Figures you would bring this switch up....as I know for a fact that you non RED possers all ride around with your thumbs on that particular switch....you know, just in case you get going twenty or thirty miles an hour, you can simply push the button and save your life......man us RED guys drive around the inside of our garages faster than you folks ride out on the open road. Two words come to mind at a time like this..... SISSY LALA's

On red birds it gets pressed to warn everybody "GET OUT OF THE WAY COZ MY BRAIN IS ABOUT TO EXPLODE WITH ALL OF THIS CRAP THAT I FORCE MYSELF TO BELIEVE. MAN, GET OUTTA THE WAY, I DONT WANT ANYBODY TO GET HURT BY THE SHRAPNEL".......

OK...for you, less coffee....and more reality. So, you put down the cup, and I'll explain the reality below. The reality of this is, that even without the reddhyperspacemodualtimespaceextractionkit installed, the shear fact that the RED XX'S are in fact RED, is the seceret behind what all of the hype is about. You can talk buttons till the cows come home, but that won't change a thing. Because , really, have the cows ever left home in the first place , or if they did, what would be an exceptable time that we could/should expect them back?, is , as I believe, one of the true under lying questions that needs to be answered here. If we cannot answer just one, or several , or at least try to come together in a positive way to address some of the issue's that bother some " others" on this board and finaly put to rest, or at least paint over some of the fundamental problems that people on, or near this board are having, really, what will ever become of what I started to talk about in the first place?

I have had a red CBR1100XX for longer than I realized, this one has been on my shelf for 4 years. I forgot it was there.

You've got to feel a bit sorry for people who need to fantasize about little buttons to make their bikes go faster than everyone elses. Since the colour of their bikes make them feel inferior! Most bird owners are pretty happy with the awesome power of their bikes. Piant, those pics are great. Custom bikes are amazing, the camoflaged bike would be great for Army. I like the pearlescent paints the give different colours at different angles!

[quote=Birdmanxx;55116] [color=black]Nutter, you are a legend! in your own mind... You've got to envy the people who have the little buttons to make their bikes go faster than everyone elses. Since the colour of their bikes make them feel superior, and mine doesn't. Most RED bird owners are pretty happy with the awesome power of their bikes. Piant, those pics are great. Custom bikes are amazing, the camoflaged bike would be great for Army. The pink one would be good for you Nutter. I like the pearlescent paints that give different colours at different angles even though they make me look fat...I just can't help myself. //QUOTE Sorry man, but I had to fix that up a little for ya, because I realize you are to afraid to say what you really mean......I guess what I'm saying is if you were to scared to buy a RED bike right from the start...that must also mean that you are hesitant in other area's , like your emotions  red is good, red is king, all the other poopie colors don't mean a thing.

PiAnt, Wow, Very nice. I wouldn't necessarliy like some of those paint jobs for my bike, but this is what is great about humans - if something can be done, even if its not really a good idea, one of us will try it and see what happens. Thanks for that post and reminding some of our brothers that the world is so much bigger and more fun than just a few monotone colors/shades. Tim |

ODE TO DOWN UNDER & COLORS OF WHICH WE DO NOT SPEAK by Lois I realize the Ausie's are now fast a sleep.  all tucked in pink beds and dreaming of sheep It seems such a shame, that a good group of guys  All ride the wrong color then simply tell lies  Their all Sissy lala's cause their still in their beds  But you know and I know their dreaming of RED  red rules, know it, learn it, live it
