Gotta say...you lot are a bit polite with newbies compared to the Blackbird forum....
By now they'd have asked:
What colour (black or nothing for some - the hint's in the name - BLACKbird)
Carb or FI model (carb is faster, more powerful, will get you laid, blah, blah.)
Who/where did you buy it from (half the bikes are bought from other forum owners. Some are bought back...)
How many miles (big bike which can handle HUGE miles)
All year round or fair weather (amazing the number of owners who commute on theirs throughout the year. Hence the big miles on many)
What mods are fitted (Like most bikes, there's an "approved" list that add to the value and show that the previous owner was a good'un - i.e. another forum member)
Does yer missus have big tits (Male Bird owners have a fascination with the size of wimmin's chests)
What bike meets do you go to (they're a fairly sociable bunch and Bird owners will stop and chat to other Bird owners...the conversation will be exclusively about Birds and who they know who rides one)
What car do you drive (yep, we talk cars on a bike forum...)
Do you want to sell it (Birds get sold to other forum owners pretty often. Many peeps on the forum own more than one. No idea why...one's plenty)
Do you want to buy another one (see above)
Do you do your own servicing (the collective knowledge on the forum is massive and the general consensus from the old guard is to steer clear of Honda dealers)
Married or divorced (there's very few singlies on the forum. Most couples tour, those that don't divorce)
Accident history (doesn't everyone like to compare scars..?)
What ops/illnesses have you had/got (most Bird owners are of a certain age. Also see above for accident history)
Where are you going for your hols (in other words, where are you planning to tour this year..?)
Are you taking the bike (hard though it is to believe, some folks go away and don't take the Bird. Again, it's an age thing for many)
