Behind the Scenes at Laguna Seca Superbike Weekend
Lompoc, California, United States
By Andrew Kohn
As many of you know, both World Superbike and MotoAmerica are on a well deserved summer break until September. A few weeks ago, I had the chance to attend the most recent event for both series at Laguna Seca and I thought I'd share some of my favorite images with you. This should provide you with a road racing fix until the green flag drops again in September. I hope you enjoy!

Thanks! I didn't get to talk with Keanu at Laguna Seca, but I did chat with him at the Quail Motorcycle Gathering. He's the real deal when it comes to bikes and riding. Nice guy!
