Myrtle Beach
I know this isn't the right place to post this however. I have in front of me an ordinance, number 2008-64 that states anyone riding a motorcycle within the city limits of myrtle beach shall wear an approved helmut and protective eye wear. I went to myrtlebeachbikeweek.com and printed this off...after I picked myself up off the floor. Someone smarter than me needs to review this and see if it is legal for them to do this. I'm no lawyer and haven't a clue!

I doubt the helmet law will stand up in court as local laws cannot supercede state laws
here is a summary of them
Amend existing Nuisance law found in Chapter 10, Article II, Nuisances of the Code. The effects of an unpermitted special event, or rally are a public nuisance against public health, public decency, peace and order, public welfare and safety and the public economy and responsible parties to be held financially responsible for public cost that result from their promotion.
this will allow them to control who sets up any kind of vendors ect..
2008-59 New law amending Chapter 14, Article 1, Section 14-1. No alcohol served between 2:00 a.m. and 6:00 a.m. Note substantial changes. Business can exempt from 2:00 a. m. to 6:00 a. m. sale prohibition upon showing of policy or practice that addresses among other things underage drinking, over-serving, internal and premises security. Exemption can be revoked upon events of criminality on premises of business.
they made a change to this requireing any bar that stays open after 2 am to have all of their security (bouncers) licensed and bonded

The best thing that could happen is that a motorcycle NEVER sets foot there again. Let em see the financial impact. It's all about votes, and courting the old farts that have retired there. I'll never go back.

I had planned a trip there next week but that's out of the question now.
Sounds like the geezer drain pipe to Florida got clogged and it's backing up into South Carolina.
I'll take my $2500 someplace else.

I was just posting in a regional forum, I might make some calls and emails to the golf brokers and the top courses in the area. I know a lot of bikers don't golf, but I bet more do than some people think, and I wonder if the golf community (big business down there) thought they weren't so insulated from this mess, they might have some words for the local 'leaders' as well as some of the hotels, although it's tougher to get to higher ups at the hotels. It's not just the rally's at this point, I don't even have time to read the ordinances enough to understand them, making me just not want to go there for fear of violating some bs infraction. Like someone said something about some BS pipe sticker that no one would ever have, who needs the drama?
But I have memories there, and have friends that play golf there, and family that likes to meet other families there, and it's gonna be hard to get non-bikers to change their plans, and I don't want to lose certain connections, so it kinda sucks...

During the hearings a couple of lawyers with clients opposed to the ordinances questioned the constitutionality of the actions. The attorney for the city replied "We'll let the judges decide" It seems the city isn't concerned if they trample peoples rights.
On the helmet law. I thought the city could have a stricter law than state law, but not a more lenient one. For example, if the state required a helmet, the city must require a helmet. Although the state doesn't ban smoking in businesses, many cities do.
My parents live there, so I'll get to see how this plays out.
Just my .02
