YUASA Motorcycle Battery

YUASA Motorcycle Battery. As I mentioned in The Amazing Ten-Year Motorcycle Battery, the YUASA YTX12-BS OEM battery in my '98 Honda CBR1100XX Blackbird lasted twice as long as I expected.

Unbelievable Day in the Hills

Had a meeting in Capitola this morning so I rode down to get through some of the bad traffic areas on 880 and 17. After the meeting I rode up Hwy 9. I started to get that sinking feeling, because there were several areas of one lane traffic and road work.

Canon S80 on SportBikeCam Mount: Photo of Hwy 35 (Skyline) going North from HWY 9. I'll experiment with the zoom to narrow the field of view.

Once I got through Boulder Creek an unbelievable thing happened - there was not a single vehicle in front of me the entire way up to Hwy 35. I stopped at Four Corners for a few minutes and then decided to ride up to Skywood Trading Post for a sandwich. Again there was not one vehicle on the road in front of me.

I also had a chance to try out my Canon S80 digital camera on my SportBikeCam camera mount. Here's one of the photos from Hwy 35 (Skyline Drive).

Mid week riding ROCKS! I'll have to ride to more offsite meetings soon.
