deadman.... You have to go back and read the earlier posts. We covered the painting of the bike. If you want to gain some measure of forward motion you need to do like Mic J. says and Paint it Black my friend. Lois the only one who would believe your whole Oxymoron discussion is a person that fits part of the word Oxymoron and it wouldn't be the Oxy part of the word. |

Deadman... You are correct. We send them back because they are BLACK and capable of warp speed. They can actually move. I know that it will come as a shock for a rider of a non-black BLACKbird. Paint it Black my friend.

Oxymoron. Military intelligence, Fast red XX, Straight Canadian. I get it. Instead of sitting on your red static display combing through Wikipedia and watching Sesame Street, you could be out strafing rockets and cruise missiles on a silver XX. Oh well, hibernation is just around the corner. Boy, do we have plans for you when you go nighty night. I'd tell you that we'll be gentle, but that would be a lie. |

And all this from some slow assed wrong clourd rider sitting at his slow assed SX 286 computer wearing a little home made tin foil hat. Sad. About the only thing your going to need to be "gentle" with will be the straps on your little sweater that ties up in the back, but then again....I suppose it's silver too. P.S, maybe you and Deadman should have a little silver hat party together. That is, while you to turtles are down on your kneels before the RED brigade. Kneel suckers......... ....the brigade is amused...

You won't be laughing so much at the thought of a tin foil hat when the nukes start falling. Alberta, with its rich bestiality heritage, is ground zero. Best ring up Reynolds right now and schedule a delivery of foil before your neighbors start a run on the stuff. Straps...something that ties in the back...Mmmmmm, thanks for the bondage idea. I knew I was forgetting something for our little get together. Speaking of Deadman...it's a sad day for you red XX riders when a dead guy on a silver XX can beat you. Oh, the humanity. I do like the idea of a party, though. Wonder if I can get Deadman to spring for the beer. | |

Well, at least we have seven corners in Alberta....which is more than I can say about your neck of the woods.....well, that is , if you had a neck...or even woods for that matter. You would think that I would tire from this constant barrage of insults throw by you wrong clourd riders. But I don't. To me, it's sort of like watching a wrong clourd horror movie where everyone in the audience is screaming" what ever you do. don't buy the wrong colourd bike....don't buy the silver or black one" , but the person, as we all know, throws their money down on anything but the fast red colour and the crowd screams and throws popcorn into the air. Well, at least your crowd does one this propperly......... ![]() Lois >

How did you know I was locked up in a mental asylum Lois? I have dreamed the dream while being in my padded room and all I could see in the distance a red blackbird. I looked closer to be sure and yes it was a red blackbird. How can this be? Then I realized I was looking in my mirror!!!!!!!!!!!!! HAHAHAHAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You guys spend waaaaaaay two much time thinking of all these incredible put downs! IF!!!!! You had BLACK birds you would be out riding instead of typing. Now i see why the BLACK birds are the fastest. Cause all the other colors are in the garage(while their owners think of new put downs) and the BLACK ones are setting the speed records!

You all might as well get your kleenex out and start wiping your winter tears away because your riding seasons are over. I ride all year round on a faster than your bird of a color we do not speak, Red CBR1100XX only having to hide my bike when it rains.

| Re: How come bike color affect its top speed ?
Grrr makes an excellent point. Of course I wouldn't be taking a red, blue or silver bird out that much if it would lead to all the pushing that you have to do. What do you guys do when you run out of hills and the momentum? Pushing that bike all the way home would make me want to keep it in the garage too. That would get tiring. You guys on Non TRUE BLACKbirds don't get an opportunity to see a TRUE BLACKbirds in action since we travel at warp speed. You can only see us when the bike is parked so that is where your mis-perception of speed is coming from. Paint it Black and you will be able to jump into warp and join us. I would strongly suggest just a pin stripe in black to start out with. The G-force from just doing that will be more then you will be ready for. The more Black that you put on the bike the faster it will go so please do it in stages to get used to the increase in speed. If you need any painting tips let me know. Good luck and hold on.

| Re: How come bike color affect its top speed ?
logoman.. You make a good point. Its also another mis-perception that owners of non TRUE BLACKbirds can make and I can understand why. You see TRUE BLACKbirds so infrequently that when you finally do you can have the perception that it doesn't move. That's because of what I had pointed out earlier. The only time you will see a TRUE BLACKbird is when it is parked since you can't attain Warp speed to see us when we are in motion. I guess us owners of TRUE BLACKbirds will just have to be careful not to park where riders of other colors were previously so that you won't continue to make another wrong assesment of where that oil spill came from. In reality we all know that BLACKbirds don't leak oil no matter the color. Just ask Lois or fasterspider or PH005 if their bikes leak. Or ask GRRR or myself if our birds leak. It was most likely left there by the last motor vehicle that was there prior to our landing. If I rode a silver BLACKbird I would feel privilaged for the few opportunities that I would have to see a TRUE BLACKbird. Even if it is only when we are parked. Paint it BLACK my friend. Then hold on. Another advantage of having a TRUE BLACKbird is avoiding all those ackward conversations that come up when you tell people that you have a BLACKbird but then have to try to explain that they made slower ones in non BLACK colors to suit the needs of those that don't feel a need for speed. Oh well at least its an easy fix. Paint it black and the chip takes care of the rest. |

"What do you ride?" A blackbird. "What's a blackbird?" It's a sportbike for old men. "Its not really black is it?" No. "Great. I didn't want to help you push your bike." No problem. |

If you look closely at my avatar you will see two red Bird killers.... Of course the SILVER Bird and my briggs and straton 4.0hp push mower. And as long as the tassles arent red I will still be the fastest color out there!

