We present first results from the analysis of multi-epoch VLBI observations of 241 sources in the CJ-F sample (Caltech Jodrell-Flat-spectrum, Taylor et al. 1996). We have been obtaining 5 GHz VLBI (global and VLBA) snapshot observations of the CJ-F sources (complete with 293 sources) since 1990 in order to create a valid database for thorough statistical tests of pc-scale jet motion in AGN. All 241 CJ-F AGN have been observed at least three times with the VLBA, which enables us to investigate jet component motions and paths. In particular, we concentrate on the analysis of those properties supposed to be essential for gamma-ray production, i.e., superluminal motion and bending.
