• Fuck the city of Myrtle Beach AND the surrounding areas! The Pols lie about the Ralleys and lie about why the city has made new rules to discourage bikers from showing up!

  I think the whole area should be boycotted to let ALL know , how much is spent there. That way the "outside the city limits" vendors can put pressure upon the anti biker goons in "the city of Myrtle Beach"

• We are Booe Realty. We specialize in vacation rentals located in the heart of Myrtle Beach and would like to say that just because we conduct our business in Myrtle Beach does NOT mean we agree with the city council’s decision to discontinue both motorcycle rallies. We have always looked forward to the bikers coming down. Being in the vacation rental management business, we provide accommodations to quite a few bikers and have for many years. Just because the council decided what they believed to be in the best interest of Myrtle Beach, not all of the businesses, owners’ or vendors agree with their decision. We are now suffering from the repercussions of their decision which is surely not what we want.
  
  We hope the bikers continue to come despite the deterrent. Please know that our “welcome sign” is still hanging!!!
  The Booe Crew

• This is all a direct result of the week following bike week!!! If the People coming down the following week didn't destroy everything and treated the city with some respect, We wouldnt have to deal with this B.S.! Ask any one of the business owners down there what happens when we leave and the 2nd week starts! they'll all tell you it's absolute chaos. Thanks so much to all the fools who come down the second week and destroy the town, you have once again ruined a good thing for the rest of us!!

• F@#K Myrtle Beach!! I have been a participant of Bike Week for 5 yrs and NEVER have I seen nor heard of such idiocy in my life. This is ignorance at its best. ALL bikers, Harley & Sport Bike Riders should rally together and vacate Myrtle Beach and flock to North, South, or West Horry County and party like we always do, and see how their revenues do for those 10 days. Police citations alone during bike week are an incredible source of revenue for the city. But, guess our money isn't green enough for the "country bumpkins" of Myrtle Beach. No big deal, there are other vendors in the county that would LOVE to get our money, being as though we are in a recession and all,...IDIOTS!!!!!

• Myrtle Beach Helmet Freedom Ride
  Saturday February 28, 2009
  rain or shine
  
  Meet at the Beaver Bar beginning at 11:00 AM. The ride will depart at high noon.
  
  Beaver Bar (map)
  3381 Highway 17 Business
  Murrells Inlet, SC 29576

  Participants will be given instructions and route details just prior to the departure of the ride. After the ride we will warm ourselves by a fire as we burn Myrtle Beach shirts; bring yours to add to the bonfire.

• Even the Carolina Dealer Association Says FUCK YOU to Myrtle Beach (and SC)
  They moved it to NC now!!!
  http://www.1st5ive.com/harley-davidson/motorcycles/2009/03/2688/myrtle-beach-bike-week-ends-dealers-association-moves-event-out-of-south-carolina/
  
  "THE CAROLINA HARLEY-DAVIDSON DEALERS ASSOCIATION 2009 SPRING BEACH RALLY SITE HAS MOVED TO NEW BERN, NC!
  
  The Carolina Harley-Davidson Dealers Association Spring Beach Rally is the oldest, continuous running rally in the history of motorcycling and we are excited to be moving to New Bern, NC.
  
  The Tradition Continues . . . Yes, it is good-bye Myrtle Beach!
  
  The Carolina Harley-Davidson Dealers Association is pleased to announce that our 69th Annual Spring Beach Rally will be held in New Bern, North Carolina. Mark Cox, president of the association said, “We will continue our legacy of 69 years celebrating the oldest, continuous rally by offering our Spring Beach Rally in New Bern”. Mark went on to say, “This new venue will allow us to get back to basics and offer our existing and new customers a rally experience they will appreciate without restrictions and with the ability to enjoy the freedom of riding a Harley-Davidson motorcycle”.
  
