There are several in the St Pete area, and many more near by. I am North of St Pete by about 40 minutes. New Port Richey, FL.
When are you planning to visit? We ride less in the summer heat, but the fall and winter meets are worth doing.

Billyboy (Super Slab) lives in St. Pete, I'm in Seminole, nearby. Grumpy's across the Howard Franklin bridge to the East, Jaymi is nearby in Clearwater, Jerry & Sherry are across the Sunshine Skyway bridge to the South. Gil is just North a bit. Plenty more near by.

Just pay attention to the Florida section for ride information.
We are a pretty active group and most are willing to brave the heat for a good place to
ride, good company, and a decent meal.
You'll probably fit right in!

If you get bored and just want a Burger and see a bunch of bikes you may enjoy Biff Burgers. http://www.biffburgers.com/Tundra (Doug) might chime in with some good restaurant choices on/near the beach. It is hot now so stay hydrated while riding. Gil |

Pepmyster; Where are you staying while you are here, and how long will you be here? There's always a ride somewhere on the weekend. Just watch out for Pappy, he's the trouble maker. He-He  |

Welcome. Pz b careful riding here. THE WORST drivers of any state. One of every five has no insurance. Drink lotsa water!! Although I prefer to ride alone, I know of some of the eating destinations they/we ride to, these fellas are ok!! while ur here, if you listen to the radio; 88.5, 102.5 in Tampa and 104.1 out of orlando the 3-7 show is great. Peace...crow

If you moto over to South Tampa there a park called Ballast Point Park. It has a water side restaurant called Taste of Boston. Good place to eat with a view of the bay and Tampa skyline. http://tasteofbostonsouthtampa.com/ballast-point-park/ |

Thanks for the ideas! We wanted to go to the Keys, but, then we found out it was 7 hours away. Dammmm. That will remove 2 days from our vacation.

Pepmyster; If you want to go on a ride tomorrow (Sunday) i'll be going up to Brooksville
in the morning. Nice roads and hills and always a bike show at the Hess up there.
We can meet up in St. Pete and go from there. Maybe pick up a few more along the way.
Jayme you in for this one?
