since your working with CJ I'll guess that your in Hotlanta...right?
I think the sportbike culture of where you live depends a lot on the environment.
where I live there are nice twisty country roads with no traffic or cops very close by....so you can get your kicks and thrills easily
in a big city like hotlanta the riders feel cramped and the only place to get some adrenaline is to speed on the highway
then again ever since the F&F movies and biker boyz upping the popularity of sport bikes more and more punk kids are buying bikes.
there used to always be a sunday group ride in my area...now they have a stunting practice session instead
