    Spotted a black VFR riding two up with black bags yesterday evening heading north on River Road in front of The Swan restaurant. I was dining inside with my wife and our RWB was standing guard amongst a heard of V2s. A member here maybe??

    You were dining at The Swan? Sounds a little foo-foo. No doubt you had your pinky in the air as you sipped your tea. :)

    Parked out the front of my place today, a yellow 5th gen. Introduced myself to the owner. Not in bad condition, bit of elbow grease & it would look spick.

    You're probably seeing shots from TMAC. It's a pretty big VFRD rally in rememberence of a fallen rider.

    A few nice VFR's at Road America on Saturday 6/1. Had a brief conversation with a guy on another 07' RWB. I think his name was "Red" and he was from Sheboygan, WI

    Saw a VFR (5th gen I think) yesterday evening around 7:30pm parked at University of Michigan Hospital in the small lot on the east side by the main entrance next to the Arb. No pic though since I was driving.

    Saw a gen 6 at the Belknap Mall. It's Clown week (Laconia Motorcycle week) here in central NH and many thousands of bikes ( about 90% or more of American noise machines) and I've only seen one VFR.
    Clown week morphed from the races that used to take place at Bryer Motorsport Park ( track designed just for bikes) that were sanctioned and all the factory teams used to race. Dick Mann, Freddie Spencer, Mike Baldwin, Wayne Rainey, Kevin Schwantz, Adamo, etc all the big names. Now upcoming this weekend is just privateers and about , maybe, one thousand spectators show up to play on a "track" that is the smallest NASCAR oval (1.1m) with a bit of the old course added in back.
    The powers that be decided that a week of Harleys brings in more monies than a three day weekend of real racing. :der:
    One thing is certain, that it brings in a LOT more noise. :chaingun:
