I spanked a RED bird over the weekend boys and girls.....this is a true story just ask Varnado.

Now for you hot pink owners.......pack your little bags, move to Cali or stay there, and acknowledge the dominant color..........SILVER!!!

Well....I have spanked enough non red bikes, that had I collected them all, I could have make a giant motorcycle christmas tree.....with you on top as the angel....in a nice pink trimmed silver racing dress.




Besides, red is so fast, you probably just thought you were spanking one......I bet what really happened is they noticed all the dead bugs on the back of your bike and drove of the road because they were laughing so hard



So there.


red is cool and red is fast, red will always kick your leg....





kneel sucker .....


oh wait, I'm making another silver bird.....I'll be right with you.

I think the only spankin' that went on was you spankin' your monkey and then banging your head against the wall.
When am I going to even see another Bird of any color so I can twist the throttle and leave him in the dust?
They are all scared of facing my superior red Bird and only ride their girly man bikes.

If you find yourself in California, then we can race but, I would not be caught dead in Wisconsin. You people talk funny there with your funny accent and your cheese and your Birds of colors we do not speak.
And another thing is my Blackbird is Glory Red, get it right and kneel sucker.
I think my 79 CBX would beat your Bird of a color we do not speak up to 5th gear just because she is Candy Glory Red and mine.

The sun was in my eyes.....
I saw a deer run accross the road....
I was spinning in a oil spot......



Due to my girth and weight, I would need a Turbo Busa to out run a Vespa.

But wait.. what happened when the road got twisty? It was like I was riding all alone.

Almost like this..

I will have to agree with you Randy but we aren't talking about twisties. You are a lunatic when it comes to the curves! If you were on my SilverBird you would only beat me worse.....curves or straightaway but hey I am slowly learning your ways of the twist and it will just a matter of time that you will fall to your knees and say...."REDBIRDS ARE NOT WORTHY"

Go get you that Busa...then maybe you can whoop on me.......maybe......

Please let me explain this to you.....

The sun was in my eye's.....no it wasn't, that was actually a mixture of bug guts and honda polish on the back of their bikes, it is a trick that the slower colors use to throw off their opponents by blinding them in an attempt to unfairly win.


I saw a deer run across the road...yes it may have appeared to be a deer, but what you actually saw was 2 of the owners of the bikes which are the colors of which we do not speak, dressed up in a deer costume....the Greek is the guy in the back.... running back and forth across the road. Once again a ploy used by the slower colors to cause an unfair advantage and slow the red bikes down so the inferior colored bikes stand a change to win.....a slim chance at best, but a chance non the less.


I was spinning in an oil spot.....yes you were.....and do you want to know why?... It is simple. Many of you do not realize that non red birds are actually re-badged Harley Davidson sportsters.....so having oil all over everything is really no surprise, is it? The fact that you drove into a pool of it is hardly your fault.


As for your size and weight concern, I believe that I covered this very subject in one of my very informative posts from not to long ago. Here is just a small excerpt that I feel may help you.

" owners of the birds, which are the colors, that are the colors of which we do not speak, have implemented some form of voodoo mind control over the RED bird crowd in an attempt to have all red owners gain so much weight that their bikes can no longer move them.
However, it did not take long for the evil others to realized that this was not working . As even at 800LB all the red bird riders were still passing everything in site, including the slower colors and, eating chicken at the same time."

As for your last statement about " when the road got twisty" ....see what I mean.....us faster owners all seem to end up riding alone due to the shear fastness of our red bikes......it's lonely at the top, if you want to be in a crowd, you will have to trade down, to a slower color.

Lois
aka; Red leader > captain of the poka club > man about the town > and ,an all round snappy dresser.

nice try suckers.....just zipp it, and get on your knees

Lois is outstanding when it comes to laying it on though, aint he?
Right on chief, keep them on their unworthy knees where they lay after seeing one of our superior Glory Red Birds.
