Default North Myrtle welcomes bikers

At least they got some brains, (I think)

From todays Fayetteville Observer;

MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. — While officials in Myrtle Beach continue efforts to subdue the May biker rallies, their neighbors in North Myrtle Beach are putting out the word that bikers are welcome in their town.

The Sun News of Myrtle Beach reports that tourism promoters sent an e-mail last week to 90,000 potential visitors mentioning the biker controversy and Myrtle Beach’s strategy to tame the riders. The message promotes what the north end has to offer and includes a note from North Myrtle Beach City Manager John Smithson.

Promoters sent the e-mail aiming to lure some biker business and clarify that North Myrtle Beach hasn’t approved the same stricter biker rules that Myrtle Beach has.

New rules in Myrtle Beach were approved last year after officials said the biker rallies had gotten too big and rowdy.

My mom lives near Myrtle and gave me this news yesterday. I am still curious if anyone knows where the Carolina HD Assoc. is going to be holding their main events. I have not heard anything on this as of yet.
