  • New Member in Tarpon Springs, Florida

    This Forum has the look of a great place for Vulcan riders to keep in touch and exchange ideas and so on!

    I look forward to joining a riding group or starting one here on the West Coast of Florida. Several of us in this area were on another forum and couldn't make it happen.

    I ride a Classic 1500. I'm on the senior side of my riding years and the 1500 is a great bike for its ease of handling, plenty of power to get me and my better half down the road.

    I bought my first Metric back in 1965, a Honda 50! and have been riding every since.

    I'm glad to be a part of this forum and hope to contribute often!

          That's great, we had three or four of us wanting to get together but they stopped posting before we got together.

          I would love to have a few Vulcan folks who want to ride from time to time!

              Welcome to the forum from Columbus, OH! There is a chapter out of Lakeland. Not sure how far from you that is. Maybe you can check them out and see what you think!

                  The lakeland chapter is what got my attention and brought me to the forum. Lakeland isn't that far in distance but time wise it is a real drive. I'm on the west coast about an hour and a half in drive time. So it might work, I think i will contact the leadership and see what they have going on and try to hook up with them.
                  On another note, I grew up in north Columbus and still have extensive family there. I left for the service in 65 and ended up in Florida. You have some great riding out and around the city. I left a CB750 in Ohio but had many good times on it before doing so!

                        Thanks Derry.........I would like to get something going here in the Gulf Coast area. If a few of us were local we would be more likely to build the membership....I will post in that area and see what happens..

                          Welcome Bob from SC 1-50. If you ever get to the Upstate of South Carolina, give us a yell!! I love Florida, want to ride to the Keys and your neck of the woods. Thing I remember about Tarpon Springs are the sponge divers, they still do that?
