OMG, saying Canada is mostly french is like saying Montana is mostly spanish....

As for the whole beer thing......sorry my slow coloured little friend, beer will always be more important than economics.....I mean dude really...

And...
I would rather be ruled by a wild pack of pms'd out dikes (not that there is anything wrong with being in a pack or with being a pms'd out dike) , than to ever be ruled by the English. (not that there is anything wrong with being English....god save the queen and ...here here and hip hip etc).

However, our present government is based/structured on the english system, as is their overly liberal way of thinking. England has pretty well given their country's future over to the Muslims, and Canada is well on it's way as well. ( not that being taken over by the Muslims is in any way, a bad thing)

Besides talking funny, the English let their drunk women sleep in the streets. (ya, I know... not that letting your women sleep in the streets is a bad thing....they are your women, you may do as you wish with them)



But I must say, what really gets me rolling on the floor is how some Americans pronounce certain words.


ie;

They say > din't ............we say> didn't
ruff........................................ roof
po-lease.................................. police
impoe-tint................................. important
warsh..................................... wash
black...................................... slow
blue........................................ painful
silver....................................... laughable

and the list goes on.




I hang out in the US a fair amount, I love traveling down there. Folks are friendly, prices are good, highways are in good condition, and the laws are a little more lax.

However, it just cracks me up, when some good old boy from Norman, Oklahoma, tells me that I sure have a twang to my voice when I speak, or someone with a thick Texas drawl, tells me I have an accent. I used to argue that it was in fact they, who had the accent, but now I just simply say, well, if I have an accent, then why do all of your TV news announcers speak like me? LOL


But really, lets get to the heart of the matter. Not only is Red the fastest colour, It will make you a better person.....and improve your spoken/broken english.



so just all kneel, including the queen, reds number one, you get what i mean.....
For my yankee bretheren you need to understand one thing.... you are the one that talks funny. I say howdy, ya'll, soda, pert, and plum on any given day and it sounds normal to me whereas you have the monotone proper way of saying things. You are not only slow but boring too and since you offending us Texans I am going to tell George Dubya (he lives down the street from me by the way) that I think there are weapons of mass destruction North of our border. He will believe me too.

Lois

Beer??? I thought we were going to World War 3..???.?.? Well since you said beer you are my friend again. You are still slowest color though

I'm up for some Corona's with lime, Dos equis (This means 2 X's in Spanish for you that are Spanish stupid) and some Shiner . Shiner is home grown down the street from me locally brewed.

I would rather have you yankee boys come on down to this beautiful Texas weather we are having. I always laugh about how you guys complain about the heat and watch you sweat profusely while doing it. You will be drinking a lot of beer too. This will also allow me to show you the power of SILVER. You will be in awe, on your knees, and calling me KING

Re: How come bike color affect its top speed ?

O L Gibb wasn't long lost. He was way out in front on his Black Blackbird. Maurice was long lost. He was way in the back. His Red Blackbird couldn't keep up with Andy's Silver Blackbird. And Andy had Barry on the back. I'll bet that if Andy didn't have Barry on the back of the Silver Blackbird then Andy may have given O L Gibb on the Black Blackbird a good race. Maurice was long lost. So was his Red Blackbird. I miss the Bee Gees. Saturday Night Fever is a classic,

Re: How come bike color affect its top speed ?

My best time so far is a 10.83@129mph, but that was my first time ever running the bird and the first time on a track. As for now I only have slip-ons on the bike but I do have a pcIII for it just havent had time to get it on and tuned up.

Not bad... not bad at all. I run in the 10.6 range with a PC2/with map and slip ons. The hardest thing to do on the Bird is launching the beast.
Keep practicing my brother!

Now back to the debate............................


SILVER is the fastest color

It will never happen Outlaw. You are outclassed by color therefore making you inferior to SILVER. I will say that Black is faster than those slow ass red ones though.

Be happy with 2nd place Outlaw

Maurice was never "way back". He stayed in the Mine to help those who were trapped, like any careing hero on a Red Bird would do. While his cowardly brothers ran away on their inferior coloured machines. Maurice. A Red Hero !

And fastest colour Gibb.

Re: How come bike color affect its top speed ?

Love the Bee Gee's as they had some pretty good lryics. Here's a few lines from some of their better tunes to show you what I mean.

If you don't know the songs ,you are either to young....or out right lying about your involvment during the disco years.




You Should Be Dancing;

My red bike moves at midnight
Goes right on till the dawn
My red bird takes me higher
My red bird keeps me warm

or


Night Fever

Bike fever, Bike fever.
We know how to do it.
Gimme that red bike fever, bike fever.
We know how to show it.


or my personal favorite, Buried Treasure;

Now if the aim in your life is to settle me down
I couldnt change my point of view
I got a bike in red at the back of my head
But the women in white is you
Do you wanna be the only one
Fade away in the morning sun
if you weren't such a stupid bi**h
and bought a bike that is the color of which we do not speak
why oh why did I ever marry you
I must be the dumbest friggin guy in the whole wide world
god kill me now
god kill me now
but first let me ride my red bike

169mph and accelerating when traffic a mile ahead of me made me and my Red Bird slow down.
