    Frenchtown, NJ. About 10:30 am on Sunday, October 12th.

    Not only did I spot another VFR, but I got to spend a minute chatting with the owner. I saw his 2000 Yellow parked, so I had to park right next to him, considering mine is yellow also. No sooner do I have my helmet off than he shows up. We had a nice chat.
    Never got his name, or if he is on this sight.

    Let him hop on my bike for a moment since he had a stock seat and I have a Corbin, just so he could get an idea of how the Corbin feels.

    He questioned about my my (supposed) Race Tech, but alas, I had to inform him it was only a sticker that the previous owner had placed on the bike.

    saw a red don't know what gen but not to far off from mine(an 07) it was wednesday night after work in San Francisco around 6pmish. you took off at the stop light on market and got on the freeway. I was right behind you untill we hit the 101 / 80 split. you lost me right around the big s-turn before army st.

    Aslo so another red (again might be around my year) parked at CCSF. I was on my way to class and you were I think getting on your way. that was about 2wks ago.

    I saw a White 6th Gen with a Kagayama Shoei Helmet hanging off the left side of the bike on Saturday afternoon 4:00 in front of the Toyota dealership at Hilltop Mall in Richmond, CA. Looked pretty clean but with the weather as hot as it was so should've been riding! :rolleyes:

    Last Sunday, I went to a car show in Peddlers Village, PA with my neighbor & his friend. On the way home, I saw the same guy I saw a month ago. It's a yellow 00 VFR in the vicinity of KWRI. I call shenanigans. I am supposed to be the only yellow 00 VFR in the vicinity of KWRI.

    KC-10 FE out...
