    Had a fun sighting last night. I saw a red 5th Gen leaving the shopping center at about 6:45 pm last night (10/2/08, Tucson) at Ina and Oracle. We ran a few errands in the truck and at the second errand saw the same bike parked at the Trader Joe's parking lot on Oracle. I left my biz card on it along with my VFRWorld name. I wondered if it was a member. Any takers?

    I'd only seen one fifth gen around where I live in Franklin county MA.
    A Yellow one. Unfortunately I saw it recently in the paper.
    The victim of a guard rail incident.
    It said the guy was treated and released but the VFR was DOA.
    Not far from where a young guy died on a speed triple this past spring.

    ^damn...

    Had my first sighting other than my one friend that rides a 4th gen. Was on my 5th gen staring at the light, you know making it change with mind power lol...and i hear some gear driven cam whine crossing past me...Look up to see a purty red 6th gen. Needless to say i stalked him for a minute and said hi at a red light. He was cool about it, nice guy. Saw him in newport, ky but he had ohio plates, doubt hes on here.

    Saw another VFR in Manhattan, KS today, this poor one was standing off of the bike talking to the kind police officer that pulled him over... red vfr, I think 4th or 5th gen (don't know much about the newer ones)

    There are a total of 4 or 5 different VFR's i've seen around, i'm surprised we don't have one hanging around here...

    Silver 6th gen in the Bay Area? Very well could have been our own SilverSurfer800. Kind of a big guy wearing gray and black?

    VFR Sighting

    I've been seeing a '07 RWB w/ bags, just like mine, parked at a auto body shop on 6th Ave in Tacoma, WA. Last week I decided to stop by and meet the bike's rider. His name is Glenn, and I gave him the address to this web site. Hope he visits.

    Yellow 5th gen and an old tricolour, at the Deep River Tim Horton's, today. That was the first time I've seen a live VFR older than a 6th gen.

    Also saw a red 6th gen with bags on the TransCanada Hiway 17 near Arnprior. I was in my turbocage.

    Red 6th Gen, Elizabeth City, NC, RT 17 on a draw bridge at 12:30 PM. Sept 27. Most likely not one of us because he wasn't wearing protective gear.
