The annual fugly Blackbird competition was once again held at the NEC show. Some may remember last years metallic pink model that walked away with it, it couldn't return to defend the title this year as it's now been resprayed. However the competition was fierce with 4 entries and in reverse order they are -
3rd equal the two candy red models seen on different stands, no pic, couldn't be arsed to switch the camera on but you know how shitty they look anyway.
2nd The new 04 "Matt Gunpowder Black" - it just don't look "right" just the cobbled together end of the line model that we know it is. Spoke to a couple of the Honda men they're saying Japan isn't releasing any details of the updated bird yet, believe they have had some problems with it and are making sure it is OK before announcing it but hadn't got a clue when it might be but will be ASAP as they don't want to lag too far behind the opposition. The matt bike paint was all marked greasy prints and that and when I mentioned it was told it just polishes up great, what he seemed to forget was that this was only 5 past 10 and the show had only been open 5 minutes not enough time to get in the state it was unless someone had forgot to do it earlier on, going to take some work to keep it looking OK.
1st with no arguments wot a waste uglier than an Eye Abuser
