Rode about 150 miles here in Michigan yesterday with 2 friends. One on an Ultra the other a Honda Shadow.. Weather was excellent and the colors were great. @ of us have no jobs the other is retired and we saw more bikes yesterday than weve seen in quite some time. Did everyone else call in ?

I sat at home and listened to all the bikes out enjoying the fall weather. I dropped my bike off at the dealer last week for a bump up to 95". I'll get it back and the rain snow will be here for good.

Perfect riding weather in northern Ohio yesterday (rode about 100 miles) and today is supposed to be about 60-65. Great weather and am riding about 40 miles to help son with some work around his house. Good day to be out and about!

We have had a few bonus days here in N.E. Ohio and my buddy and I managed to get in about 300 miles (we are both retired). Leaves are about 50% down.

Would love to call in and ride but the weather in SouthDakota isn't in my favor right nowťrainy and drizzle with temps in the 30s to 40s.
Enjoy your beautiful weather while you can!
