Tampa FL and the Bay Area
« on: April 12, 2010, 06:44:31 PM »
Anyone in the Tampa Bay area looking to meet up for some rides and maybe some bike work together? (nothing like having other people who know about these bikes to help!) Just reply to this post here and I'll send out some contact info (facebook, aim, email etc) Hope some of you are around here!

I'm on the otehr side in Melbourne, when I get mine running, I might have to make the trip over and hang out, do some riding although that 2 hr drive of flat straight stuff might have me rode out, might be more beer drinking time by then...

I have freinds at McDill, and freinds over the bridge in St pete, havent' seen any of them since before I moved to Germany and that was about 6 years ago so I'm due for a trip over.

Waiting on  some parts I ordered for my bike, then I'll tag it, and get her on the road, will drive her "dirty" for a while but hopefully have it running good.

Well I have mine running now, but need to adjust teh carbs, and then tag it, but that should be soon, want to put a good hundred or so miles on her before i take off on a 2 hour drive to meet up, I'll let you know, oh i need to work out my seat situation as well before I take off, so might be a bit;-)

My company is based out of North Pinellas County.  I live in San Francisco but am out that way a few times a year.  No real places to ride that I have found, it is mostly cruiser country out there. I would be down to rent a bike next time I am out that way.

Ayrity,
I just moved down here - going to grad school and living near USF.  After getting my 350F going I was having some running problems before I moved (running rich...all cylinders not always firing).  As soon as I have some free time (going to be pretty busy with school) I am going to get back in there and try to figure the problem out.  Once I get it figured out Id love to ride sometime. 

Do you happen to know who is good for parts or service around here?  Im trying to do everything myself but Id like to know.
