Re: How come bike color affect its top speed ?

I agree with Nutter on this one. Either Iron Nail Grey or Titanium. Take your pick. It seems that he may be infected with silveritis since he is so delusional that he doesn't even know the color of his own bike. Deadman... Paint it Black my friend and you will come out of you daze. Currently you are rooting for the wrong team. Pun intended.

You forgot to mention him stomping Godzilla-like through his massive toy-train set-up shrieking "red is fastest, my MOM told me so!!!" at the top of his lungs.

Over here, Titanium was used on the early models (eg. 98 carbed) Para045 will tell you all about it.

Re: How come bike color affect its top speed ?

Iron grey, Titanium, Silver, Unless your a painter or artiste, and a precise definition is required, Too me, its bloody Silver, Pun intended, As I am not a painter or artiste, I build things, I dont paint, But I do ride twelve months of the year when I can, work permitting,
I feel really sorry for the red and black brigade sitting on their backsides in sub zero temps as their XX's grow cobwebs, and all they can do is pick poo about us silver, titanium and iron grey XX's who are still riding.
When the red and black brigade are riding, they are still covered in cobwebs, as they cant go fast enough to blow the cobwebs off, pun intended also.

Re: How come bike color affect its top speed ?

now you got me!
i have to take a pic of my slowest jacket.
it´s yellow and reflective. and i am shure that it´s the fault of the colour and not a case of aerodynamics!

whenever i wear this jacket i am as slow as a red or black or blue XX.

pic will follow

Deadman... You don't need to be an artist to know the color of your bike. If you want to call it silver go right ahead. It's silverish. I guess its close enough. Although in this thread we don't hear a lot from the titanium riders. Wonder if there is a reason for that? Maybe its because they are as speed challenged as the silver color. As far as not being able to ride year round...well I did have my bike out for a short trip around the galaxy last weekend. Yepper still as fast as ever and I did pass up a silver one as I was dropping out of warp. Maybe it was titanium. I couldn't tell since I was going so fast. I'm not a real big fan of snow and cold but it seems to happen where I live. Good thing you don't like snowmobiling, skiing, ice hockey etc. I'm pulling for Global warming myself. One of these days I hope to move to a climate like you have where it is warm year round. Right now the kids are keeping me here. Do you guys down under have room for one more?

Yes Scott, we do have room for one more here down under. I am actually an upper intermediate down hill skier. But our snow fields are definately not like yours. I like sking, but hate the cold, wet conditions that we have here.
you will have to borrow a silver XX to know what fast is, guessing what fast is, just does not cut it, hahahahahahahaha
That silver, titanium or iron nail grey one that you passed had run out of petrol. You did not stop to help out a fellow rider in their time of need,
Brian.

Brian, to tell you the truth I was almost completely out of warp when I saw that bike and went by my last 3 or 4 revolutions around the earth so fast as I was bleeding off speed that I barely saw that bike. Looked like it was moving when I passed it up. It was silverish. I think I spotted it as I was cruising past France.. Or maybe it was Spain. I was going so fast it was all a blur. I finally landed in my own driveway in Chicago. A spot on landing if I do say so myself. You know that if I would have known that the bloke had run out of quarters that I would have stopped to give him a hand. Now as you start to paint it black just chant over and over again. GLOBAL WARMING, GLOBAL WARMING.

I'm afraid you're wasting your time trying to talk sense to Shrek. He and Lois currently share a room at the Happy Rainbow Academy for the Mentally Challenged, where they are presently undergoing treatment for slow-blindness and will say just about anything to convince themselves that they have not poured gobs of money into the chromatic equivalents of Hyundai Ponies. Their treatment seems to consist of watching endless hours of ST:TNG and Quincy: M.E. re-runs, hence the constant references to "warp"ing around the planet and strange, non-existant medical conditions like Silveritis. Unfortunately, there seems to be no progress as yet, but hope springs eternal.

Your definately right on with this one, Shewie. But it still does not excuse him from not stopping to help a fellow rider in their time of need, no petrol, breakdown, god forbid, a dropped bike. I will even stop to help a vespa or ahrley or dirt bike, if they have troubles.
I have never in all my years of riding heard so many fabricated excuses for the lack of speed associated with these slow pokes and their slow coloured XX's, Me and my SILVER steed even at flat stick, I can always see another bike, no matter what colour or make, is fallen by the wayside, It may take a while to slow down and stop, But I will always turn around and go back to help.
These incredible excuses for their slow pieces of crud, some how must effect their eyesight as well, If they cannot see a bike that is in trouble.
The spelling of ahrley is correct. hahahahahaha
Ride fast, Ride safe, Death is so permanent.

