two spots i know of the one already mentioned on old national on sundays and there is a spot off of wesley chapel that they meet on saturday's i believe. you can also go tot he varsity on thrusday nihts and see a lot of bikers down there. for your first bike a gsxr is the way to go or a R6. but the most important thing is go to a shop and sit on each bike you are interested in and see if the seat is comfortable to you. no matter how much you like to ride or love your bike after 1 hour your ass will be killing you believe me.
