The cobalt blue sky was a perfect compliment to the crimson and copper-gold of the autumn leaves, and the sunlight slanted down at a perfect angle on the glinting chrome.

The early morning cool was slowly fading to warm and there is no better time of year for a leather jacket and a throbbing motorcycle engine.
