Insecurities? Where do you see that?
All I see is confidence. Overwhelming at times!

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

Sorry......I can't speak

ah - hah. Do y'all think color affects rider? Does anyone else notice the similarities in posts, not just in this thread? Nutter/Dragon. SilverBrd/flblackbird/Sandsquidxx. billypf/Birdmanxx. ArmyStrong/magley64/mikedevine/charlesfleur. There are others. We could probably switch names and you couldn't tell the difference.(long as we don't get technical)

Are you saying that a person's personality profile determine what colour bike they buy?

For me I wouldn't buy a black bike, it didn't appeal to me. Neither did the silver and I didn't even know about iron nail grey.

It was only red or blue for me and my last bike was red.

I didn't buy a blue bike because it was faster, I bought it because it is what I wanted.

It's like the colour of a person's clothes - it is an extension to their personality. Black wears out a person who should not be wearing it but if they are the right personality type for it they are energised by it. There is complex psychology behind colour choices.

Maybe the question for this thread should be - "How does the colour of your bike affect your riding style?"

Are you suggesting that riders of the "colour that shall not be mentioned" are all shit stirrers?? Surely not.

I spoke to my cousin Dr. Ralph James, who holds a Doctorate in Nuclear Physics about this highly entertaining and lengthy topic. Due to the different spectrums of the colors and the amount of pigmentation in the different colors being discussed, which leads to differences in air pressure being exerted on the bodywork, and since BLACK has the least amount of drag due to the above factors (and is also the best color) then BLACK is no doubt the fastest...

Nutter67 · 04-25-2008, 4:58 AM

Dont most good paint jobs have a coat of clear? How fast would a clear paint job be? No colour involved to suck in or spit out light. So does this mean a clear bike is the fastest or slowest bike?

Oh, so you ride a bird that is "the colour of which we do not speak" do you?

We stir equally as good as each other.

I think we are all stirring this gooey mess!

All I think I'm saying (not that I really know that I'm saying what I think I'm saying because it all depends how you think it comes across) ... is that unless we take whatever comes along or follow the crowd we generally choose a colour applicable to the type of person we are.

The fastest birds are those that have riders that are out riding instead of sitting here typing comments! At the moment my bird is stationary!

Oh well, it's all good!
