your Harley-Davidson motorcycle
exist and each pinstripe style serves to personalize, add character and distinguish
your bike from the others that look “right out of the box.” During the limited
time that Letterfly, the pinstripe and design artist will be at our store, you
will have an opportunity to have some custom artwork created that will surely
make the statement that you want.
Letterfly
will serve our customers during the first ever “Dude It Up” weekend and you are
encouraged to come to the store and watch as Old School designs, flames,
pictorials, inscriptions and artwork are created on the spot for you, as a
dedication inspired, value added service
