    WORD...

    The Hawk has been sold.

    We were looking for a 6th Gen but in the end, I simply could not pass up buying a 2001 with 2501 miles on it. That's right, 2501. The Wife loves her bike & has even named it after a character from a German cartoon she remembers from her youth.

    KC-10 FE out...

    Oooh!! I saw one!!

    Red White and Blue Interceptor on Charles St. W by U of T in Toronto on Wednesday (the 19th) in the evening. I was going to dinner. I squealed "oooh! I have an '84" to the owner. It was a dude. I am unsure of the generation. I was just excited to see it.

    This is a belated report.

    About two weeks ago, I saw a motorcycle during my morning commute - near Rosa and Mineral Point roads here in Madison.

    Red White & Blue paint. A bold "Honda" on the tank in white within a red stripe. Looked kinda naked - much less fairing than I'd seen on other VFRs. Square headlamp.

    I searched the galleries for a picture, but all the 80s era bikes I saw had details that were wrong.


    I was browsing the galleries again this morning . . . and saw this:

    So, I saw . . .

    A 1984 VFR1000F.

    Cool. Or, SuperCool

    Saw a Red 4th gen. going across the Hulton Bridge in Oakmont PA this afternoon.
    He didn't wave? Maybe he was afraid of falling into the water!

    On Ortega Highway today, spotted the all-white VFR with K&N stickers on it... the rider was the guy who got me onto this site, and yet I have no idea what his damn name is :p

    In any case, he and I were both ridin' with a bunch of other sportbikes, and made me feel great to see another dinosaur (sorry, "classic machine") out there carvin' the pavement...

    Saw a red 6th Gen this past Sunday around dusk on Rte. 100, about 15 miles below Allentown. It's easy to miss red VFRs since they are the fastest.

    Just spotted a 6th Gen Candy Apple Red rolling down Main St. in Hightstown at 5:45. My 4th Gen was sitting out on the driveway. I had just pulled in from my ride home from work. Next time stop by.

    Spotted a white with red, really old (I think 1st or 2nd gen - silver painted steel frame, little tiny fairing around headlight and lower 'scoop') at the BP gas station corner of 10 Mile and Wolverine in Rockford, may be the employee, cause it was parked out to the side where they park.

    I saw 4 VFR's on Sunday. All sightings were around 1430-15300.

    1 Red 5th Gen on PA RT 32 southbound just north of Lumberville.

    1 Silver 6th Gen on NJ RT 29 northbound between Frenchtown & Stockton.

    1 Red 4th Gen pulling out of the Sunoco on RT 29 in North Trenton.

    1 White 6th Gen leaving Peddler's Village as we were pulling in.

    We were the Red & Yellow 5th Gen tag team.

    KC-10 FE out...
