So the question must be: are you following them, =D> or are they following you [-X :?:

Last night (Thursday) riding South on I95 between Stafford and Fredericksburg: Late model 1200GSA in gray. African/American guy was in the left median making a call on his cell phone. Shortly after that, I came upon a black R1150RT with factory bags also heading South.

This morning riding North from Fredericksburg to Stafford on I95: Blue R1100RT with factory bags. Rider had hi-viz jacket, but dress slacks and shoes and his ankles looked very cold and bare.

Saw a nice couple near Lake Anna on Saturday. Wife was on a R1150R in silver and husband on a black R1200CLC. Stopped at an intersecion and chatted for a bit. They live near the lake and I'm not sure if they are members here. Full BMW gear ATGATT.

Red K bike of unknown year--not a current model that's for sure--on Selkirk Road approaching Elgin Lane in Bethesda, about 1 p.m. I'm going to guess--based on a photo I saw--that it was a K1300S. Whoever you are, I live nearby. =D> Maybe we can get together?
