as for blue being the fastest ... that's baloney... I've already given two valid scientic thoeries (backed by jjmcjames). but since there are non believers that don't want to conceded to logic and fact i offer this .... what color is the namesake for our beloved Birdies (SR-71 blackbird is the only correct answer here!) .... Black!!! ... nuff said!!!

Sorry to point this out, but the whole " black bird" thing was actualy started by the British crowd.....and , if push came to shove.....it really has nothing to do with the CBR1100XX. So, no......nice try, but the word black has nothing to do with the XX.....just the aircraft. And for that matter, I don't recall a black bird being that fast. Isn't it just a worm eating lounge lizard? Now, a red tailed Hawk, or a red breasted plains Falcon.... now there's fast ....a black bird, no. So once again ,Black does not = fast. But notice birds with "red" in their name = fast. Give it up people..........

When I count to three you'll be fully awake, you'll be relaxed and you won't remember anything about Silver ... ONE ... You know for certain that blue is the best Blackbird coulour ... TWO ... Blue blackbirds make you happy ... THREE ... The evil Supervillain Silverbrd is thwarted yet again in the quest for world domination and everyone's hero Birdman with his loyal eagle avenger has yet again saved the world. Stay tuned for more nefarious adventures of BIRDMAN and the Galaxy Trio!

Army, are you calling SilverBrd a troll???? Thems fighting words  .He might be deluded, silly and the owner of a boring, slow Silver bird, but he isn't a troll (hopefully, but it could explain a lot )

NEVER in my life have I had the pleasure of being involved with such an important thread. I would say more......but for some reason I feel as if I should go buy some SILVER PAINT......and paint something...... which is kind of weird, cause I'm pretty sure that I don't like SILVER.........

I mean...(wait...gotta look up Wikipedia's definition of a troll...)  o.k., got it...I mean...from their definition, the only part that would be incorrect is being off topic. For that, I apologize. Didn't mean to offend. Now. Let's break down the rest: someone who posts controversial (silver is fastest), irrevelant (silver is fastest), with the intention of baiting other users into an emotional response (silver is fastest), or to generally disrupt normal (silver is the fastest) on-topic discussion. I sincerely believe, that underneath SilverBrd's silver Bird, there is a RED BIRD just waiting to get out. Maybe there is a little troll inside that we have to exorcise. That isn't really my field of expertise. Anyone...

Ted would answer, but his delusions of grandeur and superiority currently have him tied up in a back scratchers suit. He is sitting in a padded room muttering something about "even clouds have a silver lining, if they were any other colour they wouldn't be able to fly that high........" Maybe I should lend him my forum name.

Watch out Lou, talk like that will have you sharing a padded room with SilverBrd.