Yes, but you don't have the same dreadfully ponderous accelleration to deal with. If you rode a black or, God forbid, the brutally slow red bird you would perhaps think twice of stopping for anything short of a sign reading "free paint jobs!". Once they get the gerbil () revved up they are loathe to bleed of those hard-won kph's unless absolutely unavoidable. I'm not trying to excuse this behaviour, merely explain it.

As for me, I'll stop and help anyone too, even a Harley-Ferguson, although there's little I could do for a tractor-driver, other than call a tow truck for him. Hell, I would even stop and help another black bird, but the last time I did that the rider started yelling at me and insisting there was nothing wrong, that he wasn't stopped, and demanding to know how I got my Silver bike up to 'warp' speed.

Re: How come bike color affect its top speed ?

I have noticed that Lois has taken the (red is the fastest colour) off his avatar, Maybe something has happened to his big red train set.
I am an Aussie, what are these Gerbils they keep crowing about, ???????
My Silver XX just goes fast, I would not like to be on a bike that is warped.
We call it a death wobble here, and usually when that happens, you are bouncing down the road. OUCH. and expensive.
Harley = Two wheeled Kenworth. making a lot of noise. hahahahaha

It's in his signature. That does not negate the possibility that something happened with his Lionels. He may have fallen asleep (low-speed induced, no doubt) and glued his face to his keyboard with drool.

Alternative power sources for off-colour birds. Although, judging from some of Shrek's posts, they may use them for some sort of recreation that we don't know about.

You did mention tractor, I was only giving you an Aussie definition. I have chucked a few into the harley bashing column, hahahahaha
The avatar is just a start. The signature is next,
Is that the power drive in one of those little wheels they usually put mice in that go round and round, and they have put gerbils in instead,???????

Re: How come bike color affect its top speed ?

Deadman... if you don't know about the gerbils there is still hope for you yet.
Silveritis has not gotten as far as long as it has with chewie silverbrd and logoman. They have this video that demonstrates their sick use of the poor gerbil. Take the cure before silveritis progresses any further. Once you get to the gerbil stage silveritis will have progressed to a state that is hard to come back from.

I do know that you silver riders will stop for any bike. Since you are simply rocking in place outside of the walmart its pretty easy to stop. All you have to do is wait for that quarter to run out. Then fight the urge to start laying on the ground and start spooning with each other. If you can do that then all you have to do is walk over and help the stricken rider. It probably doesn't happen very often. I mean how many bikes are going to break down right in front of a walmart? And how often will you be able to fight the spooning that happens when the quarters run out. Paint it black. Then you won't have to wonder what it is like traveling at warp. You will be able to do it.

I thought we were done talking about gerbils.

Gerbils...poetry...more gerbils.

I see a pattern.

FYI. Don't take that black XX to Walmart unless you want to get trampled.

Logoman... Excellent. Recognizing your illness is the first step to recovery.You know the steps to recovery. Start with that fender and just paint a spot of it black. Then hold on tight. You won't need your quarters any more.

Good advice there Streker my boy...but what I usually have the slower colourd gang do to prepair for increased speed, is to start by wearing one red sock....then in a few years when the slower colourd rider has gotten used to the increased speed, and can ride without screeming like a girl...we have them put on the other sock.

The only bad thing with this system, is most slow colourd riders take to long to be able to handle the extra speed....that they end up dying of old age long before they can even handle the 2 red socks part of my " go faster" program...pity, because I know they are all crying out to be helped by the one and only "RED BRIGADE"...but we have so little to work with, that the success rate is very very very very low with these types.


Oh well.....at least they can still worship us....so, kneel suckers...


and as always, this taunt has been brought to you by the colour red, and the number 1.

I TOLD you not to take your black XX to Walmart. You've obviously had your head trampled and can't think clearly.

Black only leads to poetry and gerbils. That's wrong! Do we have to have another intervention for you?

I think Lois has a red sock for you. First red, then blue, ti, and on up to silver. Once you get used to the one silver sock - and don't try to use it to pleasure yourself - Lois can send another red sock to you and you can work your way up to a complete pair of silver socks.

The reason I had to change that, was because some of our members were confused by it.......go figure

Lois,

It seems your dementia has just progressed tothe next stage. You seem to have forgotten how you misguidedly spelt the word COLOURED as "cloured". Your addled brain now thinks that it spelt "colourd".

You are obviously living in the past when the Indian Chief was considered a fast bike. This is where the colour delusion was first started.

Hiesti, do you actually wear that yellow thing on your bike, that would scare the crapper out of everything that seen you coming, at least the coppers would leave you alone, they would be scared to death to come near you,
Brian.
