Default Spotted a black Bird today.

I have never really seen one of these bikes in the wild before. By my surprise it was parked in front of me.

Pretty common sight here in the UK - nice piece of machinery to ride.

That's not mine. The rectifier went out after 50,000 miles, yes thats right. Waiting for the replacement to come in. I have seen 4 others in Indy. 2 when I was at last years Moto GP.

Were the pics from Loop for Life? A buddy and I both rode in it. Great time. My first organized ride. I ride a orange 93 900 and my friend has a black 97 900. I would like to get a Blackbird as my next bike. We've actually ran in to two other guys that ride the 'birds.

Yes it was at the Loop for Life Great Ride. Real nice guy too that rides the bird. I had a real good time there. Did you watch Steel Horse sunday. They had me riding my Cane on the show in the 1st 5min.

The Blackbird is a very fun ride. The power is awesome and rides as smooth as silk. Have had mine for 2 years now and love it.
