Default Anyone from St. Pete's/Tampa Area?


I know this probably isn't the best section for this topic but it's really the only one I follow. My job is probably going to relocate me to St. Petersburg. Anyone from around there? How are the cops down there? I heard that HWY 19 was voted the most dangerous road in america! Are there alot of good riding places?

Yup you would probably be right about US19. Bro I am from here and Shinobi36 is also from the area. Oh ya Hicktown is from Tampa. Of course there are plenty of places to ride and yes the cops can be dicks. But I have meet some really cool ones as well. You got the beach not to far away as well. So if they relocate you to here hit me up we will ride out.

So here's the dealie. I will be touching down in Tampa next Sunday. I will be down there for 2 months or so to see how I like it. If all goes well my job will move me down there after that. The crappy part is I wont have my bike! But my job is flying me home every other weekend to see my family. They also said I can fly them down once to see me while I am there so we will make it our first disney trip! I am going to be staying at the Hampton Inn & Suites in Downtown St. Pete's. How far of a drive is it from there to Disney?

Welcome to the sunshine state. you'll be here in June, and July. Prepare for the humidity, you are lucky enough to visit during SWAMP season. No, really it's great. year round riding, and lots to do. When you get here Mike, and I will have to take you some of the bike night spots like Quaker Steak (they showed it on Super Bikes on Speed last year). Let us know when you're here, and I'll PM you my phone #.

We will try to get Hicktown off work early enough to come hang out as well. Hey J can he borrow one of your bikes when he is down?
