Some of the sumac bushes on our road are turning a lovely colour.

Thanks for the positive comments!  What shot do you think makes the best picture for the calendar?  I'm biased and can find something not quite right in each of them.

Took a ride out to Western Mass today on the K2 road racer - Fall colours were good! I got stuck in the middle of a British classic car rally (~20 cars) as they sped along Rt 62 - those cars can shift!

Here they are as we part ways in Barre







Leaves were looking good





The stuffed people were out in force in lots of small towns






I had always wanted to stop in this cemetery which is along Rt 62









On fire!






A row of flaming trees



Nice mix






Great temps for Oct and nice quiet roads today :)

cheers
Andy

Thanks guys for the comments. Frankenstuff is the man who made it possible with the sidecovers and Knowsnothing did a great job polishing the bare tank for me (this was 2 yrs ago with no clear coat - just polish).

The K2 (810) was running great today as usual: the whole 170 mile trip was a breeze with the seat/bars combo. Really do enjoy this bike a lot - puts a smile on my face every time!

I was curious if you had two bikes that you swapped the tank and side covers on.  I remember seeing threads with your orange one and just assumed thats what you did.  Bike does look sweet.

Haven't been on in a while, been getting the bike ready to ride from Palm Beach to Barber Vintage Festival....did the Distinguished Gentleman's Ride on the 28th of Sept. also. We had 44 riders (in suits in the Florida 90 degree heat!) and rode from Miami up to Ft. Lauderdale and back to Miami. The guys hosting the ride, Old Soul Young Blood, had a video crew shoot the entire event, and here's a link to the video....
