Great Fall colours and the bikers add a secondary subject to the compositions. White balance seems to be spot on - we get to see the lead bike in the last shot has tungsten lights and the guy behind him has L.E.Ds. Way to spend an afternoon. Please stay well and keep on posting.

Plenty of "bikers"; but your images portray at least one motorcyclist.
As a founding member of what I believe was the first motorcycle
club to be sanctioned by a State High School... in the world (Parkdale High circa
1969), I feel qualified to claim that the phylum of
Motorcycle Owners has 3 main classes.
1. Motorcyclist
2. Bikie
3. Biker
A bikie, to a large degree, is a subset of motorcyclist.
A biker, to a large degree, is not a subset of motorcyclist.
Many motorcyclists are neither bikie or biker... and
are just Motorcyclists.
A Bikie is a Hells Angel, Coffin Cheater etc, they most definitely ride HD,
however may also ride sports bikes, dirt bikes et al too.
A Biker is an ersatz Bikie. This part of the phylum rides HD or a HD lookalike.
A Motorcyclist rides everything under the sun with 2 wheels and possibly
a 3 wheel "outfit" that has a side car.
Below: A True Motorcyclist... definitely not a biker and not a bikie... having
said that, one Friday night he threw a man off a moving train for
making an inappropriate comment to his sister:
