I hate to hear that myrtle is doing this...i mean i have gone for years, but we aren't coming down this year. =/

 

That is not always the way it works. Are you telling me there is no one in your area in government office that you don't like?

 

Living in NC and in Charlotte, there are lots of gov't officials that I don't like; but like I said, I haven't seen much from the populace in Horry Co., decrying these regulations. I guess tonight we'll see how the County Commission reacts to the new vendor proposals. If they pass without much opposition, then the board probably does speak for the majority of the consitiuents (in that case, screw HC and MB--I'll vacation with my family elsewhere--like many others have said (yet still come down for bike week). If there is a major showing from the businesses and other concerned residents, regardless of whether the new regulations/guidelines are enacted, then bikers will know that the beliefs of a few have overtaken the governing body.

 

I think you should start another post, and ask for sponsors to pay your helmet fines and sponsors to pay your loud pipe fines. Then you could ride and ride and when the city of MB fines you over and over and over again, you just pull out one of your markers from this site, and say thanks for the memories.

Then you go to the ACLU and complain that your civil liberties are being taken away unfairly because they are profiling you.

What is the fine for a helmet offense, and does it increase as the number of violations increase? I might be willing to pay your second ticket for a helmet if it is not too expensive.

 

it is hard to feel sorry for HC residents when they vote in a moron like this:

<<With the future of this year's spring motorcycle rallies at stake, Horry County Council Chairwoman Liz Gilland initially was so torn that she left it to chance.
Faced with casting the deciding vote on a controversial amendment to an already controversial proposal aimed at curtailing the rallies, Gilland said she hit both the "yea" and "nay" buttons at the same time. Her vote came out "yea.">>

 

Nobody asked you to feel sorry for them.

 

Wonder if the city council realizes how many bikers also take familey vacations there like I used to?
