International University Day of Red Bikes

[xwhatsit]

There were more around the corner too.

I stand alone, a sole silver rebel in a sea of red...:rolleyes:

[Magua]

We can turn the tide. I shall by making my mark tomorrow (first exam :crybaby:).

[McJim]

Red ones go faster dude. Supercheap auto have a special on with spray paint.

Nah, I've seen your Ducati, don't tell lies :bleh:

Whoever put that tag, it is really exciting!!!

[Gremlin]

:killingme Remind me how many times a black bike passed a red one again? :clap:

Black is obviously the faster colour...

[Phurrball]

People kept crashing into me on red bikes.

Now my ride is giant and yellow to break the curse...

[BANZAI]

Mine's red and its the world's fastest GN :lol:

[klyong82]

and in turn it is now you who is doing all the crashing.....a certain concrete pole and it's meeting with your rear light comes to mind :whistle:

I can cope with being mocked for being mildly retarded and having 0km/hr crashes with inanimate objects so long as it doesn't happen too often (the crashing, mocking I can deal with:lol:).

It sure beats the inconvenience and hassle of being knocked off by dozy cagers and then the insurance hell that can come afterwards - even when it's not your fault.

Painting Rob's old bike was fun! Anyone else want to volunteer their machine for a mean make over??

Muahaha, don't tell him that!

I reckon leopard spots would look good with your wine red tank, Yui :niceone:

You mean STOCKING?

Howbout that rising sun paint of Japanese Imperial Force? :laugh::chase:

I liked that flag you guys used to have. A shame you ditched the `sun rays', why was that? Less imperial influence or something?

[Slyer]

That flag was just for the army I believe?
They ditched it after ww2 for obvious reasons. :bleh:
I think they just have a defense force now?

Modern self-defense force flag:

Current (and old) naval ensign:

Old (unused) flag of Imperial Japanese Army:

I dig the sun-ray ones; hell, the standard accepted modern Japanese flag (just the red sun disc) was all that was used in the airforce during WWII, and nobody whinges about that one (well a few do in Japan apparently). The Christchurch Japanese Classic Motorcycle group has a logo based on the sun ray design.

I reckon an old CR750 or 60s GP-style flat-fairing bike would look great in all white, with a red sun disc on the side. Mebbe a red/white two-tone tank as well? Honda's 1960s F1 cars were done like that.

Well you have to admit that a red dot on the side of a plane is a lot easier to paint. ;)

[BANZAI]

Yea I think what you guys saying is right (I wasn't listening history class when i was in japan)

Sun-ray ones cooler! But then yea for obvious reasons. Plus disc is lot simple haha

The 60s Honda F1 car is cool, "Tranverse" V12!!!

do you really want to fly on a plane with a target sign painted on it :shit::mellow:

[Slyer]

Hey at least they weren't as bad as the British. :)
