Motorcycle color change

As mentioned previously, I bought a CBR600RR this week. The bike is black, but I'd like a high-visibility color for this one (my other bikes are black and gray). I'm leaning towards solid yellow (like Porsche's Speed Yellow) or solid red (ala Ducati).

Red, even though it's not my favorite color by any means, but make the graphics white, not black.

I have a red Ducati, and I don't think color makes any difference in your visibility to cagers. That being said, red is Honda's traditional racing color. Repsol livery would be cool, too, though you'd have to find a pretty good painter so it doesn't look too done-in-my-own-garageish.

I've never cared for the Repsol livery, but you can buy kits with it pre-painted because it's so popular.

Speaking of Ducati and not being seen by drivers, just saw this today:

Check this site out: CBR600RR Fairings & Body Kits | ABS Motorcycle Fairings®

Lots of really cool paint schemes. These are full fairing kits that come pre-painted. These cost probably less than a good paint job.

How about Captain America?

Is it me, or was the rider looking to his right into the parking area and saw the car too late?

CHP is negligent in not closing that illegal parking area and/or banning photographers. 90% of the accidents are caused by hotdoggers or idjuts driving with their heads up their asses.

Yeah but why was the car driving perpendicular to the highway?

That doesn't make sense....
