I was there last year and had a blast. Never even went into MB proper. Took the bypass to and from Surfside and North Myrtle to avoid the city. Still plenty going on and worth the trip. I do feel for the biker friendly business owners inside of MB that will no doubt take another hit this year due to the helmet/loud pipes/parking/vendor laws, but I just can't justify riding through a place that is clearly trying to rewrite laws to deter certiain AMERICAN CITIZENS from visiting the area. Anyway, (now that off my soapbox) yes I will be riding down again this year and I look forward to all that the riding and fun in the sun the area has to offer.

 

Im gonna be going. but ill be in a cage ;( the wife wants to go and our little boy cant stay overnight at anyones house yet so its gonna be a family trip. But still looking forward to the sun, bikes, and events. anyone know of a good site for events? I found some of the events going on at local bars but im looking for a large events calander for all the bike games etc.

 

I used to go back in the mid 90s when the event was at it's peak. They used to let bikes go up and down "the strip" along the beach in both directions. It was a wild time! I haven't gone since they locked the town down.

 

can anyone tell me the dates of bike week and black bike week. I want to make sure I take leave at the right time. Im planning on going down on the 12th and staying for about a week. Is that during normal bike week?

 

Harley week is usually the weekend after Mother's Day.
Black bike week is usually Memorial Day weekend.

 

Ok thanks thats what I was thinking but wanted to make sure.

 

I think that the dates are May8th through the next Sunday..Beemer/DocWobblin

 

Won't dare go down there to be harassed. I can go around here for that.

 

update.... Myrtle Beach trip cancelled, due to finances.
