Official VFR sighting thread

I ran into a guy riding a gold 85 VFR at Pacific Raceway in Kent, Wa. The bike was in great shape for her age.

 

Gold?.......................

 

The bike looked like it had a new paint job.

 

Saw a silver/grey 6th Gen with OEM hard bags today in the vicinity of Lumberville on PA RT 32 going south in formation with a silver FJ1300. It was ridden by a lady in a pink Icon jacket. Based on the jacket & FJ1300, this is almost assuredly the same VFR I saw at the Thunder On The River in Burlington NJ a few weeks ago.

We were going north on a yellow 5th Gen, a red 89 Hawk GT & maroon SV650S.

KC-10 FE out...
lane: :usa2:

 

I saw a '07 RWB with matching hard bags in Jonesborough, TN on Thursday June, 25th at about 10 minutes after noon. I tried to catch him, but it's hard (impossible) to catch a VFR while riding an XR250L.

 

Saw a red 5th Gen in San Diego riding two up on I 15 near the 15 56 junction.

 

Michigan 4th gen

Heading eastbound on I94 near mile marker 131 between Parma and Jackson.

Red 4th Gen (well the nose anyways). Looked like it was missing some fairings. Only had a quick look as it was raining pretty decent at the time and I was out riding just like the other 4 hooligans I saw today riding in the rain.

 

Business 40 Eastbound, Winston-Salem NC, this evening, 5:20pm EDST, I was headed west in my cage, spotted the distinctive headlights of the 4G, hard to tell which year (couldn't see the lower fairing for the jersey barriers), single rider looked like commuting out there in the heavy eastbound traffic (yuk).

I have a '96 purchased recently, but I'm more of a country rider myself - I haven't see too many folks on the forum from my parts yet, so representing the Piedmont Triad - hey brutha, holla at me.

 

South Bound Watt Ave @ Hwy 50, Sacramento about 9:00pm. Beat up 4th gen, we did a couple light to lights.

 

This past weekend at Laguna...
a 6th gen
a 6th gen
a 6th gen
a 5th gen
a 5th gen
a 5th gen

and so on and so on
Talked to a couple of 6th gen owners who were unfamiliar with the sight(whatever) and invited them to join. We'll see if they do.

There was a nice 4th gen riding around. There was a rashed up 5th gen, I did not bother to talk to him. I even saw a yellow 5th gen going by on a tow truck. HEY!!!! that's my bike!!! Had to go get it out of detention because I parked in front of the bathrooms by turn 5.

 

Crossed paths with J. from Ohio, today at Deals Gap. He was on a metallic red 07, with factory hard cases.

Vfr

I saw a RWB '07 in Sonora with a group of other riders/bikes. Talked briefly at a stoplight downtown. He was returning from the GP with them and lives in Reno. Is there anyway to find out who this guy is in Reno? Drewl...that's your territory! (I'll PM you).

Saw a red one and a silver one a month or so ago in Sonora, CA too. They looked like locals as they had no bags, luggage or backpacks...wonder how I'd find out who they are?

Saw a Red 5th Generation at the corner of Grand Avenue and Mission Boulevard in Pacific Beach, CA today at around 12:50 in the afternoon. The rider had a black helmet, shorts, tennies and a brown backpack. I whistled and waved and was wearing an orange t-shirt in front of Starbucks (where else?)

 

Michigan I-94 Westbound near mile marker 140 Sargent Road (just East of Jackson)


WHITE!!! 5th Gen.... any takers?

 

Saw a red 5th Gen Amherst NH route 101-A at the lights in front of Wal-Mart.. Appeared to be comuting home from work as was I...

 

Saw a 3rd (or 4th) gen red one in Rapid City, SD two weeks ago. Tried to talk to the guy but he had just put his ear plugs and helmet on and was about to roll out of the lot.

 

Spotted a red 4th gen on Mo. Flat Road in Placerville this morning on my ride into work.

 

Red 5th gen with black hardbags traveling westbound on US12 near Three Oaks, MI on 7/8/09.

 

Were the hardbags shaped like my side cases or my top case? I thought someone in Kzoo or Grand Rapids had the 36 liter side cases (shaped like my top case - clam shell design)....or maybe it was northern Indiana...my memory isn't so clear on this...


EDIT: or were they the Black Corbin Beatles? I saw some listed on Craigslist recently...GR area IIRC
