You can always come up to Lacoina in June. The locals still love bikers in NH.

 

+1 screw them

 

Would have been my 4th year going, instead we are going to Americade in June.

 

The lawyers are wrong again. MB can not supersede state laws. Also you can not take the tickets to court since they are infractions that will be deal with by the CITY MANAGER not the court system. A federal judge in Florence is now dealing with the subject. He said he was going to take his time making a decision and it's 6 months to the spring rally.

I scratched MB from my travel plans this year and into the future. Why go where you're not wanted?

 

outlaw0013 I hate to tell you (and already have along with a second poster) but the information I posted came from my Criminal Lawyer in Myrtle Beach and he said, "Cities Can Enact Their Own Laws That Can Be Totally Different From The State Laws and Enforce Them As Such" but The COUNTY is under State jurisdictions (sp). I spoke to him the week of Fall bike week about the Helmet Law and Noise Law ordanaces (along with getting my butt ripped on property tax). I will tell you this, if you get Charged in the City, PLEAD NOT GUILTY the docket is backed up more than a year, if you want a jury trial. I totally agree it's Not Right but need to beware of what they can do. I would advise just like others, Stay The Heck Out of Myrtle Beach (city). I'm sure I'm going to make a mistake and ride by the sign without a skid-lid on and get popped. The bad thing about all this Crap is they're going to drive the Atlantic Beach Crime Fest farther North and that's exactly where I am.
