I live in Mountain View, AR. My dad made the run to his uncles place an hour or so from OKC in like six hours I think. I agree, sport bikes are for kids that think speed is all that matters, and the older crowd that still has a screw loose and wants to go way too fast lol. My ex-stepdad is one of them., Love him to death, but he's crazy.
