Been looking at doing my first trackday next year with a difference...

...instead of going to a UK track which let's face it, there's no guarantee of decent weather. I noticed that California Superbike School offer courses for $650 which includes use of their bike at Laguna Seca - at current exchange rate, that works out at a not so unreasonable £350.

Quite fancy the idea of going to California for my holiday next year and combining it with a trackday would be quite cool scratchchinsmile Sun...sea...and a trackday at one of the most iconic circuits in the world cloud9

Never been to Laguna Seca before, thought about going there to watch an AMA or MotoGP race but then I thought: if I'm coming all the way here, I've got to experience the circuit not just sitting on the sidelines.

Here's a link to the site which gives you a rough idea of next year's schedule:

Its an awesome place, have some fantastic memories, go, you will not regret it, first time through the corkscrew and you realise that Doohan, Rossi etc are truly Gods ....
