ThunderBeach Panama City, never been before
Wanted to check with some of you that have been or are regulars for this event. Since Myrtle has changed their opinion of bikeweek we're thinking about riding down to the Gulf Coast this year and wondering what you think of this rally?
Is it spread out? really crowded?
Is it wise to ride down and then look for a place to stay or should we make reservations prior?
Any info is appreciated for this first timer.

It is spread out all along the beach road. It can get crowded, but not too bad. The best thing is that all businesses and residents seem to appreciate you being there.
You will love it.
I would call ahead and get a reservation today, if you are going for the spring event. BTW, there is also a fall event, not nearly as crowded.

me and my wife are riding down this year. im hoping it will be alot of fun. we're regulars to PCB usually a couple times a year. last several times we've been we stayed at DAYS INN its around 110 dollars with our AAA discount. the rooms are ok and clean usually. 2 pools and a bar at the pool. its well worth the 110 when other places are well over 200$ a night. we'll be on the black road king classic with ape hangers, stop and hollar at us if you see us. have fun and be safe! : )

The prices are fair up and down the beach. Some are new and some are old and rundown. I stay at the Holiday Inn Resort but only because I have enough points each year for it to be free. You can also get some pretty good deals on condo rental. Hear's a good place to start:

What I have found impressive is the people I have been in touch with for Thunder Beach is how much they want us to be there. Even the hotel(I don't remember which one we booked)but they asked if we were coming down for the rally, when told yes they got excited and the rate is a lot cheaper than MB's and we didn't have to book the room for a minimum number of days like the Hotels in MB would do. I am pretty excited about going myself, Thunder Beach seems like its going to be a good one that will continue to grow because they want us there.
