Black is fastest because black actually isn't a color it is the absence of color therefore making it lighter lol.

I try to stay alert for such schemes. One of the reason's I pay close attention to the Birdman's posts!

The bum is all healed, thankyouverymuch; and I'm sure the Bird started losing some hp when she started turning black.
Btw, is there an iron nail grey (sorry Lou), and iron nail silver???

In the time it took you to type that, I hopped on the Bird, rode down to philly, got a cheesesteak, came back, and it was still hot. Have you not heard about the Red Bird's and the space/time continual? Continue-um? Or something?

That is what the strange button is on my Red Bird, it hits the "Hyper Space" actuator and the next thing you know, the ride is over and I am home safe and sound.

I guess that would explain why only the red riders where sitting here and all the black riders were out enjoying the summer. Here I thought it was because you were imbarassed to be seen on a pink bike. I know I would be.

By the way.....600 posts ? ? ?





Hell, we're just getting warmed up.....


Yes, It may take a while, but look at all the converts the " RED TEAM " has already had. We will never stop, we will never bow down, we will never be last. We will never give in.

I am so glad that I am amongst true red riders and the fact that my red CBR1100XX is faster than the colors we do not speak makes me happy and warm all over.
Red rules, don't forget it.
Like Lois says, "Kneel suckers"

Oh bloody hell, you guys are weirdo trekkies too. This is getting better and better and better.

Red Bird riders are weirdo irritating trekkies who are also obsessed, perverted, loony, sooky la la's, deviates with an eating disorder

I just figured out how to turn my 2007 Iron Nail Grey BB into an old fashioned 2001 boring red bird.

I just have to slash my wrists and bleed all over my work of art.

XXMAN, welcome and feel free to add anything to this thread. Lou is a bit grumpy because no one agrees with his assertions other than those who have similar disabilities. You see, red is a colour that affects the human psyche at a very deep level and twists normally calm people into raving maniacs. We tolerate his rantings and spiders too because we stick together as blackbird riders and feel obligated to help them work through their perception anomalies that cause them such grief.

There is a glimmer of hope for Army, he senses that there is more to life than ... anyway we will see.

Nutter, you're just having a grand ole time with this aren't you! A good laugh is always healthy! ... Unless you are laughing at someone with a weapon I guess!

Lois, you can get through this ... Keep posting, it is helping you with your therapy.

Spider, there doesn't seem to be much hope for you, sorry! (Keep posting anyway, it is helping others see the light)

It is not me that needs the hope, it is the owners of birds with the wrong colors on them and since my Bird is red which is the correct color for fast, I believe it is you that needs the hope.
Honda = Red
Red = fastest
Life goes on for those of us with red Birds and sits in stagnancy for those with colors we do not speak Birds.
Red Rules the road.

Sorry to inform all you " Black " Blackbird owners, BUT, Your Birds are'nt any colour at all. We all know that Black & White are not colours, but only shades. Therefore you must all leave this discussion immediately, ( on your slower steeds ) because you have just been left in the " shade " , so to speak. Oh dear , How sad, Never mind.

I have changed my avatar not because of the demand for it but, because I must show the faster red CBR1100XX that I own so those who own Birds of the colors we do not speak can see a superior motorcycle when ever I post!!!

Yadda, yadda, yadda. The tripe that you pink bird riders keep spewing out is getting boring.

How about backing up your ill-conceived statements about how "red rules" with something that might make us riders of birds with real colours sit up, stop yawning and listen (and then ignore it anyway)

You are spot on Nutter. Boring tripe is now synonomous with red!

Certain people keep putting up posts that say the same thing over and over, I just flip over them now because there is nothing new - at least he has changed his avatar - I'd much prefer to be looking at a red blackbird.

Hyperspace button?

I told you - we were getting into the living in mom's basement, hot pocket, seven of nine weird zone...

Come on, its got to nice enough to ride most everywhere this board is read.

Go out and tell me what it was like to ride over a ton - the roads here in Khartoum stink and the traffic is italian TV crazy. (ocean movie)

I used to think the BMW crowd was lousy with trekkie nerds - not here to, please not here...
