I'm extremely cautious about riding with other sportbikers... especially when I don't know them... so I've done it twice... both times ended with me taking the next exit while they wheelied/cut people off attracting the wrong kind of attention. I've ridden on about 5 occasions with a group of bikes that contained anything from cruisers to dual sports to big ass tourers. never had a hint of feeling nervous among them...

I guess I'm just stereotyping again here... but it just feel like the vast majority of the sportbikers I run into are just attention whores.
LI is the same way, chock full o squids. Fortunatley I have found a good group of guys that we ride with and organize stuff. But I have met up with guys in the past who would do wheelies and stupid shit on the pkwy so I would just mysteriously get lost and do my own thing.
