    cheers!
    Is it just me who notices that black bikes are more prone to touch the earth!

    My BLUE bike, had no problem with this:



    Furthermore BLUE bikes can go through water (small lake in this case), without any problems!


    So I'm kind of tempted to say now, that "Black bikes suck!"

    Nice photo Barry! Oh, and I heard blue bikes do really well on flat terrain.
    Have you tried it yet on a hill or mountain?
    What about mud?

    There is a black bike on top of this hill.


    Could a blue bike make it thru this?


    Black bikes kick ass!

    It's very important to learn how to take crash gracefully. Sometimes, you really have to drop your bike before it crushes your leg.

    Nice to see you're riding hard Jeff..

    What about serviceability?
    Could a blue bike be so easily disassembled? Could blue bikes get professional services of the caliber of Dr. Cui?




    Black bikes get better services.

    Sit tight! Very soon you will see what blue bikes are capable of. I even hereby invite any black JH600 owners to join me to see if you can keep up with a blue JH600! Other colors are allowed to come as well of course. August 13-21!

    Good to see you guys replying, however the person I initially tried to provoke didn't reply yet.

    "Tried to provoke" was the accurate comment
    Anyway, you should know that black bikes stick together.

    Blue bikes sing the blues ... whereas black bikes have soul, baby.

    Red bikes? Any red JH's on MCM? Maybe "party" officials?

    And, of course, the green B's ... rugged, stable, utilitarian ... owned by modernized Indiana Jones-type.

    Luckily I never saw you wear a satchel (man-purse) while driving your JH600B!

    Purse usually goes in the B's trunk. Actually, though, I think one of the Shanghai boys made off with the satchel when they were visiting ... you know the reputation of SH boys ... a satchel would be irresistible, in the absence of carrying around their GF's purse.
