Interesting news out of the Myrtle Beach Bike Rally situation. Over the weekend, the "Myrtle Beach Helmet Freedom Ride" was held with some 200 motorcycles. The ride is to protest the helmet law passed to restrict the motorcycle rallies held in Myrtle Beach. The police did write a number of tickets to those not wearing helmets. Those tickets carry a $100 fine, but the plan is to contest them in court. Many other ordinances in the city have been passed including noise regulations and curfews.
I also read today that the Carolina Harley Davidson Dealers Association (the official sponsor of the Spring Ride) is planning to move their sponsorship of the rally to New Bern, NC. The city is apparently quite pleased to have the event there, and will host the event at the fairgrounds. The web site with more information is at http://www.chdda.com on the event.
Apparently there are still plans for a Spring Rally at Myrtle Beach, though the plan is to avoid the city limits in order to bypass the restrictions. All things considered, it ought to be a very interesting May in Myrtle Beach, SC and New Bern, NC.
