Default Hello and What Chapter do I fall under?

Hello everyone,
Mine name is Tom, been riding for years but am new to riding a bagger. I wish I knew how much fun it was years ago! I have a 1990 Tour Glide Ultra Classic with 32k on the clock and looking to add many more. So, I was hoping to join the Florida Crew. Is there a goldfish I gotta eat or something like that? Also just so I can keep my eye out for rides what chapter would I fall under? I am in the St Pete/Clearwater area or as I like to call it the arm pit of Florida.

The arm pit crew works for me, lived in the Tampa bay area for almost 40 years can't think of a better way to describe it ..

Welcome & congrats.. You just joined the crew.. No goldfish will be harmed in this welcome… You fall under the central left coast chapter… There are a few great people in your general area..

As far as rides go, just check in here.. Rides aren’t limited to area you’re in, just how far you want to go.. A 300 mile lunch run (or peach) is the norm.. Occasionally you’ll find shorter, or closer runs..

The main thing about this group is the love to ride.. Oh yeah, watch out for the 2 old grouches…
