I’ve been once and had a good time.
Kinda like a bike fest for me as the main attraction is how some of the ladies dress!

The legend involving the invasion of Tampa has it that the Mayor turned over keys to the city in hopes that he and his crew wouldn’t rape, pillage and plunder.
In other words the city likes to celebrate the fact they were all a bunch of wusses and gave in rather than fight!
What a great thing to celebrate…
