is the motorcycle culture very active there?
or maybe one hardly sees them?
bodies of water seem to attract motorcycles for nearby parking though. is there a certain area where motorcycles to to park in masses during the summer?
is it true that the summers are really restricted down to 3 months only, of people making good use of warm weather? i think i read something like that in multiple threads here with people debating over qualities

i have a sportbike and i am hoping to get much use out of it there. do you see bike clubs riding in the city much? or maybe there are certain twisty roads that are known for good sportbike usage locally?

on motorless note, how seriously do they take critical mass there?!?!?!? is it every week rain or shine year around? how many bikes do you typically see? are motorists pissed off? how does the local law enforcement deal with it?

TIA

I think it's pretty big. Every summer/spring/most fall days where I live (Gold Coast), I see bikes every day. It's impossible not to see one in this area funny enough. A bunch of them meet in the Viagra Triangle actually and "be seen" almost along with the other guys and their Lambos, Ferraris, etc. I don't think anybody "cares" if you have a bike unless you live in a pretty residential area and your bike is extremely loud and your neighbors get pissed about it.
