How come bike color affect its top speed ?

lois

Nice run buddy.....nice run. By the way, when me and my possie get back to CA in March, you will be taking us there.....that is of course after I am finished worshiping the fastest spider on the fastest colour XX in all of California.

Edit> you will be taking me to the snake too.

the rest of you........while Fasterspider and me....

It would be an honor to take the Red Leader around my stomping grounds.
Were you able to see my other videos?
Todays video needs to be edited from am MOV file to a wmv so it will be under a certain amount of mb and be allowed into my Photobucket. I do not have a program for that kind of editing and need a friend of mine to edit it for me.

Wish in one hand and shit in the other then see which hand fills up 1st.

A camera mount only costs $29.95 + shipping for our Blackbirds and ebay has cameras that are more than affordable that will do the trick for capturing video of us breaking the law. Not that I got either of my cameras from ebay but, ebay has what you need.
I know what real speed looks like on my CBR1100XX having touched 169 mph and having to slow down because I was going extremely fast, really illegally and beginning to become weary of that kind of speed on a public roadway.
Like I said gibbs, I want to ride with you, it would be funner n hell {As Early Kyler from Squid Billies says}

You probably had to watch that video from under your computer desk peeking out from between your fingures.....as you are not used to seeing a bike in a corner at speeds above a slow walk.

Nice Vid' FS. It clearly shows that RED is King of the road as I was horrified to see you dareingly riding on the wrong side of the road the entire way and every car and bike bowed to the RED ones Greatness and moved to the other side on your approach. I slowed the video down 3.9 million times and I could see some clour bike riders shuddering and covering their eyes as you blasted past. Well done Sir, Well done.

PH005

Maybe one of those ones where you put your head under a blanket and hold up a large flash device would suit your clour bike.

fasterspider

Life is good with a Red CBR1100XX to ride.
Making videos here in the canyons is fun but, I tend to ride too fast sometimes on public roads and jeopordize my license. It cannot be helped on a bike such as my flux capcitor equipped 2001 Red CBR1100XX, it just can't be helped.

Theres a road I travel to work everyday that starts on top of a hill and ends on another hill with no roads comeing into it, I can top out the bike and still have more then enough time to slow down without slaming on the brakes. There I have pushed my bird to 180mph before I let off. Anyone else want to come and try be my guest Ill be happy to take you there and see if you have enough balls to run it out

What is it with these WRONGbird riders. They post up a video and think that they are all that??? Now it was a nice run fasterspider but go to youtube and you can pull up any number of runs on the TRUE color and the TRUE BLACKBIRD that lare faster. Besides it looked like you were going downhill there fasterspider. Who gave you the push. That and a little trick photography can make for one fast looking and exciting video even on a red bike. You live in California. You should be very familiar with special effects. You know just like George Lucas. That Pod race scene was pretty neat and fast looking too. While we are on the subject of special effect lets not forget trick photography. We never did see the bike. I'm thinking it was Black. : rotfl::r otfl::ro tfl::rot fl::rotf l:

What is like owning a wrong colored flux capacitor living in Chicago where you cannot use it to it's full potential?

Flux capacitor. There you go again. Getting all Hollywood on us. First a special effects movie and now talk about a ficitional part in a fictional movie. Its just like the fiction that you harbor in your head about red being a fast color. Now you are showing just how confused you really are. Flux capacitors go on Deloreans not BLACKBIRDS. Wrong movie. Well you could make another special effects video and include a flux capacitor.

Yepper you are right about one thing though but its not your color choice. Chicago isn't conducive to fast riding.

outlawgibbs

Chicago might not be but Wisconsin sure is, There might not be as good of twistys here as in Cali but the straightaways here will make your eyes go fuzzy and your hearing quit working......

I've gone way faster than that on similar roads AT NIGHT, but that leisurely daytime ride was probably impressive for you. NBL!

BTW, the silver XX's have indents on either side of the tank where it meets the seat to allow for the substantially larger stones all silver XX owners are endowed with.

You could try just putting a silver tank on your bike and see if that helps generate larger speedometer readings.

Strek

The true BLACKBIRDS have cutouts on the seats to allow for more room down there. That's were they wold nomally fall when riding. I don't know where the silverriders carry theirs but us BLACKBIRD riders need a little more space where they would land on the seat. You must have your hanging privates up and in front of your belly like you have a hernia or something but they are in front an not in your belly.

Logoman

I've seen those cutout's on a black XX seat, but I thought they were there to hold a couple of BB's.

I can't speak for anyone else, but I like to hug the tank. So the berries have to go on either side so I can drape the stick over the top. I just move the end to one side to refuel.

wigo

I have been doing some research and have found that the "Black" blackbird is the only bike that is faster than Chuck Norris' roundhouse kick and therefore is the only bike and color that Chuck Norris rides.
If it is good enough for Chuck it is good enough for me.

Strek

Logoman yes they are there to hold a couple of BB's or Big Ba!!$. I get close to the tank too but maybe not as close as you. From your description it sounds like you are getting a bit more intimate with the Bird than us TRUE BLACKBIRD riders care to get. You see we BLACKBIRD riders like women. And Women that like the fastest bikes. BLACK.Good luck with your cut out and hugging your tank.

Strek

Wigo Excellent. Yes Chuck Norris one time passed every other motorcycle in the world on a BLACK BLACKBIRD. He also did this while doing an infomercial and with only a quarter twist of the BLACKbird Throttle. You gotta love Chuck. By the way. I meet him once.

SilverBrd

Chuck Norris is a wussy! He probably can't even ride a motorcycle much less kick anymore..............Old news gentlemen..

And what's with Fasterspider saying that Cali has the best roads to ride in?? With earthquakes, smogs, landslides, and fires this is a good state to run from these problems. Why are all you Cali folk moving to Texas then? Texas has the best roads to ride on.

Come on down to Texas if you dare.... and get sent home with your little tail between your legs from the domination of SILVER!!!
