It wouldn't be near as much fun if it was just a boy's club! I am always glad to see women riding. When I began riding it was VERY rare to see a woman on her own bike. Back then it really was a boy's club. I like it better now.

Not at all. I know a young lady who loves to ride and would love to join the club, but she is still two years away from road legal in a cage and so will have to wait it out.
Welcome.

Is this just a boy's club, Red?! Nah! Not at all, young lady! We done closed down the Women's Auxiliary branch of this here place years ago. (...if memory serves, it was right around the time they replaced the kickstarter with that there little button on the handlebar) AND, unlike some of those "Motor Company" riding dudes you'll still see out there to this day, you'll probably never catch a Triumph rider sportin' one o' those "If you can read this, then the b*tch fell off" T-shirts, either! And so...WELCOME full-fledged new member!!!
Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)

Welcome to the hemans... No, wait, that's the little rascals, girls really are welcome here and several are members. In fact, I believe one or two of the admins are women. By the way, feel free to join in the ongoing argument as to which color is faster. There is no real question, of course, there is a reason they call it JET black.

GB, I guess I'll wade in on this. Black is not a color(colour). Black is void of all color. Black is a shade, therefore ye riders of the black must be shady characters. Of course the Red ones are faster everyone knows that, just as a cop. Mike

Salina is going to be alright, cause no matter what color she changes her mind to, she'll always be trimmed in red! And red rules! Red on! Right on! Ride on!

Actually it depends on your medium. On your computer screen it is (mostly) an absence of color. In printing and painting, it's more like ALL colors combined.

And some of us old farts who rode Meridian Trumpets when they were new! Don't yet know how that knowledge will transfer over to the new ones, but will be interesting to see.
Anyway...from what I've seen in the last few days, this is a great forum with even greater people.

That depends. The aspect (the way it looks) of all colors mixed together is white. BUT, if you mix all the paints in a watercolor kit together, it comes out black. Besides, considering black to be the absence of color, explains why the black ones are faster, they aren't slowed down by all that spectral radiation.
