The Monterey Peninsula is the home to a race course that holds the US round of the World Superbike (SBK) Championship. This year it was held in July and as I was on a business trip in that neck of the woods, I dropped in.

Early morning mist is common, turning up at 7am guaranteed the condition.

I soon found some pretty outrageous sights, if your into motorcycles that is, this one being a highly modified Suzuki Hayabusa

With the sun up and the racing commencing, things looked altogether different

Altogether different...

At the center of the track was the Ducati Island. Being rabid Ducatisti at this time a wander down was inevitable.

I was also on the look out for ideas for the wifes Monster and came across several.
