purple?

fast by 2/10ths of a second or is the "electric blue" faster? Also how does
adonizing corrolatte' to the "squid factor" of a motorcycle?
8^) you did ask for silly!!

Well this brings up an interesting question. How would the light
reflecting off the purple affect the speed? Before we try to answer
this, we need to look at the Doppler Effect.
As some of you may be aware, any kind of wave action is affected by
movement into or out of it. Thus, a train or car horn coming to you
seems to be slightly raising in pitch, but after it passes and it is
going away, the pitch decreases.
Light is no different, except instead of pitch, it becomes more blue or
"blue shifts" when it comes closer (since that is a compressed
wavelength) or "red shifts" when it moves away (since that is an
expanded wavelength).
Okay, sorry if I bored those of you who are familiar with the Doppler
Effect.
Now, we need to look at the color purple. It is a composite color made
up of two primary colors: Red and blue. This automatically seems like a
conflict of interest here. I would almost have to say that red or blue
might slow you down or speed you up, but having both would cancel each
other out.
Painting the entire motorcycle flat black might help, since it would
absorb all the particles of light that you collide with. But then again,
that might slow you down.
Painting it white, or chroming everything might either have the same or
opposite effect. I'm not sure, since I don't know but so much about
light resistence.
However, comma, I do seem to remember reading something in an obscure
issue of Unpopular Mechanix about maybe 12 years or so ago about a
concept Spagthorpe was playing with. Basically, they retrofitted a
Werewolf(TM) so that it was encased in millions of fiber optic lines.
This would allow all the light particles to be collected at the front
and pass right through to the back, being neither absorbed nor
reflected, but slipped-through altogether.
Unfortunately they had to abandon the whole project as it caused the
plain old ordinary wind to cause so much resistance as to render the
fiber optic slipstream apparatus pointless.
I think they may still have a model sitting in a warehouse, waiting for
the day rocket-propelled motorcycles travel through the vacuum of space
and atmosphere is no longer an issue. Then they'll just have to figure
out how to keep micrometeoroids and cosmic rays from perforating space
bikers on a cellular level.

She did, but I'm afraid that the gravity of this thread will disappoint
her. Then again, watching that purple snake pushing a doughnut across my
wall makes me question everything.
Be that as it may, just keep in mind that if there was a problem, yo,
I'll solve it. Check out the hook while my DJ revolves it.

Yes all well and good. "BUT" Sir Jullian addressed those issues in the latest
issue of the quadrennial Spagthorpe owners jurinal circa (1999)with the new
stuff they have <teflon paint in unobtanium yellow> in the works surface
friction with any thing larger than
1/100,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 the size of a Muon wont be an
issue, they (spagthore) are going to be leaving the fiber-optic technologies in
the dustbin of history.
You still didn't address the issue... visa vi is the "atomic purple' faster tham
the "electric blue"? I think more correctly we could state that if the "electric
blue" is at th efront of the motorcycle then it may tend to pull the motorcycle
forward whilst the "atomic purple" would be more appropriately used on the
bottom of the motorcycle. There by negating any acceleration either upwards OR
downwards thereby creating a more stable ride. Mean while the "dead ferrari red"
could therefore in theory be used on the rear section of a motorcycle to
accellerate it at higher forward velocities.

You're approaching the issue from the wrong angle.
Everybody knows that paint doesn't really affect motorcycle acceleration and
top speed. What paint does is change the handling characteristics. It has
been experimentally proven by scientists that pink and purple paints greatly
improve motorcycle's handling, particularly when applied to unsprung parts,
such as wheels, swingarms etc. This happens because pink (and particularly
purple--but who can stand that color???) molecules bind to the surface of
the unsprung parts, and due to unique spin of their electrons make the bike
easier to turn into corners. In extreme applications, they have been known
to permit counter-steering on shaft-driven motorcycles, thus eliminating--or
at least reducing--the need for doulbe-rotor Wankel engines with double
shaft final drive, for the innovative design of which Spagthorpe motorcycle
company is known world-wide.
If you're indeed after faster 1/4 mile, you're in the market for some
aftermarket stickers. In the past, riders reported good results from using
Yoshimura stickers when applied to the lower section of the power band. The
now-legendary DoD stickers (when applied to the inside of the chain rollers)
have been known to reduce quartermile times by as much as fifteen minutes,
by warping the bike to above-light-speed velocities, and arriving at the
destination minutes before the lights turn green. Naturally, these
high-performance stickers were produced in extremely low quantities, and
were all sold out months before the production has started.

having made the mistake of using Gold adonized part on a chassis for racing I
have to disagree, over the course of two weekends I tried a gold adonized
chassis andthe next weekend a Black adonized chassis. Th black adonizing was
mrakedly faster by at least an order of magnitude. But the Gold did appear to
handle the slower sections much better. I think the pink isn't as fast as teh
purple but the best use for the purple is on the chassis mixed with black!!

Hmmm, You wouldn't have access to a 1/2 dozen or so would you (the DoD stickers)
I'd even take on a gang FAQ to get them...I know some might call me slut for
making the offer...I prefer the phrase "moralisticlly flexable" 8^) I'd even
drive a Yugo if you gave me a DoD sticker. YMMV
