    Saw three today
    9am saw a 2000 on 129 heading south near Vogel State Park (I was heading north on my 2000). Had lunch with a guy named Bruce on a 2001 at the Tellico Bakery in Tellico Plains, TN. He's a member, but couldn't remember his handle ;~). Heading East on Highway 52 out of Chatsworth GA about 2pm I saw a red 5th gen heading the opposite direction. Don't think I've seen three VFRs in single ride ever...

    Just saw a 6th Gen on Easton Ave in Somerset making the u-turn into the Unclaimed freight parking lot a little after noon. I thought it was a dark blue one, but it was probably black... little hungover this morning so I can't be positive : )

    I was lucky enough to see more than a half a dozen VFRs at the Shady Valley Country Store today. Good examples of 4th, 5th, and 6th Gens. Even a Frankenviffer!

    I saw a red 6th Gen on Loop 1 in Austin, TX May 14 in the AM heading north. pulled in beside me in traffic, road with me for about 2-miles then ditched me. :p Also spotted a Black 2010 in my office parking garage on Steck and Mopac in Austin, TX. Anyone here???

    I just purchased a new Silver '08 that I am EXTREMELY happy with for the last 3 weeks. I'm pretty easy to spot with my red Mohawk on my helmet. :D

    Today on Regent Street I saw an '07 RWB in oncoming traffic - immediately followed by a red 5G. I think that was the same '07 that I saw in the same location on April 19th.

    I had another two-VFR day two weekends ago. I saw a red 6G in a group of sportsbikes stopped outside of Cross Plains, WI. That same day I saw a black 6G make a right turn off Old Military Road onto Mineral Point Road. I gave the rider a wave, but the rider was in the midst of his turn, so I didn't expect him to reciprocate . . .

    Myself and CBR600F4i were at C.J. Hummels Restaurant in Lenhartsville, PA this afternoon and saw a Red 6th Gen. pass by with a pack of sport bikes headed north on Rt. 143. Maybe you spotted our two Red 6th Gens parked out front??

    Saturday while riding I encountered an Italian Red 5G, leading a group of three sport bikes, as they pulled out of a filling station in Reedsburg, WI. No waves as we were both in the process of making turns.

    Sunday while riding I encountered an Italian Red 6G in Mount Horeb, WI. Big mutual brotherhood waves.
