That was likely me & Kermit.

The rig reminded me of Kermit's rig but I did not get a really good look. Cool that I spotted a couple of club members. :D

I usually see a black R1200 and a yellow BMW bike (not sure what model, but will stop and look next time) parked at the Coast Guard HQ building.

Airpark Road; 10AM Saturday. A re-joining member, Henry (never got his last name). He was taking a test ride prior to delivery of a new grey R1200RS (one of the first sales of this bike model).

I spy with my little eye - around 5:00 PM on west bound Rt. 100 in AA County a pretty light blue, I believe a K bike. You pulled over under an overpass and we saw, so we pulled over on the right and you gave us a wave that you were OK, so we moved on. GRB and I were in our RAV4, we beeped and you saw our BMWBMW sticker and thumbed us back. :)

So it wasn't you then? hmmmm I spotted the BMWBMW sticker immediately and screamed at the hubs "who is that - he's our club member!" Said rider saw my sticker on the RAV4 when the hubs beeped at him as I waved like a complete lunatic, or a Tigger, if you will (yes, you can bounce while seated in a car). Thankfully he was driving, I find it hard to bounce when driving a 5 speed manual. I love spotting people! :D

JVB spotted on 395 around 2:30 this afternoon, near the Seminary exit. Sorry I didn't return the wave. Hands busy with the stop'n'go traffic.

Rode next/behind a black RT on route 70 around 8pm, Friday July 9th. RT took the Hagerstown exit. I was riding the yellow/black F800GSA headed towards Toronto.

Those extreme-sports kids today are good, but they have it easy. Try falling off of a motorcycle going 70 or 80 miles per hour on asphalt. Believe me, nothing equals it.

Sunday July 19th around Poolesville, MD - I spotted a group of four RTs of different years ahead of me, and at least one of them had a BMWBMW club decal. I was on the "wrong" brand bike and rode behind them for a few miles just to get these photos:

Not owning a BMW at the moment, but I do wear the BMWBMW decal proudly on my "other" bike :-)
