Question Myrtle Beach in July

Hi all,

Heading to Myrtle Beach July 2-10. Two things I wanted to know.....

1) Are their any events going on I should be aware of? Good, bad, other?

2) Any good tattoo parlors around?

I got my first last year in Daytona at Tropical *****'s. Great work and good people. Looking for a place like that if there is one.

Thanks

Well, since tattooing only recently became legal in SC within the past two years yes there are a lot of shops. I can't say which are good though. I don't spend any time to be able to advise. Mid july is the first responder convention from what I gathered through a quick google search.

Enjoy yourself...and if you're staying in MB proper, bring your helmet. They have a helmet law within the city limits. Otherwise, you're free to ride w/o.

Be on your toes, the local fuzz are watching for bikers of all types now it seems. Like the other guy said, make sure you're wearing your helmet inside the city limits. The ticket is pretty nasty from what I've heard.

If you have aftermarket pipes you can expect a ticket for that to. The noise ordinance is about 98 db at 24 inches at idle. Most all the aftermarket exhaust will not pass this and the ticket is $100.00. Myrtle Beach does not want motorcycles within the city limits and I for one will honor that. Coming up in the near future Surfside and Garden City will jump in with stricter ordinance. It was in the news today that they are meeting to discuss ordinances to sideline motorcycles.

We used to go to MB several times a year not even counting spring and fall bike rallys. Since they made these new rules for bikes we won't even go in cars now, they wont get a dime from me... We'll go to the House ofo Blues in NMB and that's it!
