Darrenk Posted May 18, 2020 Posted May 18, 2020 Wife and I went out for a short ride yesterday. We were headed north on U.S. Route 1 (Two Notch Road) near Pontiac in NE Columbia. A solo rider on a red VFR1200 with side bags passed us headed south. I waved, then realized it was another 7th gen, but the wife wouldn't let me turn around and chase you down... Quote

Haha, true, but every once in a while it does happen. About seven or eight years ago I saw you, Gloryracing, heading east on 14 out of Big Flat, with your significant other on pillion (and with Push Mtn. Road on your mind no doubt). Heading west, my head snapped around as I waved. I couldn't believe my eyes, two red 7th gens in NE Arkansas! Quote

TimC Posted May 19, 2020 Posted May 19, 2020 I don't know that I've seen a 7th gen on the road, other than at a VFRD organized ride. I don't see them often for sale at local dealers either, but there is one for sale at a nearby shop. Yes, I did consider buying it, but it's not for me. The huge motorcycle shop in Westerville, OH, has one right now, too. Quote

Spring and fall we usually just park on Push at the stop sign. Funny but I do vaguely remember the brief passing....tis very rare indeed. 1 Quote
brainwashed Posted May 29, 2020 Posted May 29, 2020 Funny, after I bought my 7th gen just saw noticed another one that was always parked, less than one km away from where I live. I always thought it was strange bike looking at it from far away. This is Germany however, not sure how many of these units are on the streets. Other than the one parked near the corner, I don't remember seeing one in the flesh. Quote
