I think they are counting on a reduction in property insurance to make up for the loss of revenue.

 

I don't give a rats rear about MB, however I'm thinking some more fine "cities" may soon follow their lead.

 

LOL.... I agree. Too many other places to go that would welcome us (and our money)!!!!

 

I've given MB a bunch of money over the years. I will never spend another fuggin' penny there.

I've made the appropriate changes... Daytona baby!

 

Welcome to Savannah !!!. Y'all should come to out St. Patricks Day Celebration to check things out. 2nd largest in the country.

 

And to think that the wife and I were going to plan a vacation so we could ride down from MA and attend.

Their loss ($$$), not mine.

 

It's all politics! The local Chamber and City Officials are out of touch with their constituants. I bet none of them ride a H-D, or really care about the guy that relies on that income to feed their family or make their house payments. The new ordinances are a joke. I didn't know that a city could have a helmet law that supercedes the states authority. Well, it ought to be interesting when local elections roll around. Like others, I will no longer vacation in Mrytle Beach. Hello, Daytona or Cocoa Beach.

 

I agree that "Sport Bike Week" aka "Memorial Day Bike Week" the week after "Myrtle Beach Bike Week" is the real reason Myrtle Beach took this action. It is pretty obvious after so many business closed during the second week but not the first week every year. This has been a battle for years there. Not a big surprise.

 

One business owner ( hotel ) who is against this BS says that he'll lose over 1.5 million if he HD rally leaves MB. He and the others should have spoken up sooner than they did. We'll have to wait and see what happens in Feb when the helmet law takes effect. I want to know how they are going to handle MB when they supersede the states helmet law. Last time I checked they can't really enforce it. It will not be reported to DMV and will be handled by the city admin office. What will they do if you don't show up to pay??

 

a few years ago the city of chicago tried to put a helmet law in effect inside the city limits, it got tossed because the city overstepped its power. the truth is for whatever reason it has been made clear to us that we are not welcome so f*ck em. my money's green and I'll spend it where I'm welcome. MotorcycleEvents.com lists lots of places to go so check it out and go. oh tell em MB sent you.
