    Hi...I have recently moved to the Largo/Clearwater Florida area and am interested in meeting new people..I own my own bike but have not brought it down here yet from Kentucky..missing my steel horse real bad!!!Also missing my scooter brothers & sisters back home!!!Not real sure where to go to meet folks..I hear the Porpoise Pub is a pretty good place to go meet riders but haven't made it there yet..Have been to a ralley at Quaker Steak & Lube last month sponsored by Full Throttle Magazine which was wonderful..felt like I was home!! At any rate any & all ideas on how I can meet people that share the fabulous world of being in the wind as I do is truly welcomed!!! Thanks & Have a great day!!! Bo

    Hi & Welcome. Wish I could be some help but I lived in FL 35 years ago and it was on the east side. I have never been to the Porpoise Pub, but I have seen several events listed in our calendar that take place or stop there.

    Go get your motorcycle. Some how biker spots are easier to find when you're riding

    Again, welcome and enjoy the site.

    Greetings from near the center of our Sunshine State and welcome to CF. If you're looking to meet fellow riders, one organization you might wanna check out would be the Florida West Coast Riders or maybe a local ABATE chapter.
    Plus, the Leesburg Bike Fest is coming up at the end of this month. Its one you won't wanna miss .. even if you don't have your scoot down here yet. You can also put the word out that you'd like to meet up with other CF members who are going. I'm thinking on going but I don't know my work schedule yet so its hard to say when my wife and I would be there.

    LadyLikesToRide , Welcome to Florida, and especially to Largo/Clearwater area. There is so much going on sometimes its hard to remember. Screwie Louies is a good place,SUnday Mornings he has a $5 breakfast includes any drink of your choice, and then we take off an go for a ride. Quaker Steak and Lube, Wednesday nites, Biff Burger on US 19 aka 34th St in St Pete Wed/Sat nite, and now the St Pete Pier has started a bike nite on Wednesday nites, (only a week ago they started with 600+ bikes). If you pick up a Full Throttle Magazine at QSL or anywhere, it will show you the meeting places. Need to get your horse here !! But there is always an open seat somewhere if you dont mind tanning ! As you can see in my pic, (im in green) I hang with the Full Throttle crowd alot. There is so many biker friendly places, Boilermakers, East Bay Drive, Largo, and Clearwater. If you want PM me and add me as a friend and we can chat. Rick
