    How do they know, being so dull and virtually invisible, no one can see how '' fast '' they go, but the Repsol ! :cool: You could see that bike coming in the middle of a rainbow !

    It's a common misconception that you can paint a black Blade with repsol colours and maintain the 'fastness' so to speak. A phallacy that the korean fairing boys have taken full advantage of and made a fortune with dodgy fairings and sticker kits. Unfortunately it is akin to snipping Samson's hair off, factually it has it's groundings in the mechobiology of the paraphysical aspect of the bike's origins, but even then, the most ardent western brain would simply fail to grasp the spiritual process that contributes to the performance that this celebrated bike brings into the ring. Whatever it is, and Baba-san's successors are simply not saying, it is all but lost if the hue is removed. Some native workers have whispered about a 'Dragon Society' deep from in Honda's triadical parentage, but who knows. It all sounds a bit hokey to me, but whatever it is, when you see the mythical black Blade pass ,make way and look down, because you are a mere witness amongst gods.

    Well, and very nearly coherently, said Tony.

    How many orange SR-71's did the USAF field?

    How many white, red and blue X-15's did NASA take to over 4500 mph?

    None. They were all black.

    The only things in the inventory faster were the Saturn Boosted Apollo's and the shuttle.

    Which were white.

    The same colour as my bike.




    And Fez's boots...

    With colour recognition skills like that, remind me never to offer you a job. Lol.

    The Sun is a G2 type star, classed as yellowish white. From space it actually is a pinkish peach colour.

    Dale Winton is orange, if that's useful for you mate.

    Two recalls stem from the steering components of the bike. One was made because the screws that secure the steering damper to the steering head could fall out because not enough Loctite was applied to the threads. :rolleyes:

    Also in the steering assembly, the Uniball bearing on the damper rod eyelet could slip out of its seat on the Ohlins steering damper. The solution for this is for dealers to install a special washer at the steering damper’s mounting point.:roll eyes:

    The engine cooling-related recall comes as the exhaust butterfly valve bowden cable cover could melt or burn due to excess heat of the catalytic converter, possibly causing smoke or fire. :rolleyes:


    In the rear suspension, the right and left swingarm shaft pivots could loosen, leading to a loss of control of the motorcycle. :eek: More like death:eek:To remedy this, dealers will be tightening the right and left swingarm shaft pivots to the proper torque settings. Thats all?

    The fifth recall comes as the front brake master cylinder reservoir hose might interfere with the threading end of the reservoir retaining screw, causing damage to the hose leading to loss of fluid and immediate death. Ducati dealers will be installing a cap nut and a washer at the end of the reservoir retaining screw for this Thats all?

    So if you mix Black & white on the bike and then add White boots logic dictates that you will be uber fast. What happens if you then add white & black leathers & helmet? I can feel warp factor 8 coming on and even the Enterprise didn't go that fast!

    Well look at the pictures of Fez mate. Before he got all that white kit he was 67. Now he's 14.

    White makes you go so fast, the ageing process begins to reverse. Time goes backwards.

    My bike is half white and since I've had it I've shit myself quite often. The last time I did that was over 50 years ago...

    White starship...
