The Urban Dictionary agrees with you, Larry:
"Beemer: Name for a motorcycle by the manufacturer BMW.
Often confused with bimmer, what is the name for cars by the same manufacturer."
I used to be a member of the Airhead Beemer Club:
http://www.airheads.org/
back when I had a 1983 R80RT. It was a group that in many ways
resembles the camaraderie of the PDML. Granted, we wouldn't have club
Canons, but here are theirs:
Club Canons
Airheads ride Beemers with air-cooled heads.
Airheads believe that the simplest engineering solutions are the best.
Airheads appreciate function over form, fact over fiction, and
friendship over friction.
Airheads regard money as a tool, not a status symbol.
Airheads are earthly people who like to camp.
Airheads maintain their own motorcycles.
Airheads don't take themselves, religion or life too seriously.
Airheads like to share time, knowledge, parts and camaraderie with
other Airheads
I thought the terms were interchangeable. I learned something new today...
I have to love a group where pedantry is actually appreciated.
Thanks!
