    This morning on my way to work...RED 6 Gen...looked like he may work at UCR.

    I Pulled up beside him and said "Nice VFR". It Probably sounded like: "Why UCR?" Or "Wanna by my car?"

    Cause he said "Whadyasay?" So I repeated it...He just smiled and looked at me like "what the !@#$ did that guy say?"

    That's my story and I'm standing by it..


    Cheers,

    Bill

    My son saw this 2007 RWB at Harrison and 2nd in San Francisco this morning around 10am.

    He says Arrow Exhaust. I wonder how it sounds?

    What is wrong with that parking (besides tire not touching curb)? That is how I park on a curb. Maybe a little more of an angle most times, but perpendicular between cars many a time.

    You are correct mate...

    But if it's parked out there by itself, because bikes are typically longer than a car is wide, it doesn't give the space on a street, and may get knocked.

    More angle would give it a lower profile.

    My son might not be the best at determining the type! But it does look like it has the brand right on them. I can't confirm from Chicago so I'll take your word on it!

    Saw this lovely VFR today at the Rock Store along with it's owner and VFRW member 'pchmotoho' (I believe that's his name) and also ran into fellow member 'Lint' at Neptune's Net. Would have loved to join you Lint, but had to help another fellow VFR member 'ShawnCT450R' with a small task at Pt. Mugu Naval base. Good day today despite the heat...sorry East coast and Canadian members, it's a small price we pay for living in So Cal...wait, that's a benefit, it's the high housing cost, higher gas prices and Earthquakes that we have to pay to live here!

    Um. The Greater Vancouver area average detached house cost is just over $1M. Our gas is approx $3.70 USD/US gallon after conversions. We cooled a bit today to about 60*F and we have earthquakes, with major faults all around us. Just not as frequent and severe as you get down there....yet. But the big one is coming here too. When that one happens, the ground below my house will liquefy and my house will be gone. But go 150 miles east of here and it is a different story and you are very correct.
