Yellow GS, red jacket, clamshell helmet and jeans on the news this morning. News 4 was running an article about a laundry in falls church that closed down and the GS rode by. Hey, your famous now. Who was it?

I can tell summer is over when I see more Beemers on a weekend ride than I see Harleys! I saw so many this morning, I lost count, but here are the ones I remember:

Tan R1150 heading east on Rt 55

White F800GS with a non-beemer on Mt Carmel Rd/Frogtown Rd

Silver 1200GS with a white helmet eating some Q in Aldie

Silver 1200GS heading west on Rt 50

Red 1200GS heading west on Rt 50

Yellow 1200 GS heading west of Rt 50.

Ah- cool. Say, was it just me - or were the cagers particularly INSANE that day?

Saw an R1150GS on Davis Ford road this afternoon around 16:20, I think it was white and blue, but I stopped looking at the bike so closely when I realized it was being piloted by a rather tall lady with long brown hair. You go GS ladies!

Today at 2:50pm I saw a grey/black 1200GSA going north on 270 just north of 80. I was coming back from Williamsport on the opposite lane, and even though it was raining and traffic was bad, I envied him being on his motorcycle while I was trapped in a cage...

You must have been the group of riders I passed. It was a heck of a nice day for a ride...

Wednesday around 545pm, saw blue/white 1100gs heading north on i-83, just before Shawan Rd. I was heading south in the cage.

I had fun keeping up with a blue R1200RT today around 6:00PM in the southbound HOV lanes on I-395.

Another fall Sunday ride out Snickersville Turnpike and back on 50/55/29; another day of too many BMWs to keep track of.

As I was turning left onto I-66 in Centreville, I did see two BMWs go by that looked familiar from BMWBMW events. The one in front was (I think) a yellow rockster, and the one following was a woman on a silver 650 in a silver jacket and yellow helmet. I know I've met them at at least one BMWBMW event, but for the life of me, I can't pull their names out of my head...

Saw a yellow R1200GS with a camel sticker on it. BMWBMW club, MOA, and ADV stickers on it - parked in townhomes across from Montgomery mall in Bethesda. I think that's the right name of the mall??
