How about the transit of Venus in june of 2004?
Ooohh... That sounds cool. Would I be able to see it with binocs? (I have welders glass over them of course.) I'll have to compare it to Sunspot sizes, NASA's always giving the comps like equal to 6 Earth diameters. It will be pretty small, but moving noticiably.
Here is some media from the November 15th 1999 transit of Mercury for comparison:
