I gave you an hour on your meter. It was expired.


That's the way to pay it forward! Nice job! =D>

Might have been me. Outer or Inner loop?

I was on the outer loop, the other was on the inner loop.


That would be me headed to work.

This evening (Friday), 3 GS's heading south from St. Charles to La Plata, MD on the St. Charles parkway. Beautiful evening for a ride.

A Maroon R11x0RT, traveling north on 14th St. SW, at the intersection with Independence Ave, in Washington DC. Nice color. Couldn't tell if it was an 1100 or 1150 because I didn't see the front fairing, only caught a glimpse from the side. Saddlebags mounted... It is the first RT I have seen while working in Washington DC for the last two years that was not a 1200RT...

Depends on which mall you're talking about :)



It was Avners bike. I stopped and put a "call sign" on it when I saw it again. I think he kept it on there for a while.

I think the correct name is "Westfield Montgomery Mall". But anyone who's been around here for more than 3 minutes, knows it as "Montgomery Mall". :D

On my commute into work this morning, a light blue G650GS merged onto I-95 North at the 130 mile marker (Route 3 in Fredericksburg). Rider had a Shuberth C3 helmet and Morton's BMW tag bracket. He was riding in a pretty spirited manner on Northbound traffic. I made it past him at one point and got some lucky breaks and lost track of him around Stafford.

Do you head up Rt10? I keep seeing a BMW headed northbound around 5:45am.

A plethora out today, I should have taken the GT, followed a white K16GT on Lime Kiln Rd for a bit, saw an S in Middleburg, an RT on Halfway Rd, a couple GSs as well. Life was good today.

I go up Route 10. But the Bike you probably see is an RTP with lots of lights. The Guy goes up 10 to Beltway then 295 and parks in a Garage near Baltimore and Howard. See him all the time.

I keep seeing one bike with alluminum paniers and another with what looks like 4 aux lights in front. I saw the one with the four aux lights on friday morning around 6am heading toward the I95 north exit from inner loop of I695.
I prefer rt10 over 97.
Safe ride to both...it gets crazy around there in the am.

I saw two different R1200RT bikes yesterday. Both silver or gray in color.

One in DC at the intersection of 14th St. SW and C St. near the Department of Agriculture, rider wearing a grey jacket and silver helmet.

The other just outside of the city of Winchester, on Rt. 522 headed south into the city... the rider of that one waved back... :D
