Hello All,
I was born in Imola, Italy, more than 40 years ago, in a family of motorcycle mechanics and dealers. I have been riding bikes and watching races since I was a child.
I work as a technical writer and translator, live in Tuscany now, and never miss a race.
I'm happy to have found this forum, and hope to enjoy it with all of you.
Ciao!

Mostly computer-related stuff, but also automotive (like FIAT or Alfa Romeo technical documentation for example).

Yes, I do follow F1 and Superbikes, and watch international football games and the occasional boxing or kick-boxing match.

Ferrari, like Ducati, is in the same region where I was born, (75 and 45 kms from Imola respectively), so it's kind of a home feeling... But I used to like Lotus as well once.

When Senna was driving there?? (or not)
I like the 85 lotus, looks very beautiful imo.

How long have you been watching F1 and moto?

All your life???

Even when you were a little baby???

You're lucky to have seen Senna race. I never saw him when he was alive, unfortunately
