Today I see (still there) an unknown black R1150GS (MD tag# D08601) parked at my office where I usually park my GS. No MOA or BMWBMW decals. Also, yesterday I was coming back from a ride going east on River Rd by Travila at about 4pm, and two dark blue or black R1100 and R1150GS (not sure exactly) one of them 2up pulled into the road right in front of me, and didn't even acknowledged a fellow beemer or a rider for that matter, with no decals either on their bikes.

I tried to upload a photo, but I'm getting "Sorry, the board attachment quota has been reached" message.

OK, it wasn't exactly on the road, but who rode their silver R1200RT to the Fairfax Courthouse today? I saw it in the parking garage next to a cruiser at 5:00 tonight when I left, would have sucked riding home tonight in that lovely traffic.

Tuesday, Feb 21 at 4:30, heading South on I-95 heading towards Fredericksburg. Gray R1200GS Adventure (hexhead), nicely equipped with a full set of adventure boxes and tank bag. Rider had a blue Firstgear jacket and was ATGATT but wore combat boots instead of riding boots. He might have been heading towards Mortons but I lost track of him in traffic before the F'Burg exits. Sadly, I was in my truck. I'm back on the bike today.

Saw a Red R1200GS on the HOV lanes of 395 around 4:15pm. Rider had a grey stitch and I saw that stupid Prius car thing cut you off! I was on the regular lanes and saw it! I thought he/she was going to hit you - I was ready to slam on the breaks! Glad you were okay!
