    I was told by a guy he saw me on the far east side of our city earlier in the evening. He told me this when we both pulled up for a QT stop on the far west side of town. He has a 2003 Silver VFR. Officially a silver, black, and white in VFR in town. There's gotta be more...c'mon Kansas.

    I had forgotten about this bike until I parked next to it in a different lot at work today. This bike belongs to another employee at the company I work for. I know his name, but I have never spoken to him as he seems to always arrive before me, and leave AFTER me. I can attest though, that this machine is a road warrior. He rides this bike literally year-round. I have seen it in the lot during the dead of winter when it's the ONLY bike in any of the lots. By the looks of the well worn Corbin seat and the the faded tank and tail bags, you can tell that this bike must have MANY miles on it. It also seems to wear the copious splash of bugs on the front fairing as a badge of honor. I will contact the owner tomorrow and find out if he is a member on the forums here.
    Enjoy!

    "Motor Cyclist' magazine has an article on the 2nd gen's 24 hour track test, and the new 24 hour speed record they set with it.

    Well - this is kind of different.

    * I was sighted yesterday and I'm reporting it. *

    I stopped at a local gas bar close to my office before work. A guy came out and started chatting with me - apparently he has a 2003 in black and loves it. Probably spent a good 10-15 minutes chatting. We swapped business cards. Looks like I may have a new riding buddy soon! Haha

    Does sighting your own count? This is my 2007, on the day I picked it up 2 weeks ago. I always liked the VFRs, finally picked up one of my own after over 30 years of supersports.

    Done. No other streetbikes at the moment, so I am knocking the rust off street riding skills. Thought a VFR would be a nice relaxed way to do that, then get another supersport, but, I may stick with the VFR life. Loving the comfort, upright riding position (by my standards), and the fact that the bike isn't egging me on into more speed (GO FASTER! WHY ARE WE GOING SO SLOWLY?) when I am just trying to get to work in the morning. Yet, is a fun and willing playmate when I want it to be.

    Spotted a red 99 at a convenience store in littlestown PA. I talked to the dude for a few min. It was the first VFR I've seen here since I got mine 3 years ago.

    There was a red 5th Gen in Guelph, waving people out of a parking lot at Silvercreek and Woodlawn, I was behind all the cars waving like a dumbass.

    Seen this dude twice this week on the same road. Red 6th gen on Lundeen parkway, Lake Stevens Wa.

    3 miles from where mine is parked.

    Saw a red 6th gen on I 95. Shorts, wife beater, sneakers, and a little black helmet. Should have called the cops. Obviously a Hardly dude stole a VFR......

    Red 6th Gen today at about 11:15am heading South out of Minneapolis on 35 near Burnsville. Loaded down with gear.

    Was definitely touring like me.
