    Oh, that's what I get for reading/posting at such an early time in the AM... Mine was a 5th gen also, but I see now this last one was a 6th; oh well.

    I think it was a 750, I saw it in Brookeville OH, McD's off of 70. On Saturday, 7/18. He was leaving as I pulled in on my 6th Gen.

    nothing wrong with 2 up IMHO ( althoagh it doesnt work for me on my particular bike ), but minimal gear is a sin. Hope they got home safely.

    I see two almost daily. One 83-84 RWB with a milk crate on the back for storage? usually down Auburn blvd and Antelope.

    And a Yellow VFR black gear and white helmet ( looked like drewl for a minute ) passes everyday. Stop in and say hi!

    saw a 6th gen with one of those aftermarket bodywork fairing sets from china on it. it was the repsol version. i had to look really hard to make sure it was a VFR with the black headlight fairing and all.
    gotta tell ya, didn't look too bad from afar. wonder if it was held together with packing tape or did the bolt holes actually line up?
    nevertheless, pretty cool. and cruising through my neighborhood heading up san vicente toward sunset blvd.
    sadly, he was only wearing one of those spine protector vest things. no arm protection.

    Red 5th Gen - Tyrone Area of Saint Pete Florida

    I was coming back from the bech last night around 9pm or so (7/24) and lo and behold a red Gen5 with a female rider. She had her "Home Gurlz" with her and one was on a Ninja 600 and the other a GSX-R 600. I only stayed with them for about a mile.

    I saw a red one going up Carroll road today about 9:00. Actually I heard it first as it was coming up behind me.

    Just passed two 6th gen VFRs on my way home from work. A silver, with factory baggage, and a gunmetal colored one. The were pulling a goodly sized group of sport tourers down NC Highway 88, in Ashe Co. I gave the group the thumbs up, looked like they were havin' a good time.
