I think the cold is getting to him. He was even talkiing about painting his bike dayglo pink, before it faded to that colour.

Re: How come bike color affect its top speed ?

Everything goes good with the color BLACK. Even the slower colored birds have BLACK on them. Its the bits of BLACK that allow you some forward motion and make your bikes look that much better.

Re: How come bike color affect its top speed ?

Only the 99/00 had the chip the later ones had fish and chip, that's why they tend to Flounder behind. Honda made the fastest one Blue because everything associated ie Electric, Lightning etc shouts Blue the Red ones are on fire trying to keep up, the Black ones are the burnt out remains of the Red ones, the Grey ones are the ash of Red & Black ones. Ha! what about the Silver Ones you may ask. Let's face it you wouldn't want a Silver one however fast it was.

What would a taswegian know any way, 10 second ride in any direction, regardless of colour and your swimming in the ocean. Tiny little Island tacked on underneath Australia. cant get there, except by boat.
But the first bit of your post is correct,

The Village People rode black and red bikes and the only thing they were fast enough to catch was AIDS.

Re: How come bike color affect its top speed ?

well i've parked besides all other (RAINBIRDS) Blackbirds in my time of riding & mine (The Black one) looks fast just standing still & comments from other bike owners (inferior brands) have said the Black ones look best,as for the fastest,well, every time i've come up against a rainbird & pushed the "lets give it a go" hint, they either chiken off & turn somewhere or just too chiken to push it hard,i've got no problem giving any bike a shot at the tittle,just no one wants to challenge a Black Blackbird.

i just don't understand why,apparently there slower,but one can only be slower if one has been beeten,as i said,the Black ones look FAST standing still,& a Black blurr in the frontal vision of a cloured bikes vissor,with a teeny little red tail light streeming in the distance..............

YOU ARE INCORRECT......riders of the birds which are the colours of which we do no speak are freaky......and not in a fast way....more like a water buffalo chasing a slug up a steep hill....with 3 of his hooves tied together ...with slow rope....now thats freaky



RED= Speedy Gonzales

clours = water buffalo

sissy la la's = every colour but RED

this taunt has been brought to you by pure speed, and the colour red...

First off,BLACK is not a colour its a shade (just ask Mike).
Secondly,red is not the fastest colour (its only a sales pitch used by salesmen,and we all know how dodgy they are).
Thirdly,silver is the colour of second place.
Fourth,blue is often the colour chosen by conservative people.
Fifth,grey is the colour of sorrow.
