Iron Nail Grey does not exist in America, so it does not really exist anywhere which makes your bike a figment of your imagination and therefore slower than anything in the real world.

Just because it does not exist inside your world does not mean that it does not exist in the real world, therefore youre silly argument is mute.

Go nutter!

This is why Honda stopped shipping the birds to America when they started coming out with the better colours. How can a bike be faster if it is a day behind.

Australia - the lucky country!

Sure, I leave the board for two days, and while I'm gone, one of you has to come up with something that sort of makes sense.




Nice try though. because RED is still king of the hill, the bee's knees, A #1, capt pajama's, and all round fastest color ever made.

I am right here with my fastest colored red CBR1100XX Super Blackbird that just got an HID on the low beam light conversion yesterday.
She has a modulator on the high beam.
The HID light conversion was done so they will have no problem seeing the extremely fast red blur coming and going past them as they ride their slow and inferior colored motorcycles and cages.

Wow, nice looking ride my friend. You must of had to use a special camera to take a picture of your RED beast, as I realize that it is so fast , that a regular camera does not have a fast enough shutter speed to get a pic with out the picture blurring.

Where as the rest of the colors (which are so slow), take so long to come and go that they can be sketched with pencil and paper by a one eyed, three year old.

There can only be pictures of my bike when she is standing still because the blur of red is too extreme and traumatizing to those of lesser colors when she is in motion.
Although I will slow her down enough sometimes for a good shot if you have a $3000.00-$5000.00 camera like Paul the photograper {Capfacsurf} on Mulland Hwy has.

Paul got some really nice shots of you on your bike.
I, however do not. Usually when one of my knuckle headed buddies takes a pic of me riding, I either get a shot that has part or most of the bike cut out of the picture, or if they happen to bracket me correctly, because of the shear speed of my XX color, I appear just as a blur....like a meteor shooting across the sky....like a RED bullet speeding across the picture frame....like a ICBM streaking back into the atmosphere.....like a gallon of red paint being fired out of a water cannon....Like a,,,,well, you get my point.
Nice pics.

Ok ok for you boys that ride the dark pink color let me put it in perspective for you....
What happens when you get your ass beat? Turns RED
What happens a couple of days later? Turns Black and Blue

Moral of the story is when you get beat with the Silver Rod you still got your ass beat.

For Red, Black, and Blue

Bow to SILVER you beeeoooiiiiitches!!!

I have totally forgotten what it was like to get my ass beaten since it has not happened to me since 1978 when my father tried to teach me a lesson I did not want to learn.
But, I can say that unless you have a turbo on your silver bike, my red Bird will devistate you and your silver one and leave you red in the face with embarrassment.

Well come on down to Texas and let me refresh your memory on ass woopins. 1978 will come back in a flash when all you are lookin at is TEDZXX (my license plate) all the way down the road well at least when I get too far ahead when you can't read it anymore.

Keep dreamin' my silver loving friend.
Red will throw down a whoopin' you won't soon forget.

I really love these color wars, they truly are funny as hell and send me to bed with a big smile on my face.
Have a good night because I am outta here.
Peace
