Default Tampa Bikefest

Anyone else go to the Tampa Bikefest this past weekend? and your thoughts.

I went with members of my MC and to be honest i was not impressed whatsoever. I've seen more vendors and activities at the local bike nights. After walking around for 20 minutes everything started to look the same and the bikes were all the same bikes I see at every show. Russel Mitchel and Chica were there- woopdeedoo (Although Chica is pretty cool "I have vision" lol)

Just curious if anyone else in my area (TampaBay) went and what you guys thought.

Oh and where the hell were the chics? it was a freakin meat market.[:'(]
I'm getting to the point where I'm not going to go to these stupid shows and just stick to local bike nights and big events like Daytona,etc.

My wife and I went. Was not worth the $15.00 each. I went last night to the Quaker Stake and Lube bike night in Clearwater. There were better bikes and people. I won't waste my time anymore with the Tampa bike show. I won't miss Bike Week at Daytona or Biketober fest again. Went to my first this month. Only went for the day but had a great time.

Plant City will be good sat night with this weather we're havin. Been out every nite this week. Love springtime in cental fl.

I moved from Tampa to Germany (Military Wife) last August so I didn't go this year but I did the last couple and never was very impressed. Bike night's around the bay area are more fun in my opinion. Michael

I went on Saturday and was less than impressed myself. Heck, the Leesburg Bikefest beats that one all to pieces and does not cost anything!!! Quaker Steak and Lube is one of my favorite local bike nights.

makes me glad I opted for a ride to Sugarloaf Mt. (hill) Saturday and decided to hang at home Sunday, it's always nice to find out you didn't miss anything. So where are all you Tampa Bay folks from, I live in Odessa and travel tons for work so my riding is usually weekends with the local HOG Chapter and afternoon or evening quick calming rides.
