Are there any old school riders still on the forums? ( from the 04-05 time frame?)

 

Been a while, man. 2011 to be exact......You were working at Barneys
in Brandon.
Thanks for checking on us. Lots of changes....

There were once some buttheads in the car section, who when they could no longer drive people away from Tampa Racing, they started their own car site. The good news is they took their jerk buddies with them. On their way out the door they left links all over Tampa Racing promoting their website. By now I think I found and got rid of them all.

As of December 25 2015, they had not paid their bills, and their "latest and greatest, locally home grown" website appears to no longer exist.
Meanwhile Tampa Racing continues to show signs of great success.

BTW, this weekend at QSL, is the Full Throttle Biker Buildoff Invitational. Friday night Saturday and Sunday. Bring your camera. Awesome bikes will be there. You might see someone you remember. Maybe they will see you.

There will be a free Breakfast at Barneys on Gandy 9AM to noon, Saturday,
if you are in the Pinellas hood.

 

Recognize the music? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tYQ1Okyi3g4
Those were the days! Recognize the Bayside bridge?

 

Approximately 40 people of the buttheads who left and started their own website, are now silent readers of the Tampa Racing Forums and can continue to read silently. Drama is no longer appreciated or tolerated on Tampa Racing. Tampa Racing has National sponsors who are intolerant of cussing and other bad behavior next to an ad that will be seen by potential customers.

August 29 2015, Tampa Racing set a record of 2,668 people reading our forums at the same time.
740+ new members have joined Tampa Racing in the last year. When they left, the jerks said that my postings were "ruining the site". LOL If it can be said that I was the only one posting on Tampa Racing, then it has the appearance that my posting had something to do with setting the record....although the buttheads from some other site will say that it was me reading all 2,668 forums at the same time.....lol......when Tampa Racing has about 40 forums.

If you ever look for stuff to go to, click "calendar" at the top left of the page. I also post some bike events in the Bike Tech Forums.

 

Tampa Racing has a free sponsored Official Event: a beach concert every month and an Official Event Open Track Day on a road course and more recently an Official Event track attack full day event.
You also can get details about a one day road racing school for $75 per car.

Tampa Racing has a free breakfast car meet once per month on a Saturday. Tampa Racing has gourmet hot dogs and beer on another Saturday. (ID required)
Tampa Racing had free breakfasts every Tuesday back in August 2015.
Details about Tampa Racing events calendar are here: Local Events

Tampa Racing supports the 2,000+ car meet/show called Simply Clean, while HIN at Tampa Convention Center had 200 cars. Simply Clean event coverage is here: https://www.tamparacing.com/forums/ev...r-meeet-2.html

Hin was supposedly sponsored by the butthead car site as their "media outlet". I know a lot of people in the Tampa car scene, and to save them money, I posted the code to get them a discount on admission, and that sent $2 to either the butthead car site, or to the pockets of the butthead car site admin, REY for everyone using the code.

 

My sincere thanks to folks for making Tampa Racing the
premier car website in the Tampa car scene as well as in the state of Florida!
Thanks for telling all your friends too.

I also thank the people who send pictures to Tampa Racing of their garage.
There are now 5 Parts. Some of them had thousands of views. Click here: https://www.tamparacing.com/forums/ge...-garage-2.html

Not only are people local to Florida and the Tampa car scene,
but some are in other countries. Tampa Racing has a Global App........which
also works pretty good even if you are in the Tampa car scene!

Yep, that's right! I am now the Sales Manager at Euro Cycles, and loving it! We are going to have some bikes out at QS&L this weekend for the event, I will probably be out there on Sunday.

A lot has happened in the last 5 years lol. Do people still meet up for group rides?

 

Glad to see that you have moved up. Most of the people from years ago got jobs, had kids and
went legit. Euro cycles can have a free shop forum here: TR Shop Forums I've made this offer before but so far a couple Harley dealers are the only bike shops.
Orlando Harley has about 140 views so far.

No guarantees, but like passing out business cards, not everyone buys today. A "no" answer means
no for now. It does not mean no forever.

 

I went to your website. I started a shop forum if you want to post some things that you folks are doing, specials, events, whatever you want that will benefit the shop. I put up a link to the Euro Cycles website.

Saw that you sell Nortons, Ducatis and several others.
I used to ride a Ducati when I was in High school. They were fast back then and they did not get one bit slower! Here's a pic.

 

This was at Reeves Cars and Coffee on the first Saturday last month.
Is this you folks?
