There were a handful of guys who had some gray import bikes. Every so often one or two would show up to the local meet up. A few "displacement" guys would would give thier attention. In the end it came down to power talk. The typical answer more or less from the gray import guys was "im here to ride, not swap figures." And off they went, screaming like banshees into the night. They never stated anything about smack talk, or figures. Just that it's a different breed, style, machine, that you just can't understand, till you experience it.
One night a few of us went with them. We ended up at a Malibu Grand Prix, before closing, and did a few cart laps.. Jokingly one said " can I ride my bike on it?" Night manager was chill, and often stayed later for some "private party" shenanigans apparently from the conversation. " just don't wreck, or sue the company" the repli-racer RGV was WAY too much for the track. But it was a hoot watching. ( after hours, and no cars on the track)
