And every chance I get, when I do chat with someone new I try to enlighten them, and let them know there is more than just a drag strip, and our bikes were built to be handled and not just sat upon.

Truth! I mean in all honesty, we are all products of our environments to an extent. Every stupid thing that you do or have done was learned behavior. If you drink, it's because people around you do. If you smoke it's because people around you do. If you smoke dope... etc. If someone doesn't teach you better than how will you ever stop, at least until you kill yourself that is.
