I replaced my motorcycle battery last week. It stopped holding a charge sometime this winter.
The amazing thing about this is that the battery was manufactured in 1997. That's right - ten years ago. It was the OEM YUASA YTX12-BS battery that was in the bike when I bought my Honda CBR1100XX new in 1998.

Every sportbike rider needs a front and rear motorcycle stand: one for the front forks, one for the swingarm.

Honda VFR 800 with Scorpion Exhaust - Jackson, California
I shot these photos in downtown Jackson, California a few months back. The VFR 800 was parked near a shop I was visiting, the tasty Scorpion exhaust system caught my eye.
So, I whipped out my camera, and shot a few close-ups just to test the camera and practice close-up photography. I hope you like the results.
Later, I heard the VFR start up, as the owner was preparing to leave - the Scorpions sounded very nice indeed.
