I've never heard anyone quote the speed of dark, just the speed of light and black is not light. Normally out in space there is lots of black, that's where nothing is happening and where no one really wants to be. Where the light is, that's where the parties are.

Black is not a colour, so it really shouldn't be mentioned in this thread anyway because it's about colour (or color) affecting speed.

Anyway, if black (or red) (or silver) (or titanium) (or iron nail grey) (or any other colour) is faster than my blue bird then it would be just too powerful for me.

Lou, what were you expecting? Maybe you need to rephrase the question, it might just be that we didn't understand what you were asking.

We're just trying to help you figure this thing out.

Perhaps it's a psychology issue, maybe some of us do need to park our bikes outside a shrink's office to resolve our inferiority complexes. After all we would not need to argue trivial points if we were fully confident in our personal abilties. Maybe the stronger we argue the more insecure we are?

Some people are so convincing in their arguments that they can convince themselves of anything. Have you ever read "I'm OK, You're OK"? It does touch on why some people think that they are right and no one else is!

Can we please have a bit more fun with this? It is obviously a popular topic.

Nutter67 · 04-21-2008, 11:41 PM

Well us with the colour that shall not be mentioned here (2007 Iron nail Grey, 2007 Iron nail Grey, 2007 Iron nail Grey, 2007 Iron nail Grey, 2007 Iron nail Grey) are more than secure enough that our colour scheme is not only the fastest, but the bestest too. So there. We dont need to jump up and down, shouting from the roof tops about how fast our colour is, because it is just an unstated fact. So there.

If I wanted to lower myself to the argumentative level of the black, red, blue and silver mob, I would say "2007 Iron nail Grey is the fastest, nyah nyah nyah nyah nyah nyah", and then finish it of with "I'm the king of the castle....."

So there.

Bow down to the SILVER boys!!!

I can't believe this thread is still going!!

How about ... those who have had enough of this topic ... don't read it.

Better yet ... Start a better thread!

...now if you smear some Mobile Oil on a [edit] (insert your blackbird colur here) - this will stop any further colour arguments me thinks. [end edit] 'bird does that make it go any faster??

Nutter67 · 04-22-2008, 4:18 AM

Nah, just makes it suck even more.....

Leftlaner · 04-22-2008, 4:31 AM

OK, let's get the facts straight once and for all..

The black "color" absorbs more light than any other color. Thus the black XX's are in fact able to travel at the speed of light.

Silver bird reflects the most light, hence it is naturally the slowest of the colors.

As for the rest of the colors..

This really isnt B.S, just ask anyone who has a black XX, and they'll confirm this!

PS. I'm the reason this thread was created in the first place. You can see why here: Changing my BB color.... please advice !

Please don't ban me!

Yeah, he could become emotionally unstable when he learns that Iron Nail Grey is really just a Silver wannabe.

Birdmanxx · 04-22-2008, 8:26 AM

Maybe all black blackbird owners should be banned because then we can have a decent discussion. Especially since black is not actually a colour. Can black owners be banned from just one thread? Probably not, so we'll just have to keep listening to their theories having a good laugh at their expense.

So according to the voting statistics I have just offended a large majority of readers.

I really just want to put another blue bike on this thread in the hope that maybe some may come to their senses.

Sorry, but smearing oil on a motorbike is not one of my fetishes. Lard maybe, but not oil, especially Mobil.

Nah, I became unstable when I walked outside at midnight and thought my 2007 Iron Nail Grey was black.

The black XX's are just made they are one in a hundred,so they have to make themselves feel better by saying that the other colors are not as fast. Its really sad to see the insecurity of the black XX riders.

tonyz · 04-22-2008, 1:01 PM

chuck norris says "I can't out run the blue ones"
that must mean, they're the fastest
t.

billypf · 04-22-2008, 1:24 PM

well if Chuck Norris said that, it must be true.

I almost believe you. You know Ted...**pause for effect**..., may I call you Ted?... on my way home from work tonight I was thinkin..."SilverBird's been sayin' silver's the fastest all along...maybe he's right...NOT! The mind's a powerful thing. You psych majors help me out. If you keep thiking and saying something long enough, you start to believe it. I think that's what's happening in your case.

...

Hey, let's all tell SilverBird his is the fastest Bird, and maybe, just maybe, he'll come to his senses.

ArmyStrong · 04-23-2008, 12:14 AM

My apologies...see how the mind works? I meant SilverBrd.

And as for " the colors of which we do not speak".... 2007 Iron Nail Grey
2007 Iron Nail Grey
2007 Iron Nail Grey
2007 Iron Nail Grey
2007 Iron Nail Grey
2007 Iron Nail Grey
2007 Iron Nail Grey

and just to top it off see here: http://www.cbrxx.com/profile.php?do=...humbs=1&page=3

Here's a little pointer for "Mr Owner of a bike,which is a color of which we do not speak"

When a house / garage / dog house / out house etc. is on fire, a regular fire engine must go to it....you know, the fire. (hence RED fire engine)

However, most planes that are on fire are either heading to an airport, at the airport already, or some where over top of before mentioned airport....It doesn't matter what color a fire engine is at the airport, it simply waits where it is, until the fire arrives....(hence the color " who cares" is used)

Man, do I have to explain everything around here ?

Dear Lou,

How fast does a house / garage / dog house / out house etc. travel at????? Red fire trucks dont have to travel very fast to keep up, do they????? (which is very lucky for the house/etc/etc)

What colour would a house / garage / dog house / out house etc. turn if the fire truck was black? The same colour as the truck of course. And black is only marginally slower than red.

Yours sincerely,

Mr 2007 Iron Nail Grey
