Default A new gixxer owner (introducing myself)

Hello you all!
I'm Janis, I live in Rome (Italy) and I've just bought a GSXR 600 (black and orange for the curious ones ).
Before I even start the break-in (tomorrow at 8.30 am...how nervous am I!), I've been looking for a suzuki forum so that I can ask some advise and/or share my experience...and here I am!

I've been riding for almost three years now, starting with a 1990 cbr600 that I destroyed in an accident, then (after a week!) I've bought a 1998 cbr which is still alive, and now I'm selling it because I've fallen in love with that little wild animal called gixxer during a test ride

I prefere track riding for many reasons...can't really drive fast on the roads because it's too dangerous (I know it at my own expenses), and I don't like to travel with my bike (ya know...air conditioning adicted ehehe). On the other hand I've always liked and watched races...so...I started last year to partecipate to track days and other track events.
I've been to Mugello, Misano, Vallelunga, Rijeka, Valencia and many others Italian and European tracks.
I wonder if there are others race lovers here.

Humm that's a pretty long introduction, sorry guys!

ciao, Janis
