    On Wednesday I saw a white 2nd gen on I-395 going northbound around Hopeville (exit 86) in CT. I was stuck in the southbound traffic due to a tractor trailer running over a deer and doing a jackknife.

    So I think I saw a VFR750 in Spain last week. Not sure what year, I'm not very versed in that generation. I took a picture just for you guys. This was in Barcelona btw.

    Silver 6th. Gen. 9:30am Today I-294 heading south from O'hare Airport. I gave a big thumbs up out the drivers window of my GMC Envoy. He waved. This guy was working traffic pretty well at 75 to 80 mph. He exited westbound at I-88 heading towards Aurora IL.

    Great quote there from Mother Teresa, never heard that one, some Divine wisdom! Thx Afpierce489


    On topic of VFR sightings, had dual sighting on Friday 30 July. Was jogging at lunch yesterday on Coronado Ocean Blvd and saw white 6thGen heading northbound into North Island NAS west gate. Then, leaving work at NavAmphipBase gate at 4pm, saw really clean candy red 6thGen heading south on Hwy 75 towards Imperial Beach. First time I've had random sighting of two VFR's in one day, and both on Coronado Island!

    I had a dual VFR sighting on the afternoon of Friday, July 30th. The first one, a first gen RWB was parked in a driveway off hwy 113 in Lodi, WI. A couple hours later I saw another RWB first gen parked at the Waunakee Veterinary Clinic off hwy 19 in Waunakee, WI. Both appeared to be in nice shape, for all I know it could have been the same one....

    On vacation in Lake Tahoe I had two sightings. A blue 5th gen, I believe it was the same bike but can't be positive. The first was last Wednesday, the 4th at about 4:30 pm. Rider was with another bike making a left hand turn on to Rt 28 from Rt 50 south. The second was Saturday the 11th around 11:30 am making a left on to Rt 50 from SR 207. This time he was solo.

    Wish I had my bike out there, looked to be tons of great roads to ride. Rt 50 from Carson City to Tahoe - even for a two lane road - would have been an awesome ride.

    Black 6th Gen @ Stereo Live Sunday - Houston, TX

    You weren't there when I arrived... as I was leaving, I saw your black 6th Gen (questionably parked LOL). I was on the yellow 5th Gen parked smackdab in front of the entrance. It was just a bit too hot to stay.

    Come October / November, that is going to be the premier Sunday Funday joint in Houston.

    While riding around the countryside on Sunday August 15, I decided to visit the Merrimac ferry (which provides free transport across the Wisconsin River). At 9 a.m. as I was arriving, a group of four sport bikes were leaving the landing and the rider of the 2007 RWB gave me a wave. If I hadn’t been executing my turn I’d have reciprocated.

    The weather has been ghastly humid this past month. I've become a fair weather rider. :(

    The air on Sunday was a cool, dry 69 degrees.