  The Mayor of New Bern, T.A. Bayliss, III, welcomed the rally, “We are pleased and honored that you have chosen to hold your rally in our city, and we pledge our total cooperation in making your rally a most pleasurable and memorable occasion for all in attendance”.
  
  Historic New Bern, located at the confluence of two rivers, is the second oldest town in North Carolina. One of its many features is the picturesque downtown waterfront district and New Bern is only a 30-minute motorcycle ride to the beaches. Or, if you prefer, plan a ride to the Croatan National Forest located southeast of New Bern."
  
  
  Hope SC enjoys the lack of Bikers and their money!!!

• I am still going this year but I will not cross the city limits and will spend every cent in the county. I like the county changes to locations of permitts because it spreads everything out for more riding between. the county will generate all the revenue the city looses and show the county it is a good idea to support the rally and show the city they made a booboo.

• My crew and I Will be riding down to the Myrtle spring bike week like we have for the past 15 years. We'll ride, See our South Carolian friends, Eat,drink and Party with one new exception. We wont spend one cent within the city limits. We'll hang down in Murrells and ride down to Georgetown. Then we'll hit rte 31 north up and around the city limits to North Myrtle beach where the other half of the party will be rocking. I see theres a post from a real estate agent here that is located in the heart of the city. I feel your pain but It's up to business like yours to put the heat on the one term mayor. We all know this is B.S. hopefully when business down there start going out of business. The city will wake up and realize bikers stick together and can organize when needed.

• One other thing. No offense to the guys going to New bern. But We thought about it and cant seem to go along with being "Chased Away" by a dip-Sh&t one term part time mayor who has no legal experience. ( He ran kids basketball tournements before this gig) New Bern is probably a nice town but we'll go there when we feel like not when they tell us to. If a few of us get a ticket or two. We'll deal with it. Guess everyone has their own way to throw a TEA PARTY !!!!!

• As a baby boomer and rider myself .. I did NOT support the council !!! However I own a restaurant in Myrtle Beach city limits .. I know .. I'm screwed.. lol.. however .. bikers need to stand together like the other bike week and make a huge statement to MB.. in dignified fashion .. stand up for your rights.. Please make the right choice and let your actions speaks louder than words .. The business in MB .. NEED your business and depend on it .. not to shut our doors down.. We rely on YOU to get through the winter .. Yes I have a vested, however thousands of employees in MB depend on this money to survive.. Do not punish us for the ignorance of the city council .. Human nature .. if someone tells us WE CANT do something .. what do we do .. STAND UP AND RIDE .. BE HEARD ..

• Wow, ya'll wonder why they banned you? You'll never understand what real freedom is, well, maybe one day just before the end you'll get a brief glimpse of understanding that it's more than physical...

• we do want your money and support. we are the little people who don't really have the means to start a countermovement. i know tons of servers who are angry about this week being so terrible.
  my birthday falls during bike week and i have had a very depressing birthday today because there aren't any rumbles to make it feel like my birthday.

• %$#@ Myrtle Beach. I've given them way too much money since the mid-70's to have them treat me like they have.
  
  MB didn't just start with this years antics... They cost our company about $10K in '05, and have never refunded a penny. We had 8 employees, 50 linear feet of tents, 4 trailers of goods and transport vehicles, loads of money in expenses, etc all wasted...all for the simple display of our products (not sales). City mgmt told me "though $h1t, they didn't care about our losses". Long story, but I'll never take my businesses or family back to MB as long as I live.
  
  I'm trying to help their cause by posting signs in our businesses in NC to tell everyone of our experiences with MB. MB has become a place too good for me, run by a bunch of snotty politicians. They forget that bikers went to MB for things other than bike week. They pissed off several hundred thousand people who will in turn tell countless more thounds. AFAIC, if they fail, it couldn't happen to a more deserving bunch. I spent a lot of money there from about 1976 on...several times/year. Never again. Not a dime in '09, again in '10, etc.
  
  Here's what I wrote and published online in '05...
