Friday, I had to drive my truck to work and spotted an 1150RT stopped in the median of I95 in Fredericksburg. I was going to stop to see if he needed help, but I was also talking on my ham radio to some friends. One of them had passed the guy a few minutes earlier and checked on him and he said he was fine and not in need of assistance. He was sitting on the grass, on the phone when I passed.

Saw a grey 1200 GS in the 9th street tunnel going onto 395 South wearing black full face with BMW sticker on the back. I pulled in behind you on my Yellow GSA.

I didn't see anybody riding today, :emb: except my riding partner and a bunch of Hardly Able Too's. Where was everyone? You shoulda been out. It was a great day!

Orange 800GS going N on River Rd between Potomac and Poolesville as I headed South. Had a helmet cam and should have a good shot of me waving, as I came directly at him while passing a car.
