Got together with two different groups here in Portland over the weekend and hit the twisties, that's what I did to my bike. 
Also, pulled my first wheelie, so that was exciting. Traction control set at 2, 60 mph hard roll on in 3rd gear, and right about 9000rpm that front wheel just comes right up HAHAHAHAHA.
I'm wheelie challenged, so it was pretty exciting. Managed to set it down mostly gently and continue on my way.
My ass is sore (definitely need the comfort seat), and there's pretty much no more chicken strips on the tires. No road tax and no crashes. All in all, a successful weekend. I've had the bike for less than a month and already have 1250 miles on it. Can't wait for riding season to actually get here and get some nice weekends for a change.
