Myrtle Beach weekend

The wife and I rode to Myrtle Beach on an overnight trip this past weekend. I had mixed feelings about going there but we got a good room rate on short notice so off we went. After talking to several people in the city, business owners and citizens alike, I really feel sorry for most of them. None wanted to eliminate the original HD bike week but the second bike week was getting so out of hand that something had to be done. Trash in the streets, trash in private yards, condos and hotels with thousands of dollars in damages, etc. (I know I would not want to live there during that week) They could not eliminate only the second week without the NAACP getting involved so there was really no alternative. The elected city officials have to be very cautious about how they couch their discussions of this issue. Once again the many suffer because of the outrageous behavior of the few. What a shame.

i was down there during the fall rally and everyone said exactly what you said, they said the harley riders were the nicest people ever, but the caged animals ruined it for everyone, like you said SHAME.
