Law all over in riot gear.

Not to mention that SC is the most crooked state in the South. If you get a speeding ticket, you will pay your ticket to an officer, and it will never show up on your record, just a way for the officers to make a little on the side.

Pretty places to ride, but a lot of aggravation.
Guess I've always missed the riot gear. And if you think the cops are crooked and didn't report the theft of the money, that says a lot too.

Exactly. I've had several tickets since moving to SC years ago, and not once have I paid an officer directly. Don't believe everything you read on the internet. My experiences with LE down here have been pretty positive...other than the actual tickets which were all legit. I had far more problems with LE in MD...

I have been going to MB for years. Never had a problem with the police and have never seen any riot gear. The kuckleheads I know that have had problems deserved all they got.

Law all over in riot gear BS. payin a ticket right to the cop?? BS again. It ain't Mayberry. I've gone down 8 years in a row, will leave tomorrow to go again. Bikes stolen?? Daytona probably has more bikes stolen in one year than MB in 20. I don't know who started the BS rumors but I've NEVER had an issue there. The only folks I have ever seen pulled over were acting like Aholes. MB is still the best rally on the east coast. A select few weenies in the town of MB started some crap in 09 but that's 5 years ago and although it did take a toll on attendance I've heard more crap stories from folks that have never been there than those that have.
