Having just moved back into California, and the warm weather finally upon us here in the San Francisco area, track days and Seca have been on my mind. So when Michael Czysz, Lead Instructor at the Skip Barber Superbike School (and of MotoCzysz fame) shot me an email asking me if I wanted to ride for two days around the fabled circuit and take Skip Barber's two-day superbike course, I of course took him up on the offer. With perfect 70°F weather, I made my way to the Californian coast, ready to take on The Corkscrew with the brand new 2010 KTM RC8 motorcycle and with the help of Skip Barber's instructors.]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.asphaltandrubber.com/reviews/skip-barber-superbike-school-laguna-seca/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>29</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Spend Your Next Track Day at the Slovakiaring</title><link>http://www.asphaltandrubber.com/banter/spend-track-day-slovakiaring/</link> <comments>http://www.asphaltandrubber.com/banter/spend-track-day-slovakiaring/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Thu, 05 Nov 2009 16:03:23 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Jenny Gun</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Banter]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Bratislava]]></category> <category><![CDATA[course]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Europe]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Slovakia]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Slovakiaring]]></category> <category><![CDATA[track]]></category> <category><![CDATA[track day]]></category> <category><![CDATA[vacation]]></category> <category><![CDATA[video]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.asphaltandrubber.com/?p=6213</guid> <description><![CDATA[Nothing beats the winter months off-season than planning your summer motorcycling adventures, so let us propose a summer excursion: head to Eastern Europe and ride the Slovakiaring.
