It's good to hear that folks are still enjoying their bikes bikes half way through October and a good spread of Monsters too by the sound of it.

I had a little local ride in Norfolk yesterday and it was a stark and sudden contrast to the dry and warm weather we seem to have had for months on end.
8degrees recorded on the dash, creeping up to 11 for a few miles in the mid afternoon.
New heated socks doing a great job on their first outing, with setting 2 of 3 proving comfortable. I had the heated grips on too.
I didn't spot any other motorcycles!
Unfortunately the drizzle eventually wetted the roads and me so I sheltered under a hedge for a bit while it cleared and the roads did dry out a bit in places.
Good to warm up with some relatives and also catch up with Emzedder.
Coastal showers eventually forced the waterproofs on, but they were very local and the rest of the ride home was dry after only a few miles inland.

Worst meteorology was caused by the low Sun on the homeward leg completely blinding me at times and forcing the speed right down!

Still great to be in the saddle and hardening off for the months ahead.
The first frost appeared this morning, but we've done so well to get to the middle of October.

Ride free.
