At the risk of re-creating historical conflict, here's Raleigh's take on green bikes:
1985 Raleigh Portage in green:
1949 Raleigh Clubman in "Polychromatic Green"
1971 Raleigh Super Course in bronze green:

I don't own a green bike, well I do have a Trek 770 in that classic Trek Green but the
paint is 1/2 stripped and not something I'd show anyone right now.
I am wearing green pants though.
Happy St. Paddy's day y'all.

Welcome back!
The picture of the Raleigh Superbe in the catalog (bronze-green) looks much better than mine - which is out in the carport. I'll have to sneak out to get a shamrock shake to celebrate this afternoon.
I'll have another reason to celebrate tomorrow - another Raleigh, but it's not green.

I always heard it was unlucky to have a green motorcycle, just assumed it was the same for all two wheelers.
