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

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.

As I have stated before........

If you are good enough.........

And have the stones to ride fast enough.........

They will turn a delightful shade of silver!!

Soooooooooo

Maybe its the rider not the bike

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.

Nutter67 · 02-13-2009, 6:21 AM

And blue is the colour of depression. If I had a blue one, I would want to commit suicide too..........

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.

dracki · 02-13-2009, 6:31 PM

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..............

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.
