this one: http://www.myrtlebeachbikeweek.com/events/
So what is really Bike week? Is it Bike Month, or Bike Spring? So many any more hard to keep up.

 

My last trip to MB was two years ago. Just say no to MB, go to a rally that really wants you. MB does not. Even if I accidentally stumble into MB, I will spend my $ in North MB or Merrills Inlet or anywhere but MB. They hate bikers....get it? they hate bikers.
I'm riding to Thunder Beach in Panama City Beach this spring.

 

Amen to that! I was born and raised in S.C. And I won't step foot in MB. They are the most biker unfriendly city I've run across. They were the only city in S.C. to have a helmet law until the courts struck it down. And they have ordinances for loud pipes that are just plain ridiculous. At one time the cops were giving out tickets for anything louder than stock pipes. As a result of the aforementioned items, I won't spend one dime in MB. I go to Daytona instead, where they appreciate bikers and their money.

You should specify its the City of Myrtle Beach, not the whole Grand Strand. Most people who don't know this associate all of the Grand Strand as Myrtle Beach.

Cherry Grove, City of North Myrtle Beach, Surfside Beach & Murrells Inlet were not involved with what the City of Myrtle Beach did and have had no helmet laws and welcome riders.

As far as noise police, its happening all over the country. Sadly there are those who cant ride with common sense with loud pipes. They have to be "Throttle Gaggers" all the time. This brings the cops out to hassle many riders

 

I get what you're saying, its just too bad that MB screwed it up for the whole region.

 

THIS! I lived in the Surfside / Murrells Inlet area, and they do WANT you there. That's where all the fun is anyway. Don't listen to the haters...they tend to overreact and make blanket statements about the whole area.

 

Not a hater, just don't like the City of Myrtle Beach because of their policies. Until they started giving bikers crap I was going down there a few times a year. I agree with you on Surfside and Murrels Inlet and still frequent that area.

I agree with the others about MB. If you go stay either north or south of the city. The area is very nice but the city hates bikers. They will make your stay very uncomfortable. The area north or south is for the biker crowd. In my opinion I would never go back.

We are going this year, but we stay in North MB. We were going to Daytona, but emergency circumstances changed those plans. So MB it is…..Not a biggy! I am going for relaxation and the first vacation in two years….
