Considering a move to SC. , questions ...
Hi to S. Carolina people . I'm considering a move to somewhere from the middle of the state to the coast. I prefer flatland to mountains. Good size town or city. Decent people rather than hood rats. I've heard the salt air from the ocean can *** up the bike. If so , how far away from the coast do i need to be ?
I do appreciate all comments and ideas ,
Thanks,

I'm not a S. Carolina expert aside from going to Myrtle Beach Bike Week. You might want to try the forums on City-Data.com. People were very helpful when I was moving to Florida 3 years ago. I know live in one of the areas recommended and couldn't be happier.

I was stationed in Charleston for 8 years back in the 80's, lived on Isle of Palms for 5 of them, and didn't have a car, just 3 motorcycles: 1982 Suzi GS-1100, 1984 Suzi GS-1150ESF, and a 1986 Suzi GSXR-1100. No garage, just a carport and none of those bikes suffered from being on the Island. Just make sure to clean your ride on a regular basis, and the occasional water spray down (we in the Navy called it a "*****'s bath") every week or so.
Good luck on the move

I don't know what your priorities are in life but if you love food that will kill you by 60 then Charleston is the place for you. You can eat brunch every Sunday at a different restaurant for a year and never eat the same thing twice. It was 85 degrees until Halloween this year which is great for riding.

Just moved to Summerville area can go west and be in county and can go east and be in populated areas and the coast. The salt here is much better now n the bike than the salt they put on the roads up north.

If you move to northern SC two Hrs. west of the coast you won't be far from the NC line which puts you in a good location. 2-3 hrs. from the beach and 3 hrs. from the mountains. I am in central NC two miles from the SC line. Nice riding and less traffic.
