Sorry...HOLLISTER in California was the oldest bike rally in the USA, and unfortunatly, has been canceled the last 2 years due to complaints from non-bikers.

GHollister was the birthplace of the American Biker, and was the basis for the storyline of the movie, "Wild Ones" starring Marlon Brando.

Myrtle Beach bike week was a blast while it lasted. Won't go back unless it goes back to the way it was. And, I think there are MANY other places with great seafood.

I know guys who keep hanging around an old girlfriend or ex who has dumped them, because they just can't believe its over...it's pathetic...

MB used to be a blast, but the City doesn't love us anymore...

And don't fckn' kid yourself that the money you spend in the county doesn't make it's way back into the hands of the residents of MB proper...that's naive...

Man up, and take your *** to the many other rallys and cities that welcome bikers with open arms...

MB has seen the last of my happy ***, my bike and the $$$ I used to spend there...

Fck 'em...

Why go somewhere you're not wanted? Too many other cities that are biker friendly. Just my .02.

A little something I heard about Myrtle beach.

A. You park any way out of line, they tow your bike as is. Not like in Daytona where you could park pretty much anywhere you wanted except in the highways. If you go and park outside of a designated bike parking area, it's gone.

B. I was told bars are now limited as to how many alcoholic beverages they can serve to people during bike week there, so even if you're walking to and from the bar I think the max they can serve you is four.

I'm sorry, but that's just bullshit. If I'm going to walk my *** to a bar to have a drink, I should be able to get more than four.

The deal with the parking they don't allow more than 2 bikes per metered space or you will get a ticket. I saw tickets issued for this. Never saw anyone towed.

Never seen or heard of a 4 drink max.

No Myrtle Beach on my itinerary.
I know when I'm not wanted.
There's better roads in North America.
