The best looking Blackbird color is Black, the reason for its' name (in the beginning at least), then 2nd would be Conq's bike, the silver But it looks good in any color

Yes, very nice color scheme on the XX. And you're right, not much happening until someone gets the CBR1000RR!

Why would someone getting the 1000RR cause more to happen in the Blackbird section?

Very purdy, indeed!
Personally, I am partial to bike photos that look like the bike's actually been ridden in real world elements.... bugs, road splooge and all....

Here's my 'Bird at the end of the 3147-miles-in-48-hour BLISTER rally last May. Whaddaya think, enough bugs for a sandwich?

A few days after taking delivery of my FJR... construction dust splooge:

Re: Not much happenin in here...

Ouch! I'm hurting just thinking about that distance in that short of time.


Average of 65 mph for 48 hrs, hell over here We would have lost out licence before half the ride was over, we have so many cops with radars, mobile speed cameras, fixed speed cameras, point to point cameras and now red light cameras that double as speed cameras
