    Official VFR sighting thread

    Put your daily VFR sightings up here. Maybe some of us will have seen one another. Wouldn't that be so special??? Awwwwwwww......

    Well, I saw some guy on a red 4 gen, in Ocean Beach (SD, CA) Saturday 7/12/08 around 2pm dressed in only tank top, shorts, and flops. Needless to say, I did not feel the urge to leave him a VFRW card.

    Update: Thanks for the posts folks. If possible, try and put the location, time/date so that other folks might know if that was them that you saw. Thank ya, thank ya very much, thank ya!

    Hmm, *I've* been sighted by a member here (GeorgiaRider) when I was riding around with a buddy. He sent me a PM if that was me in Roswell. Indeed it was.

    I have seen a 5th gen yellow VFR on Marketplace blvd in cumming, georgia several times. I do the wave at him but don't know who he is.

    Hmm, I used to ride my RWb VF500F down to Southbay motorsports when I used to work there about 2.2 months ago. Maybe that was me? Then again, I would have waved unless I didn't see your or wasn't in the position to take my hand off the bar.

    I've always had the same helmet, a black HJC CL-15 Crypt. Jacket used to be a black Joe Rocket Rio Mesh, lost that then I started riding in Mesh/leather combo jacket with red leather shoulders?

    EDIT: NVM, you mean South Bay LA right? I'm in SD, sorry.

    Spotted a red 5G cruising up 117 in Essex, just past the 289 interchange.

    I was riding with my buddy in the lead on his RC51 - he waved, I gave a thumbs up...

    Anyone on here???

    I saw and met a RWB 6th gen this morning. I was walking back from a convience store near work this morning and up ahead I see a VFR at the intersection. I put a little get up in my step to catch him before he took off. I asked if he knew of VFRW and he said he had just joined. Welcome aboard mchase.

    For you Tucsonans: Saw a RWB 25th Anniversary this morning on westbound Sunrise Blvd (near La Paloma) at about 7am. It looked great! (I was taking my truck in for the big 60k service...wish I was on the VFR instead!)
    Was it YOU?

    OK! Here is a weird one: later that same day I saw what must have been the SAME 25th Anniversary addition at the Swan and Grant intersection in Tucson (heading east on Grant from Swan). No helmet. A chap with short black hair. I am not sure if it is the same fellow since I didn't have long to see him in the morning since he was going the opposite direction. Anyone here? But isn't that fun to see the same guy on the same day?

    I saw what I think is a fifth generation, red, VFR in West Hawley, MA on Rt 8a. It was parked at what I think was city maintenance facility? I envy you if you get to climb 116 and 8a every day!

    Another Tucson sighting: Sunday 7/20, two bikes headed south on Oracle road near the Tucson Mall. One was a 5th gen (I think) red VFR and the other I could not ID before they swooped by (I was headed the other way). >>>Wouldn't it be nice if we all checked this thread enough so that we could get some folks saying "yes, that was ME!"?

    There is a 4th gen that is parked next to my buddies house in the Ridgewood Area of North Lake Tahoe. There is another 5th or 6th gen that I see over in Truckee on a semi regular basis, I think they might commute down to Reno.

    Hmmm. Brilliant red 6G in the Pearl this afternoon. I thought "wicked cool bike!" and then I recognized it as a VFR, and wasn't surprised.

    Well, didn't quite make it to 3 today, but I saw a red 6th Gen on Amherst St in Nashua while out for a ride at lunch. Then saw a RWB 2nd Gen on Route 101 in Milford on the way home.

    Shorty! You are observant!
    I have one from far afield: Sunday July 27, I saw a red 6th gen heading west on I-70 just west of Wheatridge, CO on Sunday about 10 am. It was with 2 or 3 other bikes but I couldn't ID them all since I was eastbound. Lots of bikes (lots of luggage-laden BMW's) in general between Vail and Denver that weekend. I wished I was on my bike instead of the rental-cage...
