Great pic Jonathan, and yes, it was freezing today. 24F outside here right now.
Weren't you proud to be the sole Beemerologist in a sea of Hogjockeys?
But, where were your fellow TVR boys? Fritz said a handful nearly froze riding to breakfast this morning too, with temps in the mid-20s and a wind chill of 16.
The rest must have been laid up in their warm, cozy cribs, not that I blame them... ;)

Hank was there, although I think he arrived right before departure. He was on his R100 with sidecar for his granddaughter. There was also an R1200RT, who we met and pushed to come out to some TVR events. So 3 beemers with 2 being airheads. All the other airheads must have spent the morning just trying to get started.
I think the stat I saw for breakfast yesterday (which would have been a 40 minute ride each way for me) was eight diners and three bikes. Not sure if all of the diners were doubled up for warmth or if there were several cages ovens in attendance.

Good on ya JH for representin' the Airheads. Where was that event- Roanoke? It still surprises me how few Airheads there seems to be in the Valley. Your bike is really looking good!

Yes, the ride was through Salem, Roanoke, Vinton, and Roanoke County.
There are actually quite a few airheads here that I know personally, and at least once a week I'll see one I don't recognize.
