The rain looks like it's here for the day at least.
After three dismal days to start the week with rain,snow and sleet mix we are having beautiful 70 and sunny. Leaves blowing everywhere! I’ll bet if I strung a net across my open 
garage door I could gather half the leaves in the neighborhood!

Same here, temps in the low 70s. We got what might be one of the last rides of the season in, around 50 miles around the lake with a friend from the old VOC chapter here in central NY.
Gorgeous day here in southwestern Quebec; 73* and not a cloud in the sky. Most leaves are down and what's left on the trees is brilliant yellow to deep red. No pics from today's ride, which was strictly utilitarian to pick up a tool from a friend's shop.
Weather related, but not today's... just got back from SW Florida post-Ian. Was there to do some damage assessment and control. For those of you affected by Ian like myself, I empathize. For those of you of you who have seen the images on various media, you cannot conceive what it looks like live. Some parts of the town I was in appear to have been hit by supernatural forces. Debris, both natural and manmade, was everywhere. It will take years before it looks normal again. Waterside restaurants that I dined in in April are simply not there anymore. Trees that are probably 100 years old (banyans) were uprooted and blown down the road a piece. A fifth-wheel trailer in the storage yard where I keep a boat was flipped over and completely blown apart, as if it exploded.
Disastrous, sad and unfortunate are far from adequate terms to describe the scale of the damage. For those of you affected, best wishes for your safety and recovery.

Still managing to use the RE Bullet most days.
Today was just an eight-mile loop through a nearby village.
The main hazards are wet road surfaces, farmers leaving mud, wet leaves and low Sun. But it's late October and the weather is mild so got to be done.

Good God, that looks like snow!!! A little early for that, no?
Beautiful shot, though!
I think it might just be sand, but I live in Florida soooo...
Of late, it has been comparatively mild for the time of year but today definitely a bit colder.
This afternoon, the authorities have issued a double weather warning Yellow for heavy rain and Amber for gale-force winds. Applies across the Borders, I think other parts of Eastern Scotland, also NE England.
These colour-coded weather warnings - I think Yellow means 'be aware', Amber means 'some risk of disruption' and Red means 'danger to life'. But for some reason a Yellow snow warning amuses my inner primary school child.

Going to be 70 today but of course winds 15mph gusting to 40mph
Lat time I was out the gusty winds pushed my shield of to one side a bit and popped out the bottom holder on the shield it self
No problem as I just heated the rubber socket and pushed it back in
But my neck got throttled around a bit but it's off to ride into the wind again ( could be the last ride ?)

Ah, Canadian weather:

Sadly the weather is as wet as ever in the South Wales region.
No chance of a late season ride out it seems.
Time to drain the carbs and top off the tank. Wax the paintwork and chrome; then snug down for the Winter.
Shame it's taken me over a year and no end of $$££ to finish the bike; and no chance to ride it.
Roll on the spring!

Kinda' like a fart joke?
WTF
3 days ago playing golf and sweating.
2 days ago riding my XS2 on a 50 smile ride
Today went to go on a beer run and some SOB had put a 1/2 inch of snow and ice on my trucks windshield!

Two days ago I was cruising around with the top down. This morning it's 34°.
