The GF (aka Jenny) and I spent the weekend up at Monterey/ Laguna Seca for the World SBK races.  Spent some time walking the pits, checking out the manufacturers/vendors areas, and hiking up to the Corkscrew. Good time and some great racing.  Monterey is a beautiful place to visit and seeing all the bikes on Cannery Row on Saturday night was very cool.  A few pics...

The Corkscrew (in panoramic).

KTM's Factory Racing RC Cup bike....No KTM display in the manf/vendor area.  WTH?

Chaz Davies and Davide G. after their podium finish...Much more access to racers than MotoGP.

Crashed 600 at Course Control.  The racing team mechanic was claiming the bike and yelling at Course Control for leaving parts out on the track.  "Where's my f'in fairings!"

I haven't been up there since maybe 2000 or so?  Gotta make it back, always a good time at LS.  Nice pictures!

Good stuff. That's some serious bike porn there.

Wow, that custom Ducati scrambler is just SICK! What motor is that with the external cam chains?

The Scrambler is an 800.  They removed the stock covers to expose the belts. Looks cool.

Ducati Pantah tradition, it's basically still one of these after all these years.
