Unobtainium - what are you trusting for???

[High_Side]

Hey Bruce... Remember when Blackfoot Motosports had the PINK (err...ummm... I mean Nuclear Red) Triumph Speed Triple? I'd love to have that one.

I was going to give you a hard time and tell you that I wouldn't ride with anyone on a pink bike.....but that would have been hypocritical......

Ha ha ha ha ha... First it was teal trucks, then pink bikes? What's wrong with you???!!!!

In my defense it was 1990, and I ordered the RED one from a black and white photo in a magazine...... What arrived was THIS:

It must not have been all bad. I had more positive comments on that bike at that time than I have had on any Ducati, Honda, Kawasaki or KTM that I have had since. It also sealed the deal with Mrs. High_Side, carrying us on our first date about 1 month after I picked it up.

No regrets!

Ahhh so another manufacturer trying to pass PINK off as RED... I'll never forget when I asked the sales guy at Blackfoot what the price of "the pink bike" was, he said "what pink bike?... OH you mean the Nuclear Red Triumph?" I am still laughing.

I'm glad it worked too! You two make a perfect pair and great friends to boot.

Lots of sexy bikes!

Of course I was trusting after this little piece of tail as my first bike back in the early, early 90's. Yes, I did buy one for $1500 CDN in 1991.



"1983/4 Honda Magna V30.... It's the tail"*.

*That should have been the tag line for it at the time.

The decals had a distinctively pink look to them....but hey it was 1990 and it was still a lot better than the stuff Suzuki was doing back then!

Oh yeah sort of a dark fuscia. Fuscia was a popular color in the 90s. I love the 90's bold graphics, like the Purple/Metallic Yellow/White Smoky Joe CBRs and the Purple/Lime Green/White ZX7Rs. In fact the 90s had the best graphics ever! Along with the best hip hop ever and the best club music!

LOL. Ah, the 90's rave scene....and here is a little known fact, I had a retail store (Internet Cafe) from 1993-1997 in Markham, Ontario called "Storm Multimedia".

The green and white ZX7s were awesome back then. The original CBR900 and RC45s were beautiful as well.

LOL - those are quite the graphics, looks just like the colour schemes used by most bike manufacturers in the day. (Not that I actually remember that because I was just a wee girl at the time... )

Remember Vuarnet and Ocean Pacific though? Ridiculous!

WHAT??? Nobody is taking advantage of that opener - Mike talking about a piece of tail...
