ps Why do you think they paint Fire Trucks RED ? So They can go FASTER.


see.....If you can't poke fun at yourself , who can you poke fun at? Oh ya, thats right, the wrong colour riders club, cause they are easy to mess with. Well, that and they deserve to be laughed at....

Ha ha ha....I forgot all about post #72. But Nutter, when you really think about it, # 72 put this thing to rest a long long long time ago.

Since then all you wrong coloured riders have just been howling like a pack of scrawny coyotes about a fact that you can not change.....






my bike is silver and oh what a beaut, she looks just like a scrawny cotoye, slow and steady thats her game, her seven horse power is hard to tame.


I bet your knees are just killing you by now..........thanks though....

I guess since it's my typo, I had better say yes......



so "YES" from red leader.


Because, when you really think about it Russ, those guy's bikes are so hideous that we shouldn't use the words " color...or colour" to describe them.

Wow, and to think that something as simple as not taking the time to buy the correct colour in the first place, and blindly rushing ahead on an impulse purchase, has left these owners bitter and broken people.

Well that, and have you seen their mascot......?? LOL

What is there to be said that has not already been said, you guys with colors we do not speak Birds are slow and your bikes are slow also.
Red rules the road and it rules your heart too.

I do not know what a tampoon looks like swirling down the potty, thank you very much. But, I do know that my Bird is better looking than yours and faster too.

Whats faster, and apple or an orange ? An apple, because it's red

whats faster , a cherry or a plumb ? thats right the cherry

So, whats faster, a red bird or a red bird with a wrong clour rider on it ??? Dahhh....like this requires any thought at all.

You see, the problem that we are having here is not so much the colour of the bike ( or clour, if you ride a sucky bum bike) ,but the mentality of the riders themselves.

Simply put, if you don't have a ferocious mascot , a song playing in your head when you ride, and own a red XX then you may as well gather up your marbles and head home now.

You know, over the course of this battle , I have held certain facts back simply because I didn't want to horrify you, or make any of you cry. Even now ,I hesitate to bring certain things out in the open.....and damn my eye's for even being privy to some of the sad, serious things I am party to.

The guilt....yes the guilt that I feel over this whole affair is just terrible. Just knowing that now, everytime one of you wrong cloured riders looks at their bikes, you just want to kick it and scream " why god why", saddens my heart. Some of you may even now blame your wives or parents for your poor choice of clour. For some of you, I realize that the shame may in fact be to much, and you are now heading over to the hardware store to buy a coil of rope and a stool. Just knowing that some of you may hang yourselfs in your basements saddens me even further.

I feel terrible about calling some of you sissy lala's, I was just trying the " tough love" approach. I realize , now, the needless pain and suffering that some of you have been subject to on my account, and that because of my thoughtless nature, some of you have had to be rocked to sleep by your wives, or mummies, or even the big Greek guy** that you bowl with every tuesday, as you quietly sobbed into your pillow. For this I am truley sorry.

Now, lashing out at the very people who are trying to help you is the wrong thing to do. This is what the owners of the bikes which are the clours of which we do not speak, have been doing.

Why bite the hand that is trying to help you to your feet? Why strike out at the very hero's who have recognized your pearl , and have stopped what they are doing to try and help you?? Why microwave an egg without first pricking the yoke?? It just makes no sense at all.

Come on people, the red brigade has done nothing, and I mean nothing ,but try to help you retards see the truth, and make you all better people for it.

But no.....no, you all lash out at us like hissy little three legged kittens in a bamboo basket on a table near the front door of a small, yet well presented bungalow.

Why?........ why is jealousy such a deal breaker with you people? Good lord, I could go on and on about how much you guys suck.....but you don't, you all blow, and thats worse than suck any day.


All you had to do, to avoid all of this nonsence, was to not buy a bike that had slow paint.

What is so hard about that? ...and now, when the very people who are trying to help you point out this fact, you retaliate against them like it was their idea to do this silly, stupid, thoughless, not very well thought out, random act of stupidity.


Enough. You loose, we win.






please don't make me make a ryhme, i'll take red, over stupid...any time.




ah... .my loyal, yet miss guided subjects...thank you..








** not that there is anything wrong with the Greeks, a Greek Guy, or being rocked to sleep by one....or bowling for that matter**

Bravo, Bravo, Big Red Leader, and lover of Bears. These words will go down in history along side such notories as, JFK, M L King, Neil Armstrong and , Barney Rubble. Surely not a dry eye around the globe in BB World as these sentaments touch everyone of us. Be not affraid little clour coloured bike riders. We will not harm you. We are your friends. And even though we travel at speeds that you can only dream about. we will always be there for you. Sort of. At a distance. Kinda. Maybe. Well. Naaa.

There are 2 Kinds of Photographs in this World. Colour and "Black" and White. Dont see much of the later anymore do we ?

1101 posts in this thread and they still can't see the truth that has been laid before them, red is the best.
Ride on CBR1100XX riders and ride with the knowledge that red is fastest, red is the prettiest and red is the plain old best.

Fack! I was done at 4 pages!

Interesting topic at first now lets talk about another tech topic.

How about the benifits of making sure your exhaust exit points to the center of the bikes draft about 20' back off the bike for better speed?!?!?!?! New thread or are we painting exhaust?
