A spot of black on the front fender of a silver XX, that would be like the front wheel has seized up, HOLD ON TIGHT as you go over the front end.
Very Very dangerous, dont put any thing black on the front of a silver XX, especially BLEEEEEECCCCCKKKKK paint.:idunn o:
Logoman, You will need the quarters to clean the slow black crap off it,

Yep, black on the front fender is a recipe for slow.

But, I guess you could use a small dab of black paint on the fender as a poor man's steering damper. If the spot was less than the size of a dime you'd only lose 25 hp or so.

Perhaps, but you would have to be very careful to ensure it was exactly centered lest you cause the bike to pull to one side or the other. Would it not be safer to strap a diving belt to your forks?

The only safe way around this is to keep any thing black, off the front of a silver bike.

True. Which is why you have to be very alert when riding our silver bikes because its very easy to misjudge the closing speed on a stationary or reversing black XX and run the poor dears over.

As I stated earlier, Logoman, they get stuck in my radiator, which also slows me down, fortunately, they are behind the front wheel, and not a danger to me or my Silver,XX,
The poor dears do squeal a lot as I pry them out of my radiator,

Re: How come bike color affect its top speed ?

Lois... Now that's it. Maybe logoman and chewie will recogonize another symptom of silveritis. I thought that logoman was going to come around once he recognized the symptoms but he seems to have fallen in deeper. Deadman was already too far gone. I mean he's so delusional that he still thinks his bike is silver. Silver riders. Take a look at the link that Lois has in his post.
That is what happens when you guys go out on your little silver bikes.

Strekkkkiieee, I dont know what we can do for you. That horsie ride Lois is on is YELLOW. Your colour blind as well as he is.
At least we Silver riders can tell the different colours and we will have fun watching you pair on the merry go round.

Re: How come bike color affect its top speed ?

Geezuz H Krist, you guys are still fighting over which color is faster when I have already told the truth on this subject.
CBR1100XX Super Blackbirds are fastest when they are red.
None of the Birds of colors we do not speak I have seen in the past six months had the balls to stand with me on the drag strip and or in the canyons.
Until you bring you and you slow Bird to my end of town for a thrilling romp in the canyons, you are all slow colorblind retards.

Hate to break it to ya, Shrek, but I didn't see ANY Silver on that horse. What I DID see was a red saddle and black reigns.

We now return you to your regularly scheduled medication...

Boy you silver riders are sure a piece of work there chewie. I can see that the silveritis continues to cloud your head. The link was an example. Next time I happen by a walmart I'll take an actual picture of one of you silver riders and your little silver bikes doing the same thing. I just hope that I get there before the quarters run out and you all start spooning each other. I'm was glad to see that it wasn't one of you silver riders that died in that stampede during black friday.

Last time I checked, up and down and back and forth is movement. In a silver XX riders case, its brutally fast UFO-type movement.

Speaking of UFO's. I was having a drink with one of the Grays the other day on a little space journey I took and noticed a silver probe in his hand. He told me to let Lois know that he has a few more questions for him - a few probing questions if you know what I mean. I told him to make sure he gets Lois's pants back on the right way this time. That zipper in back is a hoot, though.

Thanks. I'm glad to see you're finally coming to your senses. You can aspire to the same, it's just a paint job away.

You may want to back off the meds a tad, you've mispelled 'clourd'.

Yeah, I saw those 1/16 scale models the other day. They look pretty good. They also sell the full-sized black ones there, but they're marketed under the Fisher-Price brand. Must be handy for you when it comes to replacement parts.

I hadn't heard about a stampede. Where was this? Probably more out Lois' way - he lives in stampede country.

Black Friday.

"The crowd had a strong wave-like effect and grabbed us in. i almost broke my arm trying to hold my family together. People just kept pushing and grabbing, everyone was for themselves basically, some even punching just to get through
i do regret going that day, and it just shows me how animalistic humans can be."


Who in their right minds would see a crowd like that and think anything good was going to come from it?

I didn't loose any gerbils. Never had one. I would say that I think that Silverbrd may have lost some.

Re: How come bike color affect its top speed ?

I fail to see how shoving a gerbil up ones butt....and owning the fastest colourd XX have anything in common??????????????????????

....because,

a) I don't know anything about the whole"Gerbil" thing....

and yet...

b) I have the fastest colourd XX ever made


So if you have been shoving gerbils in your A** in some sad....and very weird attemp to become as fast as the Red Riders Club.....you need to stop, because reguardless of what Logotroublemakerman has told you.....it will not make you any faster.


and it is bad for the gerbils too.




oh, and one more thing.






clour =


Red =

Re: How come bike color affect its top speed ?

What is it with all you silver riders and contantly bringing up gerbils? It is true that Silveritis is a consistent disease. One of the major symptoms of the disease is an inability to grasp reality. Just look at deadman. I mean he thinks his bike is silver. He doesn't even want to stand up for his own color.

Perhaps there was a sale on Silver paint. That would explain what Strek was doing there. Although, I suppose a sale on Habitrail tubes could also explain his presence. (sorry Nutter, couldn't resist a parting shot)
