Where the term RED OUT is used by jet fighter pilots and owners of RED Birds?


Must we go back to pictures to help you thru your dark time. Do you feel as if the blackness is closing in and you have no where to turn?
yes I would like to see the pictures of all the pink birds with the rainbow stickers on them. It will give me one more reason to be proud of my BLACKbird

I have yet to see a pink Bird and do not think I ever will but, I have seen a sad Blackbird owner because my red Bird was faster and prettier than his Bird.

OK, I will concede that I have a fast bike when compared to anything but, your being 50 pounds lighter in the ass than me is all that gives you an edge with me and my Red Blackbird if your Bird is faster than mine.
But, since you are afraid of California, we will never know for sure.

Never say never, ITs just a long drive to make a point that Black is the faster color. But I do have friends out there so I mite make the trip one day

You have to know by now that cages are driven and motorcycles are ridden!!!
And red CBR1100XX Super Blackbirds are ridden faster than any other CBR1100XX Super Blackbirds of colors we do not speak might be ridden.

Yes I do know the difference, and I was right in what I said, If in fact I ever come out that way the xx will be loaded into the back of the truck for the trip, So it is a long drive not ride. And you can ride you red bike faster all you want it still dont make it faster then my black bird

You travel the same way I do when I have to go long distances.
I put my bike in the back of my Tacoma for long trips.
Too bad you are stuck on this color we do not speak being faster than red.

I own a red Bird because red is fastest and a black Tacoma because Totota is a million mile + vehicle that is low enough to the ground so that I can load motorcycles in the back for my motorcycle repair business that let me afford to buy both the Red Bird and the Black Tacoma.
The Japanese make the best vehicles, period.

Looks like this post has turned into the " Outlawgibbs Dad is tougher than Fasterspider's Dad " coloum.

Let me set the record straight, right here, right now. Fasterspider's Dad is tougher than Outlawgibbs Dad for the simple fact that Fastspider's Bird is Red and Outlawgibbs Dad disowned him when he went and bought a Bird of the colour which we do not speak. Poor poor Outlaw'. now lives in a permanent state of Fantasy ( as you can tell by his threads ).

Long live the Red Brigade.

And once again ,so so true, because we all know that friends dads don't let other people who are friends of their dads ,who may or may not know dads that have friends ,who think they have dads go out and buy bikes which are the colors of which none of the dads will speak......because we all know what that would lead to.


Besides like I have said once or twice since this thread started a couple of days ago. Red is hands down the fastest color....and why is that??? Because Red Leader says so.


yes mortals, you all know what time it is now don't you? you too nutter, lead by example.......

Chevy builds the longest lasting truck out there and the black bird is the fastest bird there ever was and ever will be since honda will never build another one cause there to busy makeing the 600 handle better. for all of you who still cant get it just look and the little picture

You watch too much TV and are a sucker for what they tell you there on the lame commercials.
There aint a Chevy on the road with a million miles and most Toyota trucks are just getting broken in when the Chevy fails around 150,000-200,000 miles.
American cars and trucks are built to fail at that mileage so the average Joe will go out and buy a new one.
The Japanese have integrity with their auto sales and outshine US automakers hands down.
Red is faster than any color we do not speak.

For the record my last two chevys had over 300k on them and would still be running if some dumbass did f**k them up for me and my current truck has 140k on it and runs like it did when it was brand new. And there aint a red bird out there that can take out my black bird. Anyone wanting to prove me wrong is welcome to meet me at Greatlakes Dragaway on the 10th to try to beat me. Till then your just a man with a mouth wrighting checks your ass cant cash

Blackbirds are fabulous bikes whatever colour they are, however colours do tend to affect riders. After nearly one thousand posts it's clear now that red is the colour that affects the human psyche most negatively - red bird riders stand out as the ones most caught up in 'trying' to defend their position.

It seems that everything that needs to be said has been said and very little can now be added!

I remain satisfied with my blackbird.

Only a few more before a thousand posts.

Safe riding guys!
