Myrtle Beach Bike Week It is listed as "the grand strand" I had heard also the city of MB pretty much threw the rally out. Passed laws concerning helmets in city limits, noise and loitering laws. So a nearby community said come on down.

 

I think what happened was the city of Myrtle Beach wanted to stop black bike week which is right after the MB rally due to all the problems it was causing.

They enacted a mandatory helment law for the city only. This caused all the bikers and vendors to stay away from MB and go to Murrells Inlet and North MB.

Some businesses in MB took the city to court because of the money they were losing during the rally because the bikers avoided the city.

A judge ruled that the city could not override a state law on helmets. Helmets are not required for adults.

The rally is still good but I don't think it will ever be as big as it once was.

Yup I did hear about the conflict between the 2 different rally's. So close together and somewhat overlapping. More sport bikes on the latter and zoom zoom up and down the streets etc.

So the stories pretty much match.

Is anyone else going. It looks like I got a two bedroom set up that sleeps eight people from Monday to Thursday. Figured if anyone wants to drop in I'll have some extra room.

 

 

I need to know what day y'all want to meet up so I can get that day off.

I used to go to a dance club in Myrtle Beach. Three times I was there on MM Day weekend during the bike week. Normally, it took me about 15 minutes to get from the club in Myrtle and stop at a restaurant in North Myrtle to eat some breakfast before driving home . Once I left the club at 01:00 AM and it was 05:30 when I reached the restaurant because the streets were so jammed up with traffic. It's unbelievable. After that I drove out 501 until I hit the I95 to go home. It added an hour to my driving time but that was nothing in comparison. If I was a young black single guy I'd definitely be there. Looks pretty wild.
