Went to Myrtle Beach Rally last year and they made me feel very unwelcome. There are plenty of places to ride where people want bikers and our money. Let them keep their city, its time for Biketoberfest anyway. We'll always be welcomed in Daytona.

Been to the MB rally a few times, last year we went to the fall ralley. I could tell it was the beggining of the end, my friend was pulled over two times in about an hour for small things (no tickets issued). I been getting emails from our hotel in MB with great pricing, and yes we could afford to go. Even if people get voted out of office, people will find other events to go to and not come back for some time.
We been doing the Outer Banks for three years now in the spring. Its a great destination, great riding down rt.12 to the light house. They are very happy to have us and our money.

I went to MB last spring, wasn't overly impressed and that was before the Mayor changed the laws... Coming from NJ, I would rather drive the extra couple hours and go to Daytona, much better and for the most part they welcome bikers!!

We live in Nova Scotia and went to the last 2 spring rallies in Myrtle Beach. First was great, last year was half the size and we heard we weren't welcome in town, just North MB. Didn't enjoy as much and will not go back. Going to Daytona instead. Their decision is hurting tourism ,we always spend 4 weeks south in the spring

I'm a minister and have worked at the rally for about 8 years. I called a hotel a few weeks before the rally and was quoted $109 per night. I called Thursday, one day into the rally, and was given a rate of $49! I never did make it this year, but friends who were there at an Outreach area told me over 100 came to Jesus. Hopefully, a few of them were the mayor and members of city council.

F*ck Myrtle Beach! They got what they wanted. Been there many times and scratched it off my list last year.
Anyway, what was so great about MB? Beer and ****? I can have the same 10 miles from where I live. Sorry but riding sucked big time. Riding a bike on Business 17 is not what I call riding.
We've decided to go back to the Smokies next spring. Talk about great rides, great scenery and great people. Plus it's closer and cheaper. A winning proposition as far as I'm concerned.
