    Drewl,

    Funny you say that. I saw a yellow '00 (obviously the slowest color ever made) today. Weaving all over the road like he or she was drunk. It was hard to tell if the A-star jacket was covering cleavage or ... I do think the mustache was a fake. Thats just me. Don't hold me to that. Big stinking flat spot in his rear tire. I guess the person doesn't go around corners. But, alas, this is AZ so there may not be any corners where he/she lives.

    I saw a VFR1200 yesterday in Murfreesboro TN. Whoever it was they saw me too on "Angel", my old school RWB resto.

    Anybody here?

    I saw a 7th Gen in Lambertville NJ heading toward the bridge to New Hope, PA. It was red & had a red top case, sighted around 1630.

    KC-10 FE out...

    Saw this 6th Gen - for sale - in Tulsa, OK. 81st and Memorial. I had to do a double-take and had to pull around the block to make sure. The "For Sale" sign was asking $6,000. Since the guy put his phone number on the sign, I'm sure he wouldn't mind it being posted here: 479-530-9491.

    Saw the Veefalo 1200 headed north on Rt 7 in Brookfield Ct 4 days ago and a red 02 or 03 headed north on Rt 63 in Watertown Ct today. It's an omen.

    red 5th gen

    Today 4-10-2011
    Red 5th gen with silver givi side bags.
    Headed west on Bodega hwy toward salmon creek, just north of Tomales, Ca.
    HE/SHE might have noticed my 03 silver 6 gen with HID's headed east, and waved.
    Drew my attention later because MY previous owner wanted 6 bills more for the silver givi branded bags and brackets. He made a last minute call to previous owner, who had wanted another vfr and bought a 5th gen red. They bought the silver givi 55's.
    Previous owner said they missed the bike and wanted the silver givi's and said would have them painted red.
    Rare bikes out here? havent seen many

    I saw someone on a Italian red 6th gen today with decals all over it. I was riding towards Fort Collins on the road that takes you from Horsetooth reservoir to Masonville. They waved and looked like they gave a little extra wave when they realized I was on a red 6th gen too. If you read this pm me or something. I would like to see more pics of your bike and maybe ride together sometime. The only decal I remember was a "46" next to one of the headlights.

    crashed in the ditch on Stove Prairie a couple weeks ago. Sand and apex cattle guards win again.

    You should have procured those kick-ass seat beads for me, Tink. Judging from the mess the owner left, I doubt he'd mind. Looks like it was a painfull mishap.

    That is a painful site (sight). Cattle guards can be a menace to bikes, especially on an apex. I imagine a cold morning in march does no favors for tires on a bike with sand only compounding issues. Is stove prairie up past Carter lake, in that area?
    Side note- How do you post full-sized images? Mine showed up only as thumbnails you have to click on to view in full size.

    Stove Prairie is Masonville to Poudre Canyon.

    Easiest way to post (and explain) full size images. Upload your pic to photobucket. 'bucket provides four different link styles for use on the interwebz. Copy and paste the link called "IMG Code". Once you see the format for IMG code, you can right click and copy the link for most any image on the interwebz and manually use IMG and /IMG to embed the pic. It's hard to explain because if I used the actual code, you would only see a pic.

    If you get email notification of thread updates, your email may show the IMG code and web address of the image rather than display the picture.

    Around 5:20pm today I saw an 84 (I think) interceptor in the red, white, and blue color scheme in what looked like perfect condition on golf road in eau Claire, WI. Was it anyone on here?? I was thinking about turning around and finding him but didn't want to be that guy lol. Would be nice to ride with a fellow Vfr though.
