    Sighted in Midtown ATL, Tuesday, June 25

    Walking down Fifth Street and into the Georgia Tech hotel for lunch. North Dakota license plate and a Beta off-road t-shirt: Was this you?

    Thank you, DesignFlaw06!

    Some of you may know that my topbox has an “organizer” in it. I've enclosed the term in quotation marks because it’s a really homemade thing, created out of cut-up SlimJim boxes and duct tape. It holds wallet, house keys, pens, aspirin and ibuprofen, miniature LED flashlight, air pressure...

    Giff's turned a little older ...

    ... but it's hard to tell with the miles he racks up as a "retired" guy. Best of luck in ToH 2019, brother!

    Happy Birthday!

    Probably a day late (or maybe two?) ... but Happy Birthday to 0face -- who don't come 'round here no more. A man who has no problems calling himself a zero. Who's organizing the next NAFO meeting?

    Curtiss Zeus electric motorcycles

    Well, looks like somebody's been designing motorbikes as pieces of art, completely disregarding things like handling and rider comfort. Still, pretty spectacular looking machines: https://www.curtissmotorcycles.com/zeus

    Last Ride of the Year -- Stagecoach 2018

    December 30 29, Stagecoach Cafe, Stockton, AL. Usually December 30. Can't seem to find anything official. (Is there ever anything official?) Best Google find was an announcement from Palmetto BMW Riders. I'll be there barring simultaneous rain and cold. No, I don't do Streets, because I...

    Yamaha NIKEN

    OK, so I was looking on the official Yamaha USA website hoping (dreaming) of a 900cc-range Super Ten, and came across this ... in the SPORT TOURING list of bikes! https://www.yamahamotorsports.com/sport-touring/pages/ride-the-revolution Three other links...

    Was that you at the Georgia Tech tailgate tent at Russ Chandler?

    Yes, it was Shagomatic. Rode my bike to the game (beat Pitt 35-17) and a guy walked up to me as I was saddling up to ride home. "I've got an FJR, too." Nice to meet you, sir. And nice to know other folks here take their football seriously. See you at SFO?

    2 Sightings in Cobb County, GA

    First one: Friday, August 25, Macland Road at West Sandtown Road. Don't remember the color ... grey maybe? Second one: Tuesday, August 29, same general area. This FJR was blue, and had the bags removed. Anybody here? (I assume it was NOT you, SacramentoMike.)

    I saw you on Monday: US 441, southbound, just south of Fairmount, GA

    Red, 2014 FJR, rider in full gear with full-face hat (you have earned brownie points). Didn't catch license plate, as I was northbound, headed to Jack's River Falls. Monday, May 29, about 11:00 am. Somebody here?

    Funny YouTube video

    The guy's name is Yammie Noob, and he started a series of these funny stereotyping videos ... I'm thinking a lot of us fit into #3 or #4.

    Sighting: May 16, 7 pm, I-75 SB north of the Perimeter

    You were on a silver (2013?) FJR with yellow-tinted headlights and Real Time's reflective decals. Caught you around Delk Road, in the middle of the 'managed lanes' construction. You may have exited at Windy Hill. I was on the Liquid Graphite 2015, yellow helmet, Navy blue Yamaha ventilated...

    Riding through Atlanta this summer? Think about it again.

    If you were routing through Atlanta to get to EOM or SFO, check your plans carefully. As you probably heard, we had a bridge collapse yesterday during rush hour: https://www.cnn.com/2017/03/31/us/atlant ... index.html A section of the I-85 viaduct, near its junction with I-75 and GA 400...
