1998 CBR1100XX At Mt. Zion - Head shot

Here's a photo of my '98 'Bird sitting up near the fire tower. It's a great lookout spot with a nice view of the Sacramento valley area.

I really like the low front profile of the 'Bird, even though it means that it provides almost no wind protection... unless I'm in a tuck.

1998 CBR1100XX At Mt. Zion

Here's a photo of my '98 'Bird sitting up near the fire tower. It's a great lookout spot with a nice view of the Sacramento valley area.

I really like the lighting on this photo. Even though it's a bit overexposed, the bright background lighting makes for a nice contrast, the bike really stands out.

Ride Report - Salinas River Road Ride

Heading out of Salinas California on Highway 68 towards Monterey you will see the sign for Reservation / River Road. Reservation Road goes north into Marina and Highway 1 and River Road heads South along the hills into the Salinas valley between the farm land and the Monetrey County wine country.

River Road is a relaxing ride for motorcycle riders of all skill levels. Normally the ride starts with cool temperatures in Salinas and will get hotter the farther south you go.

Victorian House

Victorian "fixer": Victorian located off River Road on Foothill Road. There has been some cleanup done to this old house however it does not look like anything has been done for a couple of years.

This Victorian house is patiently waiting to be returned to its former glory. This house is located in the Monterey County Wine country. San Saba winery has a new tasting room at the corner of River Road and Foothill Road, this Victorian is just up the street.
