Irish, that is aboslutely beautiful.  Makes me a little ashamed of myself. We have the 3 Mile bridge going to the beach. I have yet to conquor it.  I load the scoot on my truck then ride all over the beach and such. You were brave, so now maybe it will help me shake the nervies. |

Ask around some of the old hometown people there, alot of the people that live around Port Tampa area grew up there and say there was something on the old German sub. they didn`t want to upset. ??

That bridge is a freak when you're riding in a car - I can't imagine it on a scooter!
Ride on, my friend!

To think they were in our back yards, and so many! I love the skyway, never been over other than a car many times, almost feels like you are flying. Go scooter go It must have been something Irish. Scoot safe ....

I liked reading that,here`s a bone. I dont dive deeper than 20` so chances of me seeing one would be in a museum. I had at alot of my fishing buddies tell me the same story, and a short clip on Tampa TV. Unless I saw it myself at this point....? Scoot safe--<")))<<

Saturday I went to Palmetto over the Skyway with my CF Moto 250 Fashion with another guy with the same scooter, the wind wasn't too bad so it was a nice ride, at the rest area happened to run into a couple from Largo that had 2 Fashions also, beginning to see alot of them down here.Went over the bridge about a month ago and it was windy that day and it wasn't alot of fun then. Jim this is the big bridge that goes over Tampa Bay I was nerviest about riding over it but not no more I had a blast after I got over stop at the south side rest area and was mad at my self for not bringing my camera so I drove home and got it didn't want to ride over it again today I decided to take this pic form Pinellas point Great ride going to do it again and will get a better pic of the bridge |
