Who We Are

George is the founder and principal of BUA.  After serving as a BMW Master Mechanic at several dealerships, he launched Beemers Uber Alles - now Gridlock Motors - to service the growing BMW enthusiast community around the metropolitan Washington D.C. area.  He is a contributor and member of the BMW Airhead community and the BMW Bikers of Metropolitan Washington.

Wes is a Renaissance man.  Marketer, editor, professor, and bike-breaker-downer, Wes does it all.  When he is not teaching history, managing social media floods, or sending out packages of parts, he is keeping Gridlock in order. Wes is the Digital Media Editor for the BMW Motorcycle Owners of America and is active with the Richmond BMW Riders and serves as a sounding board and consultant for many of the national motorcycle rallies.

Dale is our resident go-to tech for all matters Airheads, and he knows this generation of classic BMW motorcycles like no-one else in the region. Whether it's rebuilding a transmission or diagnosing an intermittent electrical issue, Dale is the wizard you want wrenching on your bike.

What We Do

We diagnose and fix BMW and Ural motorcycles.  We can prepare your classic airhead for the next vintage motorcycle event, set up your GS for your next off-road adventure, calibrate and tune your touring rig for crossing the continent, and much, much more.  We do it every day and we love it.

We sell used and refurbished motorcycle parts.  We primarily focus on BMW bits but occasionally stock parts for other European and metric bikes come our way. If you are starting a bike project let us know; we can make sure we keep the right parts on the shelf.

Whether your Isetta, Goggomobil or original Mini has been on the road since new or sitting in a barn for years, we can help you keep it on the road, get it back on the road, or just track down those elusive parts you've been pining for. Give us a call to start your microcar project right.

Our Customers Speak

** All the hoped-for kudos apply to this business - high quality, timely service at modest cost. However, what makes it unique is the service that goes beyond common expectations. --Evan G., Maryland

** I own, and have had Beemers Uber Alles service, both a modern bike (2009 R 1200 RT) and a classic (1976 R 75/6).  I have never been disappointed and often find myself appreciative of George's initiative in going beyond what I know to ask for in his effort to help me get the most out of my machines. Beemers Uber Alles is a local treasure and I recommend it unequivocally. --Paul R., Virginia
