Who are these hooligans?
I was riding my '02 Yamaha FZ1 with my buddy on his Triumph ST to Mt. St. Helens on Monday, when we encountered four red VFR's at the Chevron in Morton. We later encountered these guys taking pictures of each other putting their knee's down on the road up to Windy Ridge. (Sorry we spoiled the picture by riding into the scene, we didn't know what you were doing, guys.)
The third time we ran into them, they were taking photos at a viewpoint overlooking St. Helens. I took a couple of shots of them as they were getting ready to terrorize more women, children, and chipmunks. Later on, we encoutered them a fourth time riding the other way into Cougar. One of them gave me his VFRWorld card, and his handle is reg71. They seemed like pretty nice guys, at least for VFR riders. I believe one of them said he was from Oympia, and the others were from So Cal (San Luis Obispo?). Who were those rogue riders? Last edited by racer Boy; 07-30-2008 at 01:35 PM. |

Four VFR's riding together must have been quite the sight to behold.

I've always thought those generations of VFRs were great looking bikes, but when they rode off, it sounded really terrific. Since they all had aftermarket exhausts, you could hear them for quite a while. Beautiful music! As my riding buddy said, it sounded like a V16!

7/20/08...
While riding around Corydon Indiana. I was leaving the gas station and spotted a '02 or '03 heading in the direction I was going. Finally caught up to him. Followed him for a good 3-4 miles. I was honking and waving and flashing my high beams. He never would pull over so I said to hell with it. Must be a jerk. ![]() He was pretty fat though. ![]()

Hey Racer Boy, thanks for stopping by and checking us out. You don't know it, but you had a brush with VFRW greatness. Several of our prominent members all together at the same time/place. A sight few of us ever witness.

Yo KajinVFR, take a few buckets of money. It is spendy there! I just spent the weekend there (got there in a cage though). There are some nice activities around the ski area. Take a bicycle (you can rent) up to the top of the ski lift and ride it down one of the many trails (from easy to wicked). If you like classical music the events at the Geral Ford Amphitheater are top notch. Some great gelato in town and great people watching too. Have fun! Take sunscreen and drink lots of water. Oh, Ti Amo is a good italian restaurant. Num num!

Kanjin - the trun off is right by Echo Lake (Google Maps) - look for the squiggly line south of Echo Lake (its actually route 5)
There are a lot of great rides around the Vail area or between Vail and Denver. Mt Evans has the highest paved road but it is a road in and out. I believe that the highest continuos paved road is Trail Ridge Rd in Rocky Mountain National Park (you'll need some $ for both places) Also check out the Peak to Peak Highway and Vail to Leadville to Bueno Vista. havcar and I did a ride over Mt Evans but missed the turn off up to the peak. I have 3 pics of our ride in my album but they are not overly exciting! I'm sure that either of us will come meet you from Denver if you pick a weekend to ride. Just send me a PM Edit - depending on which direction you go over Mt Evans - but, if you end up in Idaho Springs, go to Tommyknocker Brewery (make sure you stick to a 10 ouncer though so you can make it back to Vail |

ok, I never see VFR's around and now I have seen two in two consecutive days.
The first was a metallic Candy Apple red in Piscataway. Driving on Stelton Rd passing over Centennial towards I-287 around 4:15pm. The second was this morning a nice Matte black (I liked this color option) on Washington Valley road in Martinsville. Had a driver and passenger at about 10 am. The disappointing thing is neither times was I on my bike. : ( |

I see one everyday, if you can count an 06' black demo/used with 200 miles on it. It's for sale at the dealership across the street from me, they wheel it out everyday.

Very nice silver 6th gen spotted on 353 in Cattaraugus, NY near the fair yesterday Sat Aug 2, 2008 around 1PM.
Not viffers, but also spotted a couple CBR's, one a Respol, headed 16 South near Holland, NY. The Repsol had an Ohio plate. Both riders were wearing Alpinestars track suits. I hadn't seen a Repsol in person before, it looked pretty good. ![]() Last edited by porcupine73; 08-03-2008 at 06:58 AM. Reason: add date/time of sighting whoops |

I saw 3x4th Gen, 2x5th Gen, & 5x6th Gen at the motorcycle rally in Ephrata, PA this morning. Must have been a 1000 bikes there. I got parked in and had to hang for a while....which was good cause I got to chat with one of the 4th Gen owners.
Forgot to ask if he knew about VFRW though. ![]() |

we actually only saw about 5 on the whole trip not counting the people we were meeting. The bikes are getting pretty rare I guess. I thought the 6g had sold pretty well but we didn't see too many. I didn't even see any from Marin all the way to San Jose riding through tons of traffic.

It's an epidemic! For the 3rd day in a row I saw a VFR. This time a yellow one with matching hard cases heading north on I-287 between exits 6 and 7 around 11:05. Dual riders. No chance to wave or anything as it is a divided highway with a large grass median. I think it was a 5th gen, but I am not too good at distinguishing different years yet.

Red 4th Gen (94 i think?)
Heading North on I-95 in Laurel, MD. I cruised up next to him in the adjacent lane slowed down and pointed at his bike. Not sure even realized I was on a white 3rd Gen!!! what a pitty!! Didnt seem like he had any interest at all...or maybe I just scared him when I whipped up next to him? hard to tell, but I doubt he's on the site judging by the reaction. Who will claim? -S

Yo, Pearl! Isn't it funny the different reactions you get when initiating contact? Some guys are so blase and could care less...others are so happy to see you are interested. I was on the way home in the wife's Honda Accord last week when I saw a brand new Honda CBR 1000 ridden by a military chap. When he was behind me a a light I stuck my head out the window and gave him the thumbs up sign. He reacted like he knew I was also a rider. He and I traveled the same roads for quite some time and he seemed to enjoy that I was oggling the bike. He did a little show of acceleration at one point and I enjoyed seeing him ride on off.
To those kinds of guys: ![]() ![]() ![]() To the "could-care-less" guys: ![]() ![]() ![]()

I saw a Pearl White 6th Gen today coming home from work on Miramar road Eastbound and onto the 15 South. He was following a large Harley tourer. Both wearing orange milspec vests.
Anyone?

I saw a red 4th or 5th gen last Thursday in Benton, KY at a local Wally-world*parking lot taking a break. The bike appeared to be loaded for bar(that's bear in Davey Crocket speak not the drinking pasttime). By the time I had noticed what type of bike it was the guy and a woman had loaded up and were gone. I really wanted to talk to them as it appeared they were on quite a trek. Ah, say lah vee(eff-arr) and I was in my cage of course, which happens to be another Honda product.
