Official VFR sighting thread

[derstuka]

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!

I saw both of my VFRs today.

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.

I saw a red 6th Gen on Rt 91 South in CT on Friday. Black microns. Looked great. Sounded great.

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???

Silver 6-gen in Estes Park last Saturday (07/12) around 4pm. Had a Cortech soft tail bag and ATGATT. Anyone from around here?

[VT Viffer]

This is going to be a LOOOONGGG thread.

Thanks, Stuka!

I saw a red 5th gen heading on to Tower Hill road in N.Kingstown today. Looked to be headed toward Razee's maybe? I also see a red 6th gen going to and from Newport usually on the bridge a few times a week.... It looks and sounds like it has Staintunes....anybody 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.

[Molsan]

Saw a nice black 6th gen riding 2 up with full set of hard bags... pointed it out to my wife:see hard bags make the bike look more comforatble. she said it looked fat..
i cried on the inside.
this was just east of red deer.

[ILVFR75]

i saw a nice looking red 5th Gen last week. he followed me south on Hershey in Bloomington, IL.

[Vlad Impaler]

Okay, I'll play.

4th gen on Rt9 then parked at the Army National Guard Aviation Center in Shelbyville Indiana 7/14/08.

6th gen white turning into Greenwood Mall 7/16/08 approx 1PM, no helmet/shorts/sneekers/t-shirt. I responded to a wave with a knock on my lid and subsequent point of my gloved finger. Anyone want claim that one?

[Nungboy]

I'm in too!
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?

[Nungboy]

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?

[Azamat]

I saw this pretty little thing on Franklin Ave a block east of East River Parkway. Is very nice!


Third gen, I presume?

[ewryly]

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!

[K1W1]

Black 6-gen with OEM luggage - been parked across from Platte Park all day today... anyone, anyone???

[Nungboy]

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!"?

[drewl]

No, it wasn't wasn't me.

And just for that, I'm quitting the forum.

[derstuka]

Damn, drewl is gone now. Shizzle...we have to becareful with folks around here.

No second gen.

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.

[howl]

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.

'Coz VFRs rock.

Goble, OR - on Hwy 30 headed towards St Helens, red 4g - I passed you in my bmw

[howl]

[dskelton]

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.

[Nungboy]

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...

[drewl]

Nope, still nuthin.