Logoman... Actually it goes like this. OLD DUDE>>>What kind of bike is that? Logoman... Its a BLACKbird. Its an old man sports bike. OLD DUDE>>> If its called a BLACKbird why is yours silver? That is totally whacked to have a bike called a BLACKbird and have it some other color. Do they make them in Pink as well? Logoman... Honda made some in other colors other then BLACK for those that wanted to go slower then Warp speed. I didn't want one THATTTT fast so I got a silver one. Yes they do make them in shade of pink. OLD DUDE>>> Well as I recall the SR-71 BLACKbird was the fastest plane on the planet so it makes sense that the fast ones would be BLACK like just like the plane. Seems odd that someone would want a bike called a BLACKbird and then not want it BLACK but I guess it makes sense for those that want to go slower. Logoman... Well Strek has told me all about a chip that is on the bike that will allow it to go faster if I even put a touch of BLACK paint on the bike. The more BLACK you add the faster you go. He mentioned something about holding on once the BLACK is added. There was even a recall that Honda put out for those that wanted to be able to jump into warp like the BLACK BLACKbirds. OLD DUDE>>>Well it would seem that you would want to paint it black then wouldn't you? Logoman... Well one day when I get enough experience and nerve up I plan on starting with a small dab of BLACK and hope like heck I can hang on to it. Strek tells me that even a little dab will do you. He stressed that the Black should be added in small amounts over time so that you can get used to the increased speed. Strek also mentioned that he has a TRUE BLACKbird because he wanted to be able to jump into warp but added that PINK IS HIS FAVORITE COLOR. I don't know what he means by that. When he mentions that he mentioned something about thinking about girls instead of bikes but I just don't get it. It sounds like it has something to do with the female anatomy. OLD DUDE>>> Sounds like some sound advise. If PINK isn't your favorite color you might want to think about that Logoman. Well your bike looks good but you've convinced me to look for a TRUE BLACKbird. Like Strek I like to jump into warp speed. So logoman, when are you going to paint yours BLACK so that you can join me and Strek in Warp? Logoman... Still working up the nerve. One day... One day... | |

| Re: How come bike color affect its top speed ?
Seems odd about the black color...... I just put on a carbon fiber front fender on the Silver Bird and she doesn't seem to run as fast because the fender looks black. I think my Bird is embarassed and has developed an inferior complex like the red, tits, and blues have currently of for sure the blacks. I just might have to put the SILVER fender back on you think??

| Re: How come bike color affect its top speed ? quote>Another advantage of having a TRUE BLACKbird is avoiding all those ackward conversations that come up when you tell people that you have a BLACKbird < unquote So let me get this straight Mr Strek......If I owned a Fireblade, people would assume that the bike was on fire ? If I said I rode a Triumph, people would therefore think that I had a bike that had bitten the bullet ,and over came some life long obstacles that were causing it great strife and woe? Or how about a Vulcan.....would the Trekkies want to kill me because I was riding Spock?? It is sad to what depths you wrong riders will go to, to make a silk purse out of a sows ear. The point is....RED is faster than Black and silver and all the other bikes which are the colours of which we do not speak. The RED brigade feels very very very sad about what you have become. So, that being said , you big bunch of losers, better run out and get that red bike tomorrow..... you----> ![]() Me----->

LOIS no of course not. Only a Ghost Rider could ride a bike on fire. You're not Nicholas Cage I hope. Vulcan... Hey if you want to ride Spoc thats up to you. You do know that Mr. Spoc was a male vulcan don't you? For me if I'm riding a Vulcan I'll go with T'Pol. She's hot for an alien girl. No LOIS this was about how you folks on NON TRUE BLACKbirds try to explain to others why you made the choice to go with a slower color then a TRUE BLACKbird. More true when you consider the name of the bike is BLACKbird not REDbird or Silverbird or Bluebird. Its called a BLACKbird for a reason. By the way what is it with you red BLACKbird riders always using the following line: The point is....RED is slower than Black and silver and all the other bikes which are the colours of which we do not speak. You mention that you don't speak of the other colors but you alway mention the other colors in the same sentance. Seems to me that you are speaking about them often. DR. Spock (not Mr. Spoc) would have something to say about that. Maybe not getting enough attention and love as a child. Maybe a major life change occured at some point in your early years. He would tell you that by mentioning them in the same sentance as one where you are stating that you don't speak of the other colors would indicate that subconsiously you really desire a TRUE BLACKbird that can jump into Warp and you are just working up the nerve. Paint it Black my friend. A little bit at a time. | |
