billypf · 04-17-2008, 11:19 PM

I dont know dragonxx. I didn't see the option for best paint job.. I guess custom will have to do for now.

Banshee · 04-17-2008, 11:57 PM

Good idea, too bad you can't make it compulsory for every member because it would be interesting to know the distribution because the rarer calours would have to be more valuable for sure.

What if you're colourblind ... I used to think I was riding a red one but it turned out to be blue ... funny that.

I just think that every blackbird is beautiful to behold?

Banshee · 04-18-2008, 7:26 AM

If I could have bought another red, I would have, but the choice was black or grey. And after having a grey car that for many years had a "Sorry mate. Didn't see you." EVERY SIX MONTHS! I will not have a grey anything again.

If they cannot see a grey car, what chance does a grey bike have? Black is more visable than grey. But Red was better!

Or maybe the Bluebird of Happiness?

I am not so sure it would make it more valuable (color other than black) because normally when you go to sell the bird, they are not that fussy about color, it is normally condition that brings the $$. JMHO.

billypf · 04-18-2008, 10:57 AM

Color is just an extra bonus if the buyer likes the color, doesnt usually help to bump up the price though.

tihula · 04-18-2008, 1:24 PM

Either the black bird owners are the ones voting actively, or half the forum population owns a black bird...?

Admittedly (at least to me...) the color does makes a difference, this is my second bird in black, and most likely the next one will be in black too.

Jambo · 04-18-2008, 1:35 PM

I have the Gumetal Black/Gold wheels version, I think it was a limited edition but not sure, I know you don't see many of them. If anyone knows i would be interested to know. Thanks

flblackbird · 04-18-2008, 6:29 PM

Silver is the fastest though...

billypf · 04-19-2008, 1:08 PM

apartently only 49 members have paint on their birds.

Cruzmsl · 04-19-2008, 10:32 PM

Hey..I could only vote once! How the hell do I vote for the other 2 Birds??

billypf · 04-19-2008, 10:36 PM

well i would have to say that you cant handle all of your birds, and you should give me one.

billypf · 04-19-2008, 11:39 PM

correction 57
