hello all!

just wanted to say hello and introduce myself since i am new to this forum.  my name is anthony de marco, i live on long island (port jefferson), and i am 28.  i have been riding streetbikes since 1994, and dirtbikes since i was about 6.  i have owned an '86 nighthawk 650 (first bike), a 97 srad 600 (sold), a 2002 gsx-r 750 (stolen), and my curent ride is a 2003 gsx-r 1000.  i did the penguin road race school last year up at nhis, got my race license, and hope to start road racing either this year or next year, depending on the finances.  my 03 1k serves as both a street bike as well as a track bike, that is until i can afford to get another bike strictly for the track.

to the sportrider guys, thanks for a great magazine!  

Welcome to the fold Anthony. I hope your racing plans materialize on schedule. So, where does one enjoy a 1k GXR in your neck of the woods?  

finding good roads here on long island isn't as hard as you might think it would be.  i spent a lot of my earlier years here finding which roads are good and at what times to avoid traffic, so i have a pretty good route that takes most of a sunday morning/afternoon.  we have a great group of riders out here that are pretty fast who have been riding together for some time now, so i am trying to get more people involved in track time aside from me.  

Welcome to the board.  Sometimes it is a little quiet around here...

yeah, thats okay since i also post over on gixxer.com pretty frequently.  

gixxer.com

I go there when I need a good laugh.    Definitely some hard core Suzuki fans there.

yeah, some of the guys over there are a little overzealous.  i mostly post in the 1k section and in the northeast forum, and i try to stay away from the other threads.
